Wedding Decoration
More centerpieces!! :)

Well, after being super nervous about getting everything done on time, my mother came over on Sunday and spent the night and helped me get a lot done!! Thank you mom!!! We finished all of the floral centerpieces and have 2 of the branch ones done. We are going to have every other table flowers and every other table branches. We also finished our head table decorations & guest album area things. WOO HOO! We have been making bows all night for the programs and today I am going to cut the material for them and make bouquets. Feeling much more relaxed now that everything will get finished in time. :) - Not the greatest pics.

I really love the idea of mixing up the centerpieces, we did this and I think the guests appreciated having different things to look at! It added some dimension to the room as well because some were tall and some were short.

You sound like you are getting everything done and its great that you have help from family! I did NOT feel at all relaxed the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding, everything was so overwhelming so congrats to you!

Aww thanks Chelsea, that made me smile! :) I would have loved to do all the branches, but we have to cement them in or they were top heavy and the cost of the branches was adding up so it just seemed like it would end up being too much for us doing 25 tables.
Laurie88 - my mom coming to help was because I was about to have a panic attack looking at the countdown on here. :) I'm sure as it gets even closer I will feel panic all over again. I keep thinking I'm going to forget to bring stuff with to the hotel the night before and not have time to go home and get it or the reception hall is going to put things in the wrong place. I made them picture diagrams tho so..... Nino thinks thats a little over kill but I'd rather be over prepaired. lol

I lovvvvvvve the branch one too!!!
You and your Mamma did a great job, I think they look beautiful and mixing up the centerpieces will totally give the room more dimensions> i read an article that said if you go high and low then it's more appealing to the eye then uniform lines.

Congrats on a job well done!

Thanks Soon2beakatieg. :)
I think she is sick of wedding stuff. Today is her last day here. 4 days of non stop wedding making has made us both crazy and way to tired. lol. But we also managed to finish the card box, 4 picture frames that I am going to have in places, a birdcage that we added flowers and family wedding pics to and the guest picture book area. Branches and bouquets are only 2 things left and I told my friends if I start to add any more projects to come and smack me. :)

LOL! You must share pics of all your DIY stuff. I love the creative vibe of WBC. I of course lack the DIY but seeing what other people come up with is so much fun. PS - lovvvvve the tree stump cake.

Thanks! Its different and I wasn't sure how people would feel about the cake but in the end I think its our wedding and a non traditional cake makes it that much more us. :)
