Wedding Blog

Well hello, long time, I know… It’s been a CRAZY couple of days here and I have so much to catch up on! I haven’t unplugged for this long in years and I still feel a bit out of it (you should see how overwhelmed my poor Google Reader is right now…).

Anyhow, Mr. Lemonade and I finally finished moving into the new home and out of the old one late last night. Honestly, the only thing that’s been on my mind the past 3 days has been packing, unpacking, and ensuring Vida makes the transition smoothly (she already used her head as a battering ram and busted a hole in the brand freakin’ new fence). However, now that we’re in, it’s all wedding (and a bit of Christmas decorating and planning merriment) all the time.

First up, cocktail hour décor. I can’t believe I totally forgot about this! When we were in SA a while ago for our walkthrough/tasting we decided that during our cocktail hour we are going to have passed appetizers with 6 tall cocktail tables set up inside and outside for people to place their stuff on and whatnot. I TOTALLY didn’t even consider that I’d have to find a way to decorate the darn things as well! Ugh. Well, recently I brainstormed about it a bit in an attempt to find the most attractive and cost effective option. Thanks to my awesome Bee counterparts I’ve come up with an easy and inexpensive plan.

We’ll have the tables covered with ivory linens and a champagne overlay on top. The centerpieces will be big ’ol mounds of baby’s breath (thanks Powder Puff and Dumpling!). These are the inspiration pictures I sent to my rockstar florist, Erin:

That was easy.

Have you forgotten to plan décor for any part of your wedding? How did you make up for it?
