Lately, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to jazz up our table numbers. Granted, we’re having a very small wedding and will only need 6 tables to accommodate our guests, but still. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve got Bride Brain, and with Bride Brain comes the irrational desire to incorporate every cute detail that I come across, no matter how small. So, naturally, while surfing Weddingbee—particularly Mrs. Perfume’s archives, as I’ve found that we have an almost identical sense of style, I came across these:

Designed by the fabulous Lindsey Ryan, these babies are totally swoon worthy. In keeping with our “Marie Antoinette-meets-Alice in Wonderland” inspiration, the locations would have been more French-centric (pretty sure that’s not a word…) but with the overall same vintage feel. I was thisclose to ripping off, er… borrowing… this idea from Perfume when I noticed these little details from the Jessica Claire Workshop:

When I saw the numbers on the scale it hit me—clocks, duh! How Alice is that? It’s perfect! I thought about buying mantle clocks, but when I saw that adorable blue pinwheel, I knew I had to incorporate it somehow. DIY clocks it is! Here’s my first shot at it; it’s totally ghetto fabulous:

Oooh, I just realized that this is your first glimpse at our centerpieces. More to come, I promise! Anyway, the clock is way too large, I only had tissue paper on hand for the pinwheel, and my printer wouldn’t work, so I had to DIY the clock face. Basically, I ghetto rigged the whole operation, but the concept is there, it just needs some fine-tuning. I’ll have a tutorial for you when I get all the kinks worked out!

Oh, and by the way, I hope everyone at our wedding can tell time because—true story—I had to Google “how to read a clock” because I forgot which hand (big or little) was the hour hand… … don’t tell.

What do you think? What are you doing for your table numbers?
