Wedding Sneak Peak: Table Decorations

Moving-in clutter out and wedding preparation clutter in.
Everyone is asking me what I am doing for centerpieces since I am doing them myself and not hiring a florist to do the work. Like I have mentioned before, I want to keep a bit of a mystery surrounding the wedding decor, but here are some snapshots to intrigue you.

My wedding color palette is pretty clean & simple and the best way to show off the vibrant yellow and blue hues is to set it against white. I was able to find these "Johnathan Adler" looking white ceramic vases in 2 different sizes at Michaels, and they were discounted 40% off! However, I had to hunt them all down at 5-6 different retail locations.

These are the Adler vases that I am referring to on the tan background. See the similarity; unlike Adler's, my vases are much, much cheaper. ;) After the wedding is all said and done, I plan on selling these on Ebay so someone else can use them for their special function.

Are you all wondering why is there a birdcage and blue birds on my dining table? Well, this all plays into the fun, rustic-nature inspired theme that are seen on my wedding invites. Just wait and see how they are utilized!

Manzanita Branches – gotta lov'em

I believe I have mentioned before that I was creating/constructing my wedding centerpieces. And I am sure you are all curious what must I be doing if I am doing it myself. We are going to have fresh florals, but it's not the main attraction. The focal point for most tables will be Manzanita branches!

When I saw these, I knew I had to follow through with them. Plus, they fit exactly with my wedding inspiration moodboard that I collaged several months back. A wedding that is classic, rustic and simply fun!

Manzanita branches can be seen as structural pieces of art, and you can embellish them with sooo many fun details – flowers, hanging beads or spray paint them. Just look at the range seen here. I see drama with its height and bold, powerful color. What more could you want for a centerpiece.



So Yes I will be using Manzanita branches for our main centerpiece, and No you won't be able to see it until the day of. I have to keep some of the excitement and not give it all away. I can't wait to see the final product too.
