As the semester comes to a close, I have a little more time to think about preparing for my trip to Italy, as well as all things wedding planning. In running my errands yesterday, I found myself inside HomeGoods. (A fairly common occurrence. It's like I just magically end up there, half the time I don't know how I get there. I swear!) Anyway, I found the cutest color dipped "J" and fell in love. My first thought was too bad I'm not Mrs. Kyle Jones yet, because then I could take it home with me and really justify it! But then I had an alternative idea... Centerpieces! I have already decided that I'd like each table to have something a little different on it, just for variety and because I can! I think it would just add an element of fun, which I really like. So I thought what if some tables had "J's" on them, in a variety of styles? Post-wedding they could make a fun gallery wall collage, with pictures incorporated.
It got me thinking about some of the other centerpiece ideas I've had...
A mix of metallic bottles as candle holders. (Source)
Copper painted lanterns. (Source)
Candles on tree stubs. (Source)
A variety of flowers in shorter vases. I love calla lilies! (Source)
Anyway, those are just a few of my preliminary ideas. I definitely want each table to be a little different, not so cookie cutter. And I love flowers but I don't LOVE flowers, so I'm not opposed to skimping on them. I'm excited to decide on the date and venue when I get back from Italy, which will then propel many more finalized decisions to be made.
Hope you have a great Wednesday!
