four hundred fifty nine

okay bear with me, certain things about this wedding planning make me extremely excited, but i realize that sometimes to you, they are the most boring thing ever. well today's post might just put you in a stupor, realizing that, i apologize up front and ask you to again, bear with me.

centerpieces....duhn duhn duhhhhhhhn (i warned you), i have officially chosen four centerpieces to alternate between the many tables at the reception. one of which will be your home base for the evening. not wanting to spoil the surprise completely i have sketched them out for you.

one will be a lantern, another will be an iron work scroll thing that holds votives, the third one will be this charming little reminds-me-of-a-milk-jug vase that will hold roses, and the last one will be a tall elegant vase that holds some sort of amazing flower....yep this is what i am so very excited about. but the thing that makes me even more stoked about these centerpieces, is the most wonderful deal i got at joanne's fabric for votive holders and candles. seriously i ended up walking out of there with 72 glass votive holders and 96 candles! this probably doesn't get a hallelujah chorus but it still made my day.

getting ideas by randomly grabbing photos from sites like 'the knot' and simple google image searches i am slowly building up the style I envision for myself. granted some of these photos are a bit over the top in elegance, but ideally i would have that same 'feel' in a much more budgeted manner.
