This past weekend I flew to Providence to wrap up several wedding-related loose ends. We squeezed in a hair trial, final dress fitting, meeting with the caterer, meeting with the florist, stopped by the chapel, and ran errands galore. It was phenomenal how much we were able to accomplish.

I’m not sure if this is common, but our caterer, Russell Morin, provides an on-site person to oversee everything at our reception. Since booking with Russell Morin we have worked exclusively with Liza who has been absolutely amazing. She has worked with us to not only establish our menu and catering-related coordination but also the timeline of our event and similar technicalities. Liza will be setting up a lot of the details at our reception: placing our guestbook, organizing the candy bar, displaying all signage, etc. For this reason, we had to get all of these items to her.

Here’s what we brought:

1. Custom Napkins

I fell in love with Amber’s wedding featured on Real Weddings. When I saw that she had an Etsy Shop. I knew I had to have those napkins! Plus, I knew attempting Gocco was beyond my patience and ability. She’s fantastic and I adore our napkins!

To cut cost, I layered our custom Gocco napkins with plain gold napkins. MOH Julia helped layer!

2. “Just Married” Sign

Mr. Seashell and I Cricut’ed this a while ago. I meant to blog about it but somebody deleted the photos. *coughcoughMr.Seashell* The sign is being placed on our sweetheart table.

3. Table Numbers

Also Cricut’ed by the Mr. and Miss Seashell duo.

4. Gold Pen Cup, Pens, and Guestbook

This probably didn’t deserve its own photo, but tracking down the “just right” cup was harder than you’d think.

6. Candy Jars and Candy

Admittedly, this is not the best photo. It will make the real deal look that much better when I blog professional photos from the wedding.

7. Sparkly wands

Sadly, even though real, flaming sparklers are legal in Rhode Island, fire codes at our venue have not changed. Thank you for the info hive, but it appears my sparkly wands will have to suffice.

And there you have a sneak preview of some of our wedding details! The countdown has officially hit single digits. UNREAL!
