…Mr. Pony will buy me another diamond ring? Not how that goes? Darn.

A couple of weeks ago, I pulled out all the stuff we’ll need to complete a mock up of the tables for our reception. I’ve had this vision in my mind for well over a year, but never actually put everything together myself so I was nervous it would look terrible and I would need to come up with a new plan less than two months before the wedding.

I found a white tablecloth we had lying around, our mirrors, green vases, milk glass, candles, succulents, a cheap bunch of red flowers from the supermarket, napkins, and some glassware to complete the look. The only thing I forgot was our table letters, but I was done taking pictures by the time I remembered them and I didn’t want to go through the hassle of finding them and retaking pictures.

With all of that gathered, this is what I came up with:

Trying out different napkin styles—not sure which I like best

I tested out three different styles of milk glass to see what looks best.

As a side note, isn’t it a great idea that I decided to hire a florist? Yes, yes I think so.

These pictures also feature a vase that wasn’t captured in my post on our vases because after this it was placed in our fridge to make sure Pony kitty doesn’t eat the flowers (he loves eating flowers) and I forgot about it when I pictured all the other vases.

All in all, I am very happy with the direction of our table mock ups, but I feel like something is missing. Since we are having a buffet, I figured the plates would be set at the front of the buffet table, but now I’m worried we don’t have enough on the tables to really make an impact. The flowers will be much fuller, which will add some impact, but it’s hard for me to visualize whether it will be enough.

I tend to over think things though, so I’m leaving it to you bees to tell me what you think: would you change anything? Will our tables look bare and sad or am I worrying over nothing?
