Trish you are on a roll! The votive holders are way cute. I need to get started on my fans too. I better get moving. It is one of those projects I am not looking forward to. Looks very tedious.

Trish,

what fans are/did you order? I just ordered some,about 40, I think I posted the link for them a few pages back. BTW, what colors are you using? I love the votives and think they would work great. I've been looking for inspiration pics to use so I'll know exactly what I want to do. I've decided to use fuschia/orange instead of mocha/lilac. It just seems more festive. I found some ball lantern thingies on one of the websites I've been searching on. I wasn't sure how many either. Maybe we can decide and I can order some too.

I ordered the bamboo fans...I have NO idea what they are called, they are different then the ones you ordered Brooke. The kind that are kind of heart shaped with the loop handle....crap..sorry!

 

I love the votives..I ordered 15 of each...I'm probably only having 5 tables at the most...so I figured 6 on each....I'm going to use both on every table..just alternating 3 + 3..hope that makes sense..

I was also thinking of getting some different antique vases and just FILLING them with roses (different colors). I saw a picture where the roses were completely submerged in water and then overflowed out of the vase...that's what I'm going for. Then i just have my table numbers with my PUG on them...I need a phot holder for that though...hmm...

 

 

I do have to change plans from ordering the lantern things though Brooke...Trav mentioned that if we end up getting put in the banquet room it wouldn't be worth it. So I'm holding out until I hear back from Landy!

 

Another thing I did last night though,

I went through all my Bridal Magazines and ripped out all the pages I had dog eared (b/c I always forget what mag...what page) and put them in piles based on :makeup, hair, accessories, cakes, flowers, and decorations.

 

I did come across a BEAUTIFUL pair of starfish sandals...the starfish kind of looked liked your pin Brooke...but thought it would look awesome with anyone who was doing a Starfish theme..if you girls are interested I send out the designer and price!

Good call on the lanterns Trish, I didn't even think about that. If you don't get the SG, where were you going to do the dinner/reception? I was thinking of the other place,EL Patio?...or the beach dinner. I really don't want to have it inside in the ballroom.

I was doing the exact same think with tearing out pages from all of my bride magazines...it helps me get a mental image of everything, other wise I'm just scatterbrained!

Yes, I really want to see the starfish sandals you found! I've been on a mission the last few days to find some shoes. Thnaks Trish!

I am going to work on the ceremony tomorrow. It has been taunting me from my task list. I want to get it out of the way.
