Last minute I decided to make Bride and Groom signs to be placed at our spots at the table. We wanted to sit right in the middle of the table facing out to everyone who was there, and not to the dance floor. It gave those few minutes, between everyone visiting us to say hello, to really soak in all of the people that came together that night.

One more shot of the food station signs.

The hallway that led to the pre-function area and ballroom was lined with these vases. At the end of the hallway, right before the entrance, there were white curtains that were tied with beautiful floral arrangements a la Bella Flora.

My 3″x3″ escort cards.

The sign-in table next to the escort card table.

Our gifts. I just love the sculpture on the wall. It makes this picture just so much more interesting.

Mr. H knew from day one that he wanted to have a cigar roller at our event. We ended up using Sabino Sotelo with d’Havana Cigars.

The yummy Paciugo cart that we had at the reception. Mr. H and I snuck out to get some before they ran out, and Mr. H was bummed he never got to eat any of his because we got so sidetracked from the cart to our table that his had melted.

Yes, I even customized the cups for the gelato. I couldn’t resist - and, while I thought we’d have plenty extras, we didn’t have many at all!

Our favors for the end of the night. Vases of baby’s breath. I had intially started with this idea for the escort cards, but they were too big for our guests to carry around during cocktail hour. Many guests had left before these were all in place, and many just walked right by, so we had about 100 of these babies to transport back to my parents’ house the next day. Next to all of them was a Thank You sign from the two of us.

Up next? Let’s get the party started!
