Wedding Decor

Our wedding decor ended up turning out beautifully and exactly how I envisioned it. Wedding decor sets the tone and mood of the event and is such a critcal part of the overall day. It can also be an expensive (or inexpensive) addition. We ended up going with Details decor as they had prices that fit within our budget and I loved the decor pictures in their portfolio. Sandy, from details, not only provided all our decor, she also provided her services as our day of coordinator, so I didn't have to worry about all the little details on the day of the wedding.
For our decor, I knew we wanted simple, elegant and lots of soft lighting. We also wanted to work within our wedding colors of chocolate brown and aqua.

For our ceremony, I had initally wanted flowers, and a chuppah and a few other details. We ended up cutting out all the ceremony decor (as cost was a factor) and I didn't miss a thing. The park provided an amazing natural background and was the decor in itself.

For the reception here are many of our decor details:

 Here are how the tables looked at the reception. We used chocolate brown overlays on the tables, and a couple of chocolate brown and an aqua runners to make the x shape on the tables. Since the chairs were old metal chairs we used chair covers to transform the space into a softer look, with an aqua tie to tie in our colors. Napkins were white and we used aqua and white place cards to write guests names on.

 Our centerpieces where white orchids in tall vases with floating candles and clear rocks in the bottom. To bring in a little of the ocean, we used starfish holders to hold table numbers and menus (on the backside of the table numbers)

 We had a gorgeous backspash behind the head table. Their were white lights behind white organza with chocolate brown swags, and a brown swag in the front with an aqua tie.

 We used an aqua runner down the middle of our table, and aqua/chocolate brown petals along the front with candles and a couple of glass starfish to encorporate our slight ocean theme.

Homemade wine with personalized wine labels on the tables.
