We Start Today: Reception Details

I shared our ceremony details in an earlier post and now it's time to take a look at our reception details! Cocktail hour was coming to a close and our guests were ready to head into the theater. But before they went in they had to grab their "ticket" escort cards.

Our escort cards were placed on my DIY zig zag holders. They surrounded a "Will Call," sign telling guests to pick up their ticket to find their table.

After our guests picked up their ticket they headed into the theater. When they looked to the left they saw our custom wine favors on display.
Our custom red and white wine.
When our guests entered the theater this is what they saw. 
Our cake table!

We had two different kinds of centerpieces. Some tables had three tall vases with white tulips, orange gerbera daisies and green "buttons." I don't know the technical name for the button ones...
When our guests found their table they saw our tic tac place cards. Each guests name was on their tic tac container.
Our kitties who were back in New York even had their own tic tac place cards which were displayed at our sweetheart table.

And finally our kids bags which were a huge hit with the kids and their parents!

We Start Today: Ceremony Details

I LOVE reading other bee's posts about their wedding day details. I'm a sucker for an artistic ring shot or a photo of bouquets in the bride and bridesmaids hands. So here are all those special detail shots from our big day!

Here's an artistic ring shot to start us off!
When our guests first arrived they were greeted by our engagement photo guest book, programs and mad lib cards.
Unfortunately not many people participated in the mad libs. I think people forgot to go back and grab them after the ceremony. My bad. But we did get a handful of hilariously clever completed mad libs.
Our Programs. They were a pain to make but our guests really loved them. 
Our "UP" card mailbox!
This was a last minute addition. You might recognize those mugs from anthropologie. I went to Osh and grabbed the first orange flowers I could find and planted them in the mugs. I thought it added a little something extra to our gift table.
Our beautiful ceremony site at the Padua Hills Theater
My beautiful poms before they were destroyed.
I was lame and forgot to get a cute hanger for my dress. 
My something blue shoes.
My Angels baseball garter. 
A close up of my something borrowed bracelet from MOH N.
I love this shot of our rings
My DIY sign! It ended up falling apart after the wedding, but it served its purpose!
We used the ring pillow that my parents used for their wedding. My Mom bought it at a thrift store in 1983.
And what's that I spy attached to the bow?
My Bee charms that were passed onto to me from Mrs. Petit Four.  
They took a special ride down the aisle on the ring pillow. 
My beautiful bouquet by Cupids Arrow.
I was so pleased with the way my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets turned out. I really gave no instructions other than, green with some white for the bridesmaids. I happened to mention how much I love tulips and was so happy to see them present in the bridesmaids bouquets.
