Some cake table goodness from the wedding I was in this weekend.

wedding overload

Heather — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 17:15:11 +0000

I have had google reader for over a year now (I know, I was totally late to that party) and all the while I star things I like so that I can go back in later to either blog about them or use them for myself. Well it is of no surprise that this once wedding-centered blog has morphed into more of a baby blog as that is what is on my mind most of the time (btw, I am due in 4 days! yikes!!) Sooooo, I went through all of my starred posts and took out the wedding ones and have compiled them all into one big wedding extravaganza for you! I know, very exciting. Although my wedding was a year and a half ago my very good friend Natalie is getting married in June, and on top of that, well, weddings are just fun to look at. Here are some images that I found fun to look at over the last year:

(fun table assignments)

(fun table numbers)

(fun food cart action)

(fun dessert table)

(super fun altar)

(fun signage)

(fun {more like gorgeous} table scape)

new idea

Heather — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:10:37 +0000

I have never seen this idea before and I love it! Ring boxes as place cards!!

A quick Google search led me to some cheap ring boxes here, here and here.

tables

Thank you all for answering my questions! It was really interesting to see that photography came out on top as the thing everyone was glad they splurged on or wished they would have splurged on. We put so much effort and emotion into this one day and all you have for the rest of your life are the pictures! And although our photographer gave us a great deal, we still spent 1/5 of our small budget on those photos and I wouldn’t trade that for anything! So again, thanks for sharing ladies!!

On to this morning’s topic: tables! Here are a few that I am currently loving for a rustic wedding.

I love the idea of supplementing with candles. Great way to save money!

One day away from Friday…

I have been eating a lot of peaches lately, which makes me love this centerpiece/favor idea.

Monday’s and thumbprints

Heather — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 03:06:26 +0000

Does anyone else need another weekend? I do. Oh well, what can you do?

On to a happier topic, weddings! I have seen a new version of the guestbook popping up here and there and I wanted to get your opinion on it. It is the family tree/thumbprint version. Here are a few images I recently saw:

Did any of you do this at your wedding? Thinking about doing it? Been to a wedding that did it? It is super cute, and I am all for the guest books that you can frame! Obviously you would need to provide some type of wipe for guests, and make sure there are enough branches… but overall it seems like a great idea!

What do you think?

rustic

Heather — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:06:05 +0000

Love the rustic look of this wedding! Especially the wood table sans table cloth.

(I almost didn’t post these because I can’t remember where I got them. If you know who posted these first, please let me know so that I can credit them! Via! Thanks Evie!)

Wedding Activity Booklet – FREE Download

Heather — Tue, 04 May 2010 15:59:58 +0000

I have (finally) put up a free download of my activity books for those who are interested! You can find it by visiting my downloads page, located on the left. I created a generic color palette and pages for the free download, but would be happy to customize it with your name and wedding date on the cover as well as your colors and for the less DIY brides I can create, print and finish them all for you. Please contact me at heather {at} wemetinabar {dot} com for pricing and more information.

Enjoy!
