Today’s Topic of Importance: Linens

November 11th, 2008 @ 10:31 am by Mrs. Lemonade

I’m currently debating the necessity of fancy linens. Our venue will provide ivory or white tablecloths (that do not go all the way to the floor… what is up with that?!) and ivory or white napkins. I’m down with the ivory napkins, but I don’t think I can get behind the shortie tablecloths.

I really like the idea of champagne pintucked satin or ivory dupioni silk.

The Importance of Glassware?

October 22nd, 2008 @ 1:29 pm by Ms Fondue

We had our follow-up meeting with our venue, Ravenwood, last weekend to finally get my list of questions answered. So what did we find out?

  • We can turn the girls’ getting-ready room into a babysitting room for the reception.
  • They have high chairs, but no booster seats, so I need to rent those.
  • Waitstaff costs are built into the food price. (Score!)
  • We can decorate the day before.
  • They don’t…

I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…

The Infamous Gold Charger

August 24th, 2008 @ 10:24 am by Mrs. Champagne

There’s one wedding item that has been surprisingly REALLY difficult to find~ a gold charger that doesn’t cost a fortune. Even more difficult to find than the dress! Sounds silly, I know, but it’s true.We’ll be renting our linens and plates from Alpine Party Rentals in Colorado, and their options for gold chargers are in the typical range for rentals.

Phillips Winery About Me: Hi, I'm Miss Pomegranate and I'm a shopaholic. I have a weak spot for the chic cheap - especially anything I can re-create on the DIY. Shoes are my vice, music is my passion in life and technology is the medium by which I live and work.

Fun With Floating Table Numbers

July 15th, 2008 @ 3:30 pm by Mrs. Pomegranate

I had been toying with ideas for our table numbers for quite some time and had rested somewhere between letting our pup and kitty handle the task or finding something more stylistically simple. Serving family style platters at dinner will take up a lot of table real estate, so I needed something that wouldn’t use up a lot of space. I wasn’t 100% sold on…

A Piece of Chandelier For You

July 14th, 2008 @ 3:52 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

A while back I was debating what style of escort card we should have. I went with the majority of your suggestions and went the glamour option. Since chandeliers seemed to be a very big part of our theme, I decided to go with something like the left picture below.

I didn’t take any pictures of my escort cards in progress since I had to finish them…

As some of you may recall, I’m drawing our table number cards to fit in with our bird theme. I haven’t numbered this set yet because I won’t be sure of how many tables we’ll need until we receive our RSVP’s, so some of the drawings that I’m not as fond of will go into a pile of misfit bird drawings that I won’t end…

Mr. Daffodil and I met in our college fellowship group and were "just friends" for three years before we started dating. We've been together for four years now and can't wait to get married in sunny SoCal, Mr. Daffodil's hometown.
About Mrs. Daffodil

Believe it or not, I was never one who had thought too much about my wedding before I had gotten engaged.  Never thought about my e-ring, never thought about my dress, never thought about the theme.  But there was one random thing I did think about prior to getting engaged. Don’t laugh, but that one aspect was what our table names might be! I know, RANDOM,…

I devote almost as much time researching my for fantasy football team as researching for our wedding!

Paper Stuff!

Miss Toucan’s been a busy busy bird, so I’m lumping some of my paper projects together in one post!

First - Table cards:

Since poor Mr. Toucan hasn’t had very much say in some of the wedding details, so he named all the tables. And wouldn’t you know it - Nintendo characters! The table cards themselves aren’t that exciting - I just printed out pictures of each character…

Table Runner Update

June 5th, 2008 @ 4:18 pm by Mrs. Sundae

As I mentioned before, Mama Sundae and I decided to make the table runners she’s making look more “finished” with something black around the edges. She tested a few different types of ribbon as well as some bias tape, and the bias tape won out in both look and convenience. I didn’t know anything about this when I started out, so I thought I would pass…

Nothing fancy schmancy but we needed table numbers for the Chinese banquet and wanted one that could give us space to write each guest’s name at each table, stood on its own, and showed the number. But I couldn’t find a simple tri-fold template online that I could use and make easily, so I created my own and it’s shared here for you all!!

Mini Menus and DIY To-Do’s!

May 30th, 2008 @ 1:20 pm by Mrs. Cream Puff

A couple of weeks ago, I had a bit of a conundrum: I couldn’t figure out whether or not to have menus. After reading everyone’s comments, I decided that I would do menus, but only if it were as simple as humanly possible, didn’t stress me out, and didn’t disrupt my very simple looking place setting. Here’s what I came up with:

Time consuming unnecessary DIY project #428: Menus

I bought all the materials I was going to need for some cute little menus to fold in each of our guests’ napkins. I took inspiration from my friend Andrea over at Studio Ayt, who made these incredible “cutout” menus for her own wedding last year.
