The stuff that makes it pretty.

Centerpieces

One candle wouldn't light b/c I got it wet.  But I like these.  I am super happy with how these turned out.  We will have white linens under the table runners.

Pew bows.

Pew bows.  I wanted some to make our lovely little church even prettier.  But I hated the tacky cheap ribbony ones.  I found these online from ebay store giftwrap*etc  under tulle bows.  They are easy to assemble (takes like 20 seconds to pull the bows together) and they look soooo nice.  I am beyond pleased.  I bought pew clips online, but then found some at Hobby Lobby for the same price.  I think I might put a small silk flower alternating pink and burgundy in the centers.

Aisle runner from Hobby Lobby during half off sale!  Its a really pretty pattern and fabric (not slippery plastic).  I am going to DIY our monogram on them like the pic to the right.

Ceremony decor....

Our florist, Phillip from House of Flowers in Hot Springs, was amazingly helpful in talking about flowers.  He has done numerous weddings in our church before, so he suggested two big floral sprays in columns and urns, like the photo as well as two candelabras, kind of like the ones in the picture.

Reception decor.

I love the submerged flowers.  And I wanted to do them myself because we can do reception set up the day before the wedding, so I didn't want to have to pay someone to come and set it up.  So, my googling began. The internet is your friend!
