An Old Sample Picture

This is a sample of my tables that I did back in April. This was before I got my square purple place mats to put under the centerpieces. It's just a rough draft. There will also be rose petals or potpourri scattered on the table just surrounding the charger.
I'm using "like linen" type tablecloths, although I would have loved to have had real linen. But paying over $100 to rent tablecloths is a bit out of our budget. Even if it were just a little under $100, it would be out of our budget. The same goes for napkins. They will also be paper. BUT.....if when the time comes for the wedding....we've saved up more than we needed, I will DEFINITELY, at the very least, get real linens for the tables.
You will see in the picture that only one of the bubble favors is decorated with a bow. I pretty much took this pic for myself...just to get an idea of what it would look like.

DIY Table Numbers

I made my own table numbers by adding a white heart, lined in purple, with the table number (also purple) inside of it. I made 2 copies of each picture (Walgreen's .10 each) so that I could have table number and pictures showing in front and back. I attached each picture to white cardstock. I'm thinking about laminating them........
I'm using dove, bell, and heart place card holders to hold them up. They are very simple, but very personalized to our sort of "black and white picture" theme we have going.
I bought the place card holders at Party City, almost immediately after setting the date for our wedding. I should have waited, as I have seen them for less at other places. Oh well, chalk it up to experience. It's much too late to return them now. All in all, I'm very happy with the way they came out.
