Florists, DJs and Event Designers.. oh my

I love french anemone flowers and just wanted to throw them up here.

I am still looking into florists as well as a lighting designer and a DJ. I have decided to work with Erin at Exclusive Events. She is going to put together an amazing cluster of paper lanterns over our dance floor for the reception. I am pretty excited about it. I really wanted paper lanterns at the reception and I have been thinking about how empty and open the space feels. I think this is going to help make the space feel a lot more intimate as well as add a fun element to dance under and photograph.

Reception Decor, Part I

Here are some images of reception decor for the tables that we are liking. I love natural grass. I have been considering walking down the aisle of the garden at mobot with no shoes. Nothing beats the feeling of soft, spring grass under your feet after a long cold winter of constant shoe-wearing. Plus, there is just something poetic about it to me. Not to mention, heels on grass sounds like a nightmare. Doug and I have already discussed a converse wedding =]

Back to the decor, I also love introducing wood into the space through things like little flower boxes, and of course, tons and tons of candles. We are also leaning towards warmer shades like oranges, whites, grass greens (through natural stems and grass), browns (through wood and stationary), and maybe a touch of yellow. These colors are very spring like unlike the tiffany blue/seafoam color I was originally thinking. I had also thought about branches, but doing more thinking has lead me to believe that look may feel too fall for a spring wedding.

Best Wedding Cake Ever

All I can say is wow! I can't believe having a cake made that looks just like me never crossed my mind. HAHAH.. Seriously though, this image has been shown to me twice now, and I just had to throw it up here.
