Centerpiece Fiasco 2009
By now I am sure everyone has heard about the centerpiece disaster (not really) no need to re-hash it here, but the apples are out (well at least for now).
So today I did some browsing on my lunch break at the local garden center trying to get some ideas. Here are some of the pics I took to inspire me!
I am falling in love with the mini white pumpkins, I had considered them before but I was shying away from pumpkins for various reasons. However, I really do think they are elegant and simple.

centerpiece mock up
So I made a mock-up of my apple centerpiece idea. We went to a local farm on Sunday, and bought apple cider donuts, hot apple cider, white mini pumpkins, some funky squash, and this...
I didn't think I was going to love it as much as I do. So that's exciting, the FI thinks its a little too plain and he was trying to come up with ideas on what to do to make it stand out more. Like something around the base? Or maybe we can add small flowers on the table? Any ideas?
I think I am going to add brown ribbon around the center of the basket. And I have to figure out table numbers or names. We were playing with the idea of trying to find a different kind of apple for each table and naming the table after each apple. But that sounds difficult.
So many options!

Photog
We met with the "potential" wedding photographer yesterday. I say potential because really barring some sort of catastrophe he will be our photographer. He is a friend of a friend which makes us super happy and he understands our "vision" whatever that means. Plus the price is something we are comfortable with which helps a tremendous amount. Photography is important but it wasn't something I was willing to spend thousands of dollars on, mainly because we don't have that kind of money to spend, lol.
Oh and for my readership, he had a picture in his portfolio of a bride with a LAMA. We were sold right there.

This might change everything
I just found a beautiful centerpiece on etsy, that I am currently struggling to not immediately purchase. If I were to purchase it and was to discover that it's as fabulous as I anticipate I would then need to immediately order 20 more for the wedding.
What do you think?
She has them listed at $16.50 a piece! That is kind of a steal, a little more then my original idea but they are so gorgeous, I don't know what to do!
