In the thick of wedding planning, I had this idea. An idea that involved blues and your-grandma’s-favorite-floral tablecloths and mismatched black wrought iron. Also: big, rectangular tables. And round tables too. And all sorts of other stuff that made sense in my head. Some people questioned my garbled ideas, and, really, I can’t blame them. This post is the amalgam of Cath Kidston-inspired fabric, bibliophilia, and…well, basically this is what the fanciest part of my brain looks like.

Though I do enjoy narrating, I think I’ll mostly just grand marshal my own little picture parade. Cue trombones.

The rectangular tables had solid blue tablecloths, floral arrangements of anemone, peony, roses and hydrangea in glass pedestals, and various black wrought iron candle-holders that I collected.

Those banquet tables were framed by rounds on either side, which had floral tablecloths and no floral arrangements.

Plus taupe napkins.

We also chose a floral tablecloth for our sweetheart table.

And, just for fun, the cake table:

Aaaand scene. Anyone else have a slightly-odd vision that panned out precisely how they hoped?

P.S. - I can’t believe I only have a few more recaps! Times flies when you’re procrastinating real life tasks by blogging.
