Hooray for reception decorations!

Mom and I met with the florist a couple weeks ago and, let me tell you, she has some awesome ideas. I am very excited to see how it all comes together!

On half of the tables, she will doing a floral arrangement...complete with grapevine balls and pheasant feathers (LOVE IT). On the other half of the tables, we will have wooden lanterns similar to this with grapevines and a few flowers:


My task was to find candles for the tables as well as for inside the lanterns. Enter the bargain hunter side of Taryn. I managed to stumble across Candles 4 Less and bought 72 (yes, 72!) votive candles and holders for $37! They will be perfect for adding "twinkle" to the reception tables. :) If you're looking for cheap candles, be sure to head over to Candles 4 Less!

Centerpieces

Next task...the centerpieces. Again, I searched The Knot for inspiration. My plan is to have 1/2 of the table with floral arrangements. I'm not sure what to do with the other 1/2. Any suggestions?

Flowers (Inspiration)

I love Fall...and I love Fall colors. Because of this, I decided on deep red and gold with chocolate brown accents as my colors. After hours upon hours of browsing through flowers/bouquets on The Knot, I started saving the ones that appealed to me the most. Let me know what you think. :)
