Wedding again

topic posted Sun, February 24, 2008 - 1:35 PM by  SixxSeven
Three months til my big day...I've got a super-cool necklace from Kambriel, boots from fluevog, a corset from Heavy Red (didn't want to shell out big bucks), now I'm looking for favor and reception decor ideas. Let me know what you all think. Primary colors are Black and gold, with a little red too.

    We bought gargoyles from a ceramics shop and painted them, decorated them with flowers and candles to each side and used them as centerpieces at the reception. Another thing that might be cool.... make banners! Buy inexpensive fabric in your wedding colors and paint them with gothic motifs and hang them liberally around your venue. Plus, it's a fun project to do with friends!

      Hey, I don't post here a lot. You can also get ornate candleholders from places like Michaels and use the gold leafing stuff on them to make them look baroque, then use black or deep red pillar candles. It makes a cheap centerpiece too.

        Oh you can also get black or burgundy tulle netting and drape it in aesthetically pleasing places, and intertwine it with little clear lights (christmas lights).

        You can package favors in little black or burgundy or gold cloth gift bags (look at michaels crafts). One favor idea, if your friends are of the tea-drinking variety, is to make "tea for two": just two little individually wrapped teabags (like yogi tea sells, and you can use different flavors) in a little bag, with a little sign attached that says "tea for two". Inexpensive and classy.

        Maybe you could find burgundy candies like jordan almonds to stuff the bags with.

          (blushing) sorry, I just realized you were probably already married! That's what I get for not coming here often...

          sorry!
