Since we’re planning this wedding long distance, Mr. Crepester and I schedule meetings over the phone to discuss details. Something that has been so helpful in this process is Dropbox. Whenever I have photos or links to share, I can compile them in folders and, in a few minutes, the mister can access them.

Last night we had one of those phone/web meetings. Mr. Crepe had taken photos of the space, and here is basically what we are working with:

Sorry about the blurry photo. It’s a lucky thing my secret superpower is Googling.

Isn’t that a beautiful photograph? It makes me feel even more excited for the day I’m going to be looking down this aisle at the love of my life, surrounded by our family and friends. This area is so gorgeous already that we didn’t feel like it needed much decorating. The tentative plan is to hang big bunches of baby’s breath along the aisle, keeping it loose and ethereal. Simple and sweet.

This next room is the one that I’m a tad more nervous about.

First, let me say that this is a GREAT rec area for a church. It’s shiny, new, and so spacious. I’ve heard that the sound is also really amazing in here. But it doesn’t look like a reception area…yet. We’ve planned for an evening reception that’s mostly candlelit. As the ceiling is quite high, we’re hoping that the darkness keeps all of the bars up there obscured. Mr. Crepe thinks that we can transform the space with strung lights and fabric. I hope he’s right! I’ve never had to think about decorating a space this large and, honestly, it’s scaring me a bit. On the plus side, the space is very modern and an excellent blank slate. But where exactly to start? Oy.

Did you have to play interior designer for your reception? How did you do it?
