Engaged to a graphic designer meant that we'd be designing our own stationary, and being an artist myself led me to do all the decor. Jason designed a logo for us which we used on all our favors, and together we designed our invitations. I also expanded the stationary and used the same designs on our favors and invitations to everything from a bar menu to cute little quiz's about 50's culture.
I took the minimalist route for the most part when it came to the decor. I painted my own art for the walls, choosing themes from our courtship. Jason and his two children also contributed pieces, as well as my mother. Centerpieces for the few tables were made of moss covered circles with flowers and sticks held in place by blue glass beads. The over all effect was quite stunning, and the arrangements were significant in that the children helped me gather the sticks and assisted me in putting it all together.
The minimalist table decor was great. Let me tell you that your guests really don't give a hoot about what is on the tables! Simple is good. I had a few large key pieces and accented everything with tea lights. The most engaging pieces was not the decor, it was the handmade wrist corsages and boutineers. I made enough for almost half our guests.
