Time to share all of the little details that I put a lot of thought and hard work in to! Our seating chart was one of the first things our guests saw as they came upstairs. I still love the idea that we came up with:
Our guest book sign in a simple frame from IKEA with one of my favourite milk glass vases.
We didn’t have a slideshow but I did put out a couple baby photos of the two of us.
Our upstairs reception room at the Brock House. We fit the maximum number of people in there that we could—50 people in the main room and six people with a photo booth in a connected room. I loved the fireplaces, the beautiful molding, the chiavari chairs…
We kept the decor very simple with our zinc letters, photo frames and milk glass bud vases.
I wasn’t too concerned about keeping up our purple theme for the flowers in the bud vases, I was more interested in keeping them inexpensive. The day before the wedding my girlfriends and I went to Costco to raid the roses in the flower department. The flowers there are great quality and a great value.
Our bouquets rested in larger vases on the head table.
For the wee ones I left a colouring book with stickers and crayons at their seat.
Our favours of Russian Earl Grey loose leaf tea with homemade shortbread cookies rested on our guests’ bread plates.
I made a sign pointing the way to our photo booth with the free download from The Wedding Chicks.
Our cake topper was so adorable.
I loved our wedding cake which was exactly as I envisioned.
I gasped when I saw our reception room. It was just as I hoped it would be.
Did your reception space come together just like you imagined it?

I’m still so smitten with your seating chart and how it carried through to the reception, so perfect! Just love detail posts 
I’m in love with pretty much everything you’ve shown here. I can’t believe those roses are from Costco! The cake, the favours… perfection.
Oh my goodness I am in love with your cake! And the flowers from Costco? So simple and beautiful!
I’m with @Miss Dragon — loving pretty much everything! The letters… the roses in milk glass… love! One question: your sign for your guest book – please tell me that’s not your handwriting, and if not, what font did you use??
I love the ampersand-I have been on the hunt for one to use at our wedding and haven’t had any luck! Where did you find yours and is it metal? Thanks!
@Miss_Manda: Sadly my handwriting is not that neat and pretty! I found this font for free from Font for Peas and it is Pea Aimee (http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/pea-aimee/).

It is backordered online but you can call their customer service to find out if any stores have it in stock. You can then get the store to send it out to you. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions on the process!
I’m using the same Photobooth sign, it’s SO perfect and I love that you can customize your colors. I was going to order flowers online from Costco but i didn’t need so many 
i will be raiding my Costco for roses and crossing my fingers for gerbera daisies before i check our grocery store floral depts.
Beautiful! The reception room decor is so classy and pretty
So beautiful! Your seating chart is my favorite, so cute!
That cake is to die for. So pretty. I love your reception venue. It looks beautiful.
I love detail posts! Awesome details, especially love your seating chart and that beautiful cake!
