So I wanted to think about something that would be a fun & ‘old school’ idea for place cards at the wedding reception, and this definately fits the bill. Remember those generic “HELLO my name is” name tags? I got one that came with my Munny from KidRobot and I think it’s a cute, inexpensive way for guests to find their seats.
Likely you can buy them at any office supplies store, and I’m even willing to guess they’d be available at the dollar store (gotta save where you can!).
Whether your guests decide to wear them is up to them, but don’t you think that would just ‘break the ice’ for the guests?
Love it!
Can’t think locate them? Find them here.

I came across these cork placecards & cork wine candles and thought they would be nice details for a rustic wedding.

The decore at the recent American Cancer Society’s Discovery Ball Fundraiser included teal linens and mirrored boxes filled with fresh pink roses. The flower boxes were placed side by side and extended the center length of each table. Candles were scattered throughout in glass cubed holders, in addition to the black and white accents of the plates and napkins.

You would never think that these colors would work together, but when I created this color swatch I was pleasantly surprised.

Oh gee..I was out last night so I didn’t get a chance to post about the big news…well, the news we all knew was coming.

Ashlee Simpson, 23 and Pete Wentz, 28 were married on Saturday at Simpson’s parents’ LA home. Says their spokesperson to PEOPLE:
“We’re delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends,” said the spokesperson.
The dress: Monique Lhullier ivory lace wedding gown. Necklace & earrings by Neil Lane.
Guests: 150. Joe Simpson performed the ceremony while Jessica Simpson was the maid of honor. Other guests included Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, and longtime Simpson friend CaCee Cobb.
Wedding Theme: Alice in Wonderland
The Cake: Complete with a top hat, tea pot, stop watch, and pot of flowers on top - by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings

The food/drinks: Rose Veuve Clicquot champagne & sit-down dinner
Simpson told PEOPLE on Friday that she was never the type to dream about her wedding when she was growing up, but changed her tune once she got engaged. “Now that I’m doing it, I definitely have that big dream. It kind of went more fairytale than I thought. I got really into it.” Added Wentz, “She has this amazing imagination and to watch it take place is an awesome thing.”
However, no alcohol for Ashlee because she announced she was pregnant at the reception!
Congrats to the happy couple!

How many of you still have lots of paint chips left over from deciding on what color to paint your homes?
Here are two unique ways to use these left over pieces for your wedding, while being eco-chic in the process.
Designers for the tables at Diffa’s Dining by Design event this week in New York innovatively used paint chips for decoration. Here, Vicente Wolf used paint chips as napkin rings and scattered other colorful chips across the table surface.
Always eco-friendly Daily Danny cut the paint chips into circles and tied them onto wine glasses with guest names.
…
Other uses: name cards & floral arrangements - ONLY for the crafty, or else it might look juvenile..
