Photo centerpieces

Loving this idea of lit up photos as the table centerpieces. Also from Martha Stewart. Thanks mom for all those great links!

This is a definite contender! Question is, do we limit it just to photos of ourselves through the years or include family pics too? I was also thinking of including family wedding photos on the entry table, but I don't want to go overboard with pics. Photos on wine bottles has entered my mind too.

I need to edit myself here. I want to do it all! Can you tell????

More luminaries

So I'm thinking about table settings now. Just exploring ideas. I like the idea of the different colors of the luminaries above, but we'd need the varying sizes to make that work.

I also surprisingly like the lace on the table centerpiece below. If I customize my dress the way I'd like to, the lace would be such a classic complement.

The ultimate honeymoon suite

This is from photographer Nicolas Matheus, but his website doesn't mention the location. I imagine it to be somewhere exotic like Santorini. How perfect to sleep under the stars on your wedding night!

Wedding Typography

Typography is a great way to add a stylish edge to your wedding. I particularly like this table display of font wrapped luminaries above. The red and black and the variety of fonts all add an eclectic touch.

It would be nice to carry that through to on the invitations, programs, etc.

Candlelight in a canning jar

I love these old jars and even have a few in my kitchen. They add such a rugged simplicity to the tea light inside.

A little inspiration

I love this wedding photo from the New York Times. Very inspiring.

Ironically, both the bride and groom are "dodgeball athletes" according to the article. Learn more about the ceremony here.

I'd like to try and incorporate the floating candles in the vases into our wedding, probably on the tables though. And I'd like to somehow replicate this altar as well. In white more likely. A cross between the one above and this one linked here.

Scottadito in Park Slope

We're considering a place called Scottadito here in Brooklyn for the wedding. It's actually an organic italian restaurant, and their food is great.

They host events in the cellar (shown above), and I think the ambiance of that would really set the right tone for the reception! Everything is wood-lined, and on the upper level, they have a great fireplace and a garden. Best of all is that their prices are quite affordable, and I love the location just off of 7th Avenue (on Union) in Park Slope.

We still have to meet with them to see if it'll work as a reception space, but it's our top choice so far. Fingers crossed!
