The Finished Table Numbers

Vegetarians

Butternut squash is the order of the day. Sounds tasty!

Tablescape

I've been working up some sketches of what the banquet room might look like as I try to settle on a flower arrangement. I knew that I wanted orchid arrangements, half fresh cut stems, and half fabric orchids that I would make with various ends of fabric I already have. How exactly to make all that work has been on my mind since December. I have finally hit on what I think will work.

Below I have included the first couple of sketches and the final one is the one I like. In the first few I have the fabric and fresh all mixed in together. In the last one, the fresh orchids are the bottom red layer, and the fabric ones are above in various colors.

Table Numbers

We asked my best friend and Maid of Honor, Hannah, to work up some table numbers for us. Sticking with the berry theme, Hannah and I chose 15 different North Carolina berries; each number getting a different berry motif. Josh and I are overwhelmed with how great they turned out. She is also working on one for the bride and groom table, and a cover for the ceremony program.

Menu Tasting

We are traveling down to Asheville next weekend for our menu tasting. Aside from the main food we have upwards of 10 vegetarians. The chef will talk to us about that when we are there. They tend to do seasonal things. My idea is to keep it similar to the main food.
