Table Notes

Always sweet to get notes from your guests, and what better way than a notebook right on their table? They can make entries at their leisure and the books will be a fabulous keepsake, not to mention a great way to number/ name your tables!

[again from Once Wed, and their DIY projects]

Blang BLANG!

A BRILLIANT idea- rock candy bling! A great, inexpensive, creative, and eye-appealing idea from Once Wed.

And here's a little Rock Candy: 101 from Ask.com

Focus of Attention

TheKnot.com has an interesting array of photographs from real weddings; while browsing through I came across some insiprational centerpices and outdoor decor. Sicne our reception will be outdoors, a focus has been to make good use of the space in a clean, minimalist way.

A pineapple centerpiece with candle holders down a long table.
Never woulda thought... So Hawaii!

Love this fishbowl centerpice with starfish and candles. Feels clean and beachy.

Silk flowers in a fishbowl, simplistic but classic. See below for a twist.

The drowned flower look is so interesting, especially if you can make use of floating candles.

Another perk? Silk flowers submerge beautifully, and its tricky to tell when they're under water! A good way to cut costs

Palm fronds and fans in the canopy. Another touch of Hawaii that I love. A good way to spruce up an outside space, as well.

Wooden letters from any craft store, suspended with ribbons. Can be painted in your colors, left plain for a woodsy feel, whatever.

A tricky idea for outdoors but cute enough to include nontheless- a bead curtain of tiny mirrors and photos.

The little things....

Some cutesy details..

from Crybabyink, personalized cork place card holders

And completely un-wedding related, but another cute as heck idea from crybabyink- creative uses for interesting swatchs of fabric. On top, original 1 yard piece of fabric. On bottom, fabric + canvas + staple gun = unique wall art

I think I just found the next project for an artsy kick. Just not so orange...

V is for Vegetable

{rity bee} , a fab new find for me, has the cutest idea on their Details: a- z page today:

Veggies as decoration!

Its weird in that chic kinda way weird things can be fabulous. Would be great for a fall wedding.
