All Wedding, All The Time

And the wedding planning continues!  Here are some things that have piqued my interest for the reception decor.  I want to keep it classic and uncluttered.  
  
I totally dig the essence, simplicity and color scheme of this idea board.

I totally went gaga over every invitation design on this website.  If only I had budgeted for $10 per invitation!  Yikesies, that is outrageous!

After a great deal of thought I decided that it would be best to avoid using flowers for decor. They are pricey, a wee bit too delicate, and would require a great deal of time for set-up on the day of the wedding.  (Who wants to be stuck at the venue, fussing with DIY floral arrangements, when you could be drinking wine with the gals and having a pedicure?  Not I!)

I'm thinking of using candles and olive branches.  Don't worry.  It's going to look fabulous!  Maybe I'll do like Martha Stewart and DIY some faux mercury glass hurricane lanterns.

I think olive branches have the most lovely silvery green color and I can't wait to use them everywhere.  Ok, not everywhere.

Another option would be to DIY some airy, perforated metal hurricane lanterns for the centerpieces.

What can't you do with awesome paper fans?!

I'm a little more than obsessed with lavender and must find a way to incorporate a few potted plants!  Personally, I think a little purple makes everything better.

What's a wedding reception without paper pompoms?
