so FH and i talked today and we are keeping our date!! i'm so happy that i dont have to basically start over!!
other great news is my parents went to a wedding and they gave my parents all of the big ivory ribbon bows (for the church pews) for free!!! i'm so excited because this saves me a lot of money and a lot of time (one less thing i have to make)!!! my mom also said that they had these beautiful candelabras that were gold and red (my colors) that my mom is going to ask if we can rental them from these freinds. i guess they bought them, becuase it was cheaper then renting. they had them on 1/2 of there tables (so they have about 25 of them!! so i'm hoping they will let me use them!!!
I think the picture i found is what they look like, but my mom said they look more red (not amber like in this picture) and so did my aunt. even if they are orange i can put some red flowers around the base and some red candles maybe too. :-D hope i can get them!!
Do you all think i should have my mom ask about them, even though my colors are red, gold, ivory, and white; not amber?
do you think if i add red flowers and red candles it would make it pretty or should i go to a craft store and buy a few red jewles to add to it?
UPDATE: so my mom called yesterday and she said we could rent them from her, but really didnt say how much she wanted us to rent them for.....(my mom is horrible at asking people for things, she almost always backs down). anyways i guess the family friend said she just needed to organize everything and she would get back with us. I hope she does get back with us. and doesnt take to long....wish me luck this would be a big money saver depending on how much she has us rent them for!
I think you should ask about them. It might not even be a noticeable thing with dim lights.
they had about 40 tables (maybe more) so i'm hoping for about 13 of each. 9 of each for the tables and the other for decoration of the head table, guest book/ card table, and maybe one in each bathroom! but we will see. dont want to count my chickens before they hatch; i dont even know if she will let us use them!
