For a bit of fun during the reception, we ordered a piñata from our WC. I would never have imagined that almost 30 adults would scramble for candy with as much enthusiasm as they did!
We ordered a two tier wedding cake with one layer chocolate and the other hazelnut from our WC. I bought goldy 2 inch ribbon from Fabricland. I ordered gumpaste cake seashells from the following website: http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/flowers/Gumpaste-Edible/gumpaste-edible.htm. The girls from Lollipop Workshop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/lollipopworkshop) did a wonderful job in making us a customized cake topper! My FI and I like to play a lot of Scrabble, so he made a LOVE sign using Scrabble tiles.
We ordered individual menus, again from The Paper Tree. For the backs of my groom’s and my chairs, I ordered Senor and Senora signs, which we were able to customize with our colours, from wedology on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/wedology).
At each place setting, we indicated the type of meal with a different coloured rhinestone sticker. I bought shell card holders from Fairyfolk Weddings (http://www.etsy.com/shop/FairyfolkWeddings).
For our table numbers, we asked The Paper Tree to write the numbers in Spanish. I added rhinestone stickers and put them into gold frames. At each table we placed a wedding I Spy card. I bought the file from Lindsey Shepherd from Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/LAShepherd). My groom printed them onto cardstock and made them into standable cards. We purchased white disposable cameras with flash from www.weddingscenter.com.
My inspiration for centerpieces was a vase containing manzanita tree branches with candles hanging from them with candles surrounding the arrangement. I ordered the branches (they didn’t end up being manzanita, but whatever they provided ended up looking nice as well) from my WC. My aunt initially found an assortment of crystals at a garage sale. I searched the internet for a while before finding real crystals at a good price from a Canadian chandelier replacement parts company, Luce Crystal (http://www.lucecrystal.ca/) – such a lucky and great find!
We decided on ivory natural beeswax candles for our guest favours. Jan Hunter is Canadian and has her own company, Bee Happy Candles & Creations (http://beehappycandles.com/). She does great work and included a little card with each candle set, which had information on beeswax as well as she printed our monogram on it for free. We made a favour table sign and also put it into a gold frame.
