First, chances are we're not going to be sitting a whole lot at the reception anyways. So, to me, it makes more sense to have a table just for the two of us. That way if we get up to chat we're not abandoning our fellow table-mates.
Second, it seems romantic. On the off chance that we do actually sit at our table we get it all to ourselves. We can share some private moments that I know we'll be craving that day.
Third, well let me show you in pictures:
Here's what I came up with for our sweetheart table:
You're gonna have to use your imagination and see this against a nice clean white table cloth, not my oatmeal colored throw. And I may include some jars with candles on our table just like the ones I'm using for the centerpieces.
The first part of this post is a bit of a repeat for y'all, but please follow to the end if you're interested in my project!
It was very easy to make and didn't take much time either. I went to Michaels and bought this olive branch cluster thing fr0m the floral department. I think it cost five bucks. Then, using a bunch of leftover flowers from our bouquets, I covered the olive branch cluster.
I really liked the idea of incorporating our initials in someway. I found some thick cardboard (I think it was backing a stack of vellum I'd purchased for another project.) Yay for free stuff! I printed out "J & R" (I'm not sure what font I chose) and then cut them out of the cardboard with an Xacto knife. And of course, decided to spice them up with a little glitter.
Using some leftover (do you see a trend yet?) yellow ribbon, I hung the letters from the middle of the branches.
Are y'all having a sweethearts table? How are you planning to decorate your special table?
