For some weird reason, I have a raging headache. As I’m stuck at work, here are some pictures to keep us entertained.

These are pictures of details from the reception room.

The escort cards

Closer look

A few of the tables, before the candles were lit, or with just a flash (making them look brighter than they were).

Another table

Table views with flash and candles unlit.

In reality, the colors were much more golden and just glowed.

Here is our sweetheart table

Using the vase

More flower in vase pics, this one with our place cards, which had the table named “Paradise”. Cheesy.

Another shot, we’re dancing in this one (obviously, right?)

Our toasting flutes

The cake table

The tree atop our cake.

And one of my favorite shots:

And those are Mrs. Kiwi’s details! The tables were named after various trees, a few of them significant. My MIL’s table was named Jacaranda, for instance. This was a tree Mr. Kiwi planted with his dad many years ago. My dad’s family was seated at Magnolia, because they grew up with a magnolia tree right outside their window. My cousin Ashley was seated at “Ash”, and the “fun” table (as we called it) was named Poplar- a take on “popular” because I’m lame like that.

I was pleasantly surprised with the table name look, as Mrs. Snow Pea had created some beauties for me, which I was unable to print myself being a moron. My good friend Tricia made these up and printed them, and sent them to me right before the wedding. They were a huge hit. The centerpiece vases had the ribbon attached with hot glue (and I had the scalds to prove it!) the day before the wedding, and filled with all sorts of glass marbley things and glass acorns. Those were also a huge hit, with none remaining after the reception. In fact, my aunt had hers up on the table for thanksgiving!

More pics to come!
