My DIY Reception Table Decor - Thoughts???


Recommended Posts

So after speaking with my WC and being told that my table decorations would begin at $75 per set up I decided to try another DIY project.  Below is my first try.  As a reminder, the table will be much longer as were seating 40 people (20 on each side) and the set up will be spread out a little more than my creation.  Candles will be lite at the reception and excuse the black rim on my dinner plates, all white plates will be used at the resort.

 

Let me know if I should add or delete anything...  Comments are appreciated!  Thanks ladies...

Thanks ladies!!! I was definitely going for simple and affordable all while looking nice. Reception will be inside however the restaurant is set right on the beach line and overlooks the shore. So I think I'll be fine with lit candles... All materials were purchased from Michaels with various 20% - 25% off coupons so the total set up cost roughly $99.50, saving me approx $300!!!!!! :D - White tin pails: $2.50 each @ 6 = $15 w/ 25% off paying $11.25 - Hydranger flower: $3.59 each @ 6 = 21.54 w/ 25% off paying $16.15 - Ribbon: $1 w/ 25% off paying .75 - Pail Tags: $5.99 w/ 25% off paying $4.49 - Octagon Mirrors: $3.49 each @ 5 = $17.45 w/ 20% off paying $13.96 - Candle Holders: $4.99 for 1 dozen (purchased from eBay) - 7 inch Taper Candles: $5.99 each @ 2 = $11.98 - 8 inch Pillar Candles: $4.99 each @ 3 = $14.97 - 6 inch Pillar Candles: $3.99 each @ 3 = $11.97 - 4 inch Pillar Candles: $2.99 each @ 3 = $8.97 Any other feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!

I think everything looks great!! The only thing I would suggest is to see if you can get candles that are electric!! That way you don't have to deal with them dripping at all and if it is outside and windy you won't have to deal with anything blowing out

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
