Detail posts are always my most favorite part of recaps, and I hope you enjoy the little details at our wedding.

Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. High Wire and I enjoyed a little private photo shoot in the gardens. At the same time, the guests were directed over to our reception tent to enjoy a cold drink.

I found these wonderful chalkboard signs for a really cheap price at a local flea market. Trying to do these DIY would have cost more.

Our reception tent served as a welcome respite from the heat of the day, but once the sun went down, the tent was the perfect temperature all night.

The chandeliers in the tent used to be large brass light fixtures that I didn’t care for. Luckily, the chandeliers were updated and replaced the day before our wedding. I like these much better!

The guys worked tirelessly to hang these paper lanterns all over the tent. I loved how they came out! Here’s another good lantern/chandelier shot from a little later in the evening.

My sweet mother-in-law prepared a few extra beverages for everyone to enjoy in these adorable pitchers.

I found a few vintage signs at that same flea market and had them placed around the tent where they belonged.

And we made sure there were was lots of choices in terms of alcoholic beverages.

Beer

Frozen margaritas

And bar tenders to mix drinks on the open bar all night long.

There was also lots of yummy food!

The frame that held our menu was another flea market find. I think I paid $1 for it.

Blue Mesa’s food was outstanding! They even packed us up all the leftovers and sent it home with us after the wedding.

Throughout the planning process, I picked up little odds and ends for the kids’ table as well as the rest of the reception tables.

I found these adorable bee salt and pepper shakers and knew they had to make an appearance at the wedding: Weddingbee shout out!

It was so nice to see all the knick knacks that I had collected on display at the wedding. Each table was a little different.

For our desserts, we had wedding cake, a groom’s cake, and the venue supplied a candy buffet.

The candy buffet also served as our favors for the evening. There were small boxes that guests could load up their candy in to take home.

I also collected wedding photos of family members that we put on display at the entrance to the reception tent.

This is one of my most favorite pictures of the whole night. It was so amazing to have all of my loved ones under one tent!
