Tales of a Reception Set-Up.

We had an amazing group of ladies working to turn this:

Into a vision of beauty looking like this:

Z had worked really hard ahead of time to picture the look she was going for. We had so much fabric to work with which was amazing.

Especially when you combine that with an aunt who is an interior designer.

Like wow. The only response after seeing her work.

Like this picture where she used remnants of decorations to cover heaters which we didn't need.

It was a fun day even if a little stressful. There were about 8 of us working hard in this hall making it look the way they wanted it.

There was a point where we wondered if we were going to get it all done as it was taking so long.
So thankful for husbands who are so calm in stressful scenarios (see last picture LOL).

Here are some of the little touches:

 Flowers in the backs of the chairs & Guestbook table with prayer tree.

(The guests wrote a prayer for the couple as they started their marriage, not sure if they've had a chance to read them all yet)

 Thumbprint tree for them to frame and put in their new home together, reminding them of all the people supporting their marriage.

Sparklers to send them off on their honeymoon with.

 Goldfish in the centerpieces, the coolest thing ever!!! And Dan's sweet sisters spent probably 3 hrs wrapping the cutlery at each of the place settings. 

The favors Z had done herself ahead of time. Seeds for everyone to plant.

Sad I couldn't bring any back due to agricultural laws of CBP. 

Oh well =) 

What sweet ideas right? Z had found a lot of them on Pinterest during the last year....

got to love Pinterest wedding ideas.

It truly was beautiful to see it all take place.

Hope its not too much picture overload for everyone.

I couldn't help sharing each beautiful detail.
