Wedding Colours

We have an occasion to CELEBRATE! Our daughter and her boyfriend recently became engaged and we are thrilled!

Naturally, when they asked me to help them come up with wedding colours, I jumped at the chance! My daughter says she loves green but has a hard time visualizing how tables would look in a certain colour scheme.  (I know...is she really MY daughter?)  Thus, I came up with the idea to set up three small tables in our living room so she could see some examples.

As you see above, I went with different combo's of apple-green mixed with black and white and a dash of silver.  For this post, I'll focus on showing you the middle table with the black tablecloth.

  It was fun to round up various items I already had that might reflect a bit of a wedding theme and try them out.

The lowly green apple is given a much more sophisticated look when placed in glass on faux ice.

Acrylic napkin rings added to crystal candle holders give a bit of bling to the table.

 A centerpiece of "fire and ice"placed on a mirror adds some sparkle.

This "joined" stemware was an anniversary present from Mr. Delight years ago.  I thought it was perfect for this sample wedding reception table.

Apple-green coloured pillars are placed on these elegant crystal candle holders. ( birthday gift from my daughter)

I used my white with black print dishes, apple-green napkins and black chargers.

 Faux flowers and grasses in the coordinating colours look sharp against the black vase.

Can you imagine a wedding reception with a colour-combo like this?

My daughter says the "visual" has helped immensely.

In my next post, I'll show you a closer look at the far table with the green tablecloth.

Hmmm, since I have a romantic table like this already set up, Mr. Delight and I should try it out!

Wonder what I can get him to cook for me?
