Tiramisu Table Numbers

May 27th, 2008 @ 2:18 pm by Mrs. Tiramisu

A lot of ideas have passed through my little head about table numbers. For a long time I wanted to do photos of Mr. T and I at the age that corresponded to the number of the table, like this gorgeous example. When those photos proved hard to track down (Mr. Tiramisu is one of five… it’s tricky to dig through so many piles of…

The Unveiling of My Centerpiece

May 19th, 2008 @ 2:43 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

Like I had mentioned in my previous post, Mr. Flamingo and I wanted some type of chandelier on a stand for our centerpieces, but we didn’t want to make a big hole in our budget. While shopping for the holidays, I suddenly had this “AWWWWWWWW” moment - and I apologize because I never showed you what that AWWW piece was.

Well without further ado here it…

Escort Wine Charms

May 16th, 2008 @ 5:23 pm by Mrs. Penguin

Taking gobs of inspiration from two of the most talented gals around, Huckleberry Karen and Lisa at Bellissima Vita, I sat down last night to make our escort cards that will tell guests where they are seated and also serve as wine charms for folks to keep track of their wine glasses.

The inspiration:

Oh, Escort Cards…

May 15th, 2008 @ 4:52 pm by Mrs. Sundae

They completely stump me. I’ve gotten as far as deciding that we’re going to only do table assignments, not individual seats. Mama Sundae is making a runner for the escort card table (which will be a 6ft table) so we’ve got that covered. I know where the table will be placed in the tent. I’ve even found a calligrapher to write each card for a…

Menus?!

Things I have had to deal with:

Tables Need To Dress Up Too…

May 3rd, 2008 @ 10:28 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

When I checked out our venue we only had one option for our table linens - white tablecloth with a classic ivory overlay. At first I thought it was fine. Ivory matched our wedding colors, but having a white tablecloth, ivory overlay, ivory napkin and white plates… I have a feeling it might look washed out.  So now I’m looking for table covers to add that extra…

All of This for a Stand?

April 30th, 2008 @ 5:46 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

Working on all of the little details for our wedding is turning out to be WAY more difficult then searching for vendors. Right now I’m on the hunt for 8-9″ black table stands. I don’t want anything fancy or theme related. Just some decent, plain looking stands. So far, these options are the only two that I’ve come up with (found at Food Service Direct):

A Table…

April 30th, 2008 @ 4:48 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

As time passes, I seem to change my mind on what I want to do for the table numbers. At first Mr. Flamingo had suggested having vintage movie posters, but I soon realized that they could be very complicated and hard to understand. First off, if the guests don’t know the movie specifically, they will need to search to find the actual title on the poster. In…

The Venue Walkthrough

April 28th, 2008 @ 4:59 pm by Mrs. Cream Puff

On Friday, I met with our event coordinator again to go through our venue and decide about important things. Namely, we discussed how many tables we would need and where to put them. I’m not very happy about how many tables we will have. Not happy at all.

For some reason, I thought we would be having 10 people at each table. That means 15 tables,…

Table Mockups

We headed up to Wisconsin last weekend to test drive the design for the tables, and it went better than expected!

The runner now has a black border on one side - my Mom used both satin ribbon and bias tape (you can…

The Table!

April 23rd, 2008 @ 2:13 pm by Mrs. Cream Puff

When people ask me what our color scheme is and I tell them, “lots of colors!” they usually give me the same doubtful look. Sometimes the look is followed by a statement like, “usually we recommend that you stick with one or two main colors…” I generally shrug and say, “yeah, that’s okay. I’m not doing that.”
