In the "teens"

Hit 19 days left to go today. Hearing the "teen" part means it is SOOOO close, yup, starting to freak a little.

Mainly because I put together my centerpieces last night for FI, and we both looked at them and said "eh" Not thrilled. The look we want would take TONS of the clear acrylic diamond confetti and it is so expensive. So bummed and stressed that its 19 days away and we really don't have the main visual point of the reception figured out.

Re: In the "teens"

  • Congrats on getting to your "teens"!  How many of us would like to go back there again?!?!?

    Don't stress...something will come to you.

  • lol thanks, and ya, we are trying diferent options. It will all work out, I just need to relax. Iol
  • ok, I have black round table clothes, with a white overlay, and black chair covers, with royal blue sashes, royal blue napkins in the toasting glasses and silver charges. In the center is a square mirror. Here is what I like. Not all vases are filled, I don't have enough diamond confetti (800 pieces for $12, and it takes almost 2200 pieces for just the small vase)
    My 35 foot white backdrop behind the Head table has 8 blue uplights, and even our cake top is acrylic with blue lighting. So, we wanted to carry that to the tables. He doesn't like candles.

    For a back up, we have white rose buds on order. We will put about 4 inches of blue beads on the bottom with a LED light in each vase, fill with water and have 2 staggered rose buds per vase.



    Try to picture this on a white table cloth, square mirror, with the confetti sprinkled on the mirror and all vases filled and with the lights


  • Ya, that was the EH I mentioned. Also seems like a pain in the butt since I have to tie a washer at the end of the roses to make them sink below the beads. I tried without and they float up to top, and I need them below the ribon at the top of the vase.
  • I just posted on DIY, thanks for suggestions :)
