@Tori- I like to sand/seashell idea too. The stones are nice, but definitely too dark. I think sand will help with the shells, and it will be a nice anchor if it's windy. What are your colors? My only worry is that I see no color in the centerpieces, but then again, I have no idea what the rest of your accents are, and you don't want to overkill the color scheme. I definitely love the votives around it. The height is great because it makes it formal without being....bushy. I hate when I go to weddings and I can't see the person sitting across from me And lastly, it is, of course, very beachy, and it fits perfectly with the open air location. Did you glue on the little seashells, or did it come like that? Thanks for sharing!
