Need some ideas please

Eighth Anniversary 100 Comments 25 Love Its Combo Breaker
in African American Weddings
Hi Ladies,

I have a while to go before my wedding, but I work so much I just try to get done what I can when I can.  Right now, I know its early but I am thinking about my reception decor and what I can do to tie in my wedding colors.  My colors are navy blue, coral, and silver.  I am trying to think of ways to incorporate the colors into my wedding.  I have white table cloths and I thin kmy centerpeices will look something like the picture I have included. Other than that, that's about all I have. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    If you plan on having menus or table numbers you could always incorporate the colors that way. Also the napkin colors and chair sashes if you plan on them could be a different colors. It is definitely not too early to start thinking about these things!

    I would do napkins and chair ties in the colors. Also up lighting and submersible gel beads could be worked into those. Or a flower submerged in the water

    </div><div>Agreed! I have 6 months left. Ideally, I'd like to have all of my DIY projects done by end of year, and then all we have to worry about next year is alterations and final deposits.

    <div>Girl I hear you! I work three jobs and I am planning a wedding and a move to another state.  They should be asking what can I do to help.  I am looking for a photo and videographer now.  I am hoping to have them booked by the end of the month.  The problem is, they are so expensive they dont fit in my budget.  I have a friend that is going to take pictures starting with the rehearsal dinner until the day after but I do want some professional ones done.  I got an email today from a photo and I am going to post a post about it in a few to see what yall think.  STD are out. I forgot to add that to the list as well as i have my photo booth booked as well with a deposit down.  I actually have two DOC because I have a very large wedding party. SO I have one responsible for people and one responsible for decor.  I actually have four pairs of shoes I am trying to decide between.  I am still thinking though, so even though I have shoes in my possession, I dont have shoes actually chosen.</div>

    You are on the right track.... This is the time to be thinking about reception decor.. I love that centerpiece, love it.. Was thinking of something similar.. One our other knottie sisters had one and it was amazing based on the pics. LOL.. Anyways, can you do a silver table cloth with blue runner and blue napkins? and then do a silver table cloth with coral runner and coral napkins. kind of alternate tables with the same centerpiece.. I hope i didn't confuse you.. I post a picture of my linen and colors so you can get a visual.
