The Tables

Picture
We used dark blue linens with lime green napkins on each of our tables to match our color scheme.  One of my few DIY projects that I took on was the table numbers.  I made them with navy blue and lime green paper that I layered under numbers that I printed from my computer.  They were quick and easy and looked great.

Our favors were chopsticks (to celebrate the Chinese side of my family) with our monogram on the tags.

The escort cards were also a DIY project. I cut the bottoms off of wine corks that I bought from Ebay and printed out the actual cards on my computer using Business card paper.  We received some great compliments on the escort cards and some of the other little details.

The Centerpieces

Picture
We used green orchids in cylinders with floating candles as our centerpieces.  They did not get in the way during the family style dinner and looked gorgeous.  Maggiano's also provided some votives on the tables which added a really nice touch.

Our escort card table had small centerpieces and my BM put their bouquets on the table as well. 

The Sweetheart Table had a larger centerpiece that was not too tall or wide and was the perfect compliment to our table.

The Cake

Our cake was a Mad Hatter Style Vegas Cake.  Our cake flavors were:  Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese filling, Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Mousse and Princess White Cake with Lemon filling.  The cake was absolutely delicious.

The Guest Book

Picture
We made a photo guest book through Shutterfly and were very happy with the results.  We also made up a Guest Book sign so our guests would know they could actually sign on the photo pages.  Even with the sign, most guests were hesitant to write on the photo pages and wrote on the blank pages in the front and back pages.
