Table Centerpieces

I came up with an idea for table numbers (for lack of a better word, as these are not really numbers)...

in the center of each table, have song lyrics from music that has played an important part in our relationship. each table could be a different song or artist.

i found something similar to what I'm thinking here.

what do you think?

Wedding music from Up!

I was on GWS this week (surprise, surprise) and I read about a couple that used the music from the movie Up as their processional music... and I love it!!! The whole soundtrack has a sort of vintage jazzy fantastical old movie feel... just wonderful. :)

If you've never heard it, you can find the album for sale (with samples to listen to) here, or go to youtube and search up soundtrack...it'll come up.

love this idea :)

how cute is this photobooth from GWS?

love the idea of putting out fun props for guests to use too...

Fading out a logo behind names or other text is a cool idea

The flowers in the background and the illustration of the hands give this one a rustic feeling

Great expressions of love

BHLDN sets my heart aflutter...again.

Just in case the beautiful dresses, accessories, and shoes weren't enough to give me a heart murmur, BHLDN now has a "so this is love" featurette on their website, including famous quotes about love. This was my favorite.

"This is where I have always been coming to. Since time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, and we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere."

-A.S. Byatt, Possession

So, so beautiful.
