We'll be getting married Thanksgiving weekend and though we're kind of cutting it close, I still consider it an autumn wedding. For that reason, I'm starting to give some thought to our reception-area decoration. Got any cute ideas? I'd love to see what ya'll have done or found (it's a Renaissance-period theme, if that makes any difference. I dun ( Read more... )

Has anyone dealt with centerpieces being taken after the wedding ( Read more... )

Hi All ( Read more... )

When addressing my fall invitation envelopes would it be tacky to use red ink? Or should I just do them in black ink?? I put a picture of the invites under the cut too. :)

We've been working on a centerpiece idea for awhile. We bought the vases several months ago but have been looking at different flowers since we've using fake flowers. Its much easier on our budget and we'll be able to pre-assemble them ourselves the week before.
