Wedding Reception Planning
Posted by: | CommentsEvent wedding planning….continuing the Australian thread…..
Hello again,
Our custom in the USA is to have a prenuptial or rehearsal dinner on friday night, the wedding reception on saturday night and an “Out of Towner’s” brunch on sunday for the guests who have traveled to get there. That’s what we did for my daughters wedding so I understand your feelings completely. It is all over in a blink of an eye.
Your setting sounds beautiful and memorable, as well as a gift to everyone. I have been thinking about your theme and love it. I also would choose the Masterpiece white/silver ( the 6″ liner/bread and butter plate is often used as a cake plate as well as it is a bit less expensive than the dessert plate)
Do you need a liner as well?
Will you need a plate for “nibbles”?
A napkin for “nibbles”?
A fork for “nibbles”?
A dessert napkin?
What color are the roses to be for the centerpiece?
Would you consider imprinting either the dinner napkin, nibbles napkin or dessert napkin in silver?
I am thinking about the color of the runners, so as to compliment your antique table linen. I am a collector myself and mine all tend to be a bit yellowed, but I will wait to hear about your roses and can make it work in any case.
Last question for today…..how are you with a glue gun? I am thinking about napkins rings ( 6′ of gorgeous ribbon with baby pearl boarders) and adding matching boarders to your runners?!?
Looking forward to helping, Janyce
Event wedding planning
Posted by: | CommentsSo to continue with my customers outdoor wedding reception and wedding ideas:
Hi Janyce,
Thank you so much for your assistance.
I hope to answer your questions.
The wedding is our first, for our eldest daughter. To be held on October 2nd this year- which is our Spring time.
Due to the groom coming from Western Australia & we live on the East Coast, the guests are traveling a long distance. With this in mind, I decided to continue on the celebration to the following day. Also my husband & I don’t want this special event to end ! Weddings are over in such a short time & as we will have spent the next months organizing & finalizing, it seems a shame not to continue with a party the following day.
