PIP: It's all in the details!

KKakes · November 2009

I still don't have pro pics yet, but wanted to share my favorite detail shots that my friends have passed to me so far in hope that they will spark any ideas for knotties that need them! These are our bride and groom signs we bought from The Back Porch Shoppe on Etsy: [img]http://tinyurl.com/ybfsq8r[/img] These were our cocktail tables, with vintage mason jars I filled with sand from the beach and stuck a candle inside, these were awesome at night! [img]http://tinyurl.com/ydjmyj9[/img] These were our tables...we had three mason jars on each table that were filled with flowers. We used raffia to tie the napkins and each table number was a number that meant something to use followed by a story of what it meant. They were all placed in vintage picture frames! [img]http://tinyurl.com/ydajw27[/img] Mason jar center pieces up close: [img]http://tinyurl.com/ybdj3qb[/img] These were our place cards we had made on Etsy from seller "rsvpct" She made the fonts and colors to match our invites!

The names are a bright green but its hard to see in the pic: [img]http://tinyurl.com/ycppsxp[/img] FUN!!

Really like your style Kelsey...great decor. I plan on using a lot of mason jars as well. I will use them on the aisle chairs and then again for the cocktail/escort tables. As well i would like to use them on the railing of the porch and put candles in them similar to what you did for the cocktail tables. I also plan on purchasing signs from the back porche shoppe....love their stuff. Did you do anything to the bathrooms? J. :-)

Great pictures! A couple questions.. did your votives stay lit? I ordered some of the flameless ones with natural wicks because of the wind there. wondering if I should return them? How was the DJ? We are using him as well.Thanks for sharing!Karen

kelsey - so beautiful! I love your flower centerpieces - I'm planning on doing something similar, but just scrounging around for old vases/jars at goodwill, etc. I love your table number idea!!!

Hey ladies! To answer your question: So, I used a florist to do my flowers, but I was so so so specific with what I wanted...cheap and mason jars. In fact, she didnt even think mason jars were an option, so I called every place in Maui and found some at Walmart for $1 a piece which I had her go get. You could easily do these yourself though...just go to Walmart (or order the jars on the internet and have them delivered to your hotel/WC!!) and buy flowers from where ever you want...easy with a smaller wedding...wish I would have! I also got the cocktail table jars and some other jars off Etsy when I searched for vintage mason jars!
