Hi!
My wedding is in June, 2004. I feel like im way behind on my wedding plans. I am not much of a creative thinker so therefore I need a lot of help. I want to decorate very unqiue yet very cheap. I am willing to
Make a lot of it to cut corners but I just don't have any ideas.
Also I am having trouble with picking out music for the ceremony. I have a male and female singer with just a pianist. I don't want to use songs that are overused at weddings.
I would love to hear everybody's ideas. Hope to get some good ones.
Thanks!
I am located in Iowa.
My colors are a shimmering lavender (wisteria) and silver.
At this point I am not sure how many tables but we will be serving about 300 people.
Well I was going to do most of it myself but I found folks to do it for me at a couple dollars extra less the stress. The centerpieces are by a florist in Ga, cheap but the work is super and it costs $25.00 per table with sprinkled rose petals on the table.
We are doing a brunch buffet instead of a sitdown meal. The cake will come to us with just a sugar paste or smooth frosting and our florist will decorate it with flowers and ribbons ( cheaper than getting one decorated by the baker).
The invitations and accessories I get at 30 to 50% off retail price. I will order then January.

Tamara-
I tried to email you but it keeps coming back and says that your email account does not exist.
But heThanks for replying right away.
Some things I have decided so far are getting a bunch of white
Christmas lights and tulle. They will go along ways and it will look pretty.
Also I like poetry and I have picked out a lot of quotes and poems that
I would like to share with people. I wanted to just display them some
How. Like something within the centerpiece but I am not sure how to do
That. I thought of doing a globe vase with marbles or sometihng in it
With water and a floating candle.
When it comes to spending money I am penny pincher so therefore I have
Been trying to think of many ideas that I could do myself. For party
Favors I thought of making large sugar cookies, shaped hearts, with
Purple and white frosting on them and then write things on them. Like "just
Married" me and my fiance's names and things like that.
I would wrap them in little clear bags and tie it with a purple and
Silver ribbion.
Right now thats all I really have for ideas.
I need ideas for decorating the walls and the entrance of the reception
Building. The building is just an old gymanism. All it is is a gym and
A stage. Thanks again for replying and hope to hear from you again.

Re is what I wrote to you.
My mistake. The email address is thevarietystore1@yahoo.com. I am a penny pincher too but sometimes the stress and hassle is not worth a dollar. I have contacts to get certain things at a discout so feel free to use me if I can help in a peticular area.
Why not use place card holders to hold the poems? how large will they be 8 x 11 1/2 etc
Cute centerpiece idea: Cheap terra cota pots (with your poems painted on them), styrofoam balls placed on a stick and flowers/streamers/tissue stuck into the styrofoam ball with sewing pins. It would look like a mini tree.
Decorating idea for the gym door entry: Long, flowing pieces of toole (sp?) across the top of the door and down each side that are tied back with ribbon (like curtains). You'd want to do both sides of the door, going in and going out. It would be cool to have them hang in the door frame a bit. Maybe tie the inner and outer door materials together?
