oh and i forgot...i also got some silk rose petals to sprinkle around the table. you can use real ones that te florists sell pretty cheap in little baggies but i got silk and organza ones because i have to do the decorating myself and dont have time to pick up fresh etc.i got the same ones for the flower girl basket and i mixed in with the rose some hearts punched out of the same vellum paper i used for the centerpieces. you can buy one of those scrapbook shape punches in any shape at all (dove,heart,cross) and sprinkle those on the table for a completely coordinated look. i used the same punch to punch out hearts that i stamped with a verse and a dove and then i punched a hole in the heart with a plain old office hole punch a nd tied it to a little ribbon which is then tied ariund the bubbles for the ceremony. al this stuff is really ceap and can look really simple and elegant if you pick out fine papers and understated colors or it can look very cute. i'm not to thrilled about having to do all the craft work but i am saving a ton of money and the stuff in the stores i have found to be very gaudy.
