Indoor/Outdoor (210)

Outdoor weddings and receptions are so incredibly popular right now. Who gets married in a church? I've been looking around online trying to find some good pictures of indoor receptions and weddings to get an idea of how I can set things up, but every single picture I find that I like is outside! Don't get me wrong, I love outdoor weddings - in fact, I think I would have loved to have one if our wedding was in May or June - but I want inspiration for an INDOOR wedding...hmph.

Rectangular tables (221)

It's not that I have anything against round tables, but I don't understand why everyone uses them. I find rectangular tables to be more space efficient, easier to sit at and easier to set.

Cuteness :) (226)

I love tiny things :) I wonder how much it would cost to make these teeny tiny place card holder thing-a-ma-jigs? I'm sure we could put them together, and they would make a great favor...but I'm not sure if I really want to make 500+ of them.

Centerpieces :) (257)

I love Kristen Nupson. She found these adorable centerpieces and sent me a link :) 

More Prettiness (268)

I can't remember if I posted this picture yet or not - I had it saved on my computer. I just love how low and simple it is. It looks like people can carry on a conversation over it AND it's gorgeous :)

Cupcake Bar (269)

Adorable idea. These are the cupcakes and then there is a ton of different syrups, berries, candies, nuts, sprinkles - whatever! Each guest gets a cuppycake and then they can put whatever they want on it. YUMMY!

Kuchkovskiy Wedding! (273)

Today, two of my good friends, Nina Stankevich and Vitaliy Kuchkovskiy were married. It was such a beautiful wedding! I have to admit that I was taking notes the entire time. ;) I think that the most helpful thing for me was to see the order of service. I really want to have a worship service and communion, but I wasn't sure where to put it in the ceremony. They also had their reception in the gym at church (I'll be doing that as well for both receptions) so it was nice to see how they decorated it. It was very simple, but very elegant as well. I forgot that I was in a gym which is exactly what I'm going for. What a wonderful wedding! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Kuchkovskiy!

Chairs (274)

The right chairs improve the look of a reception by at least 300%. Call me picky, but I really, really really want black bamboo chairs at both of my receptions instead of the ugly putty colored folding chairs.  Which chair would you rather sit in? Seems like an easy choice to me. I thought that they would be way out of our price range, but they average about $1.25 a piece. I think it's worth it. For sure.  

Good chair. 

    Icky chair. 

More Yummy (276)

All this Thanksgiving talk is getting me thinking about foooooood :) Yum! I want some of these at the reception for sure.
