I am curious as to what chairs you used? My color scheme is the same as yours and I wanted to use a glass table charger with silver beads, however, my chairs are gold legged.

Each table number has a different quote about art and/or love by a famous artist (since the wedding was in an art gallery). I bought plain sheets of the paper our invitations were printed on and then had the quotes done by our calligrapher in a pale green ink. I give all credit for the table numbers to Abby. She directed me to this site which I used for a lot of the quotes. http://www.artquotes.net/
The little silver easels the numbers are on were purchased from Bed, Bath, and Beyond using a whoooole lot of their 20% off coupons

I love the table numbers! Did they each feature a different love quote on them? Where are they from? Everything is beautiful!

How lovely!

Where are those lovely programs and table cards from? I’ve not seen anything quite like them.

Casey, The green box was actually our ringbearer pillow. It was made out of green button mums and green pearl head pins. It smelled great and lasted forever. It was one of my most favorite details!

I believe the fern fronds are called fiddlehead ferns. Which is basically a completely furled frond before it’s had a chance to open. The fiddlehead term seems to apply to any kind of fern so I’m not sure exactly what kind of fern these babies are but if you tell your florist or do a search you should be able to come up with what you want.

Thanks ladies, and thanks so much for featuring our wedding Abby. I read the blog religiously throughout planning (ok, and I still do) and I drew a lot of inspiration from this site.

Lisa, the hors d’oeuvres in the bottom left are smoked salmon lollipops served on a bed of wheatgrass.
Meghan, I don’t know what the technical name is for those fern fronds, we always called then monkey tails They worked great though, and like you said was a great way to bring in some brown and some whimsy.

this is absolutely gorgeous! i love the escort cards. and the palette is so organic – she pulled in just enough white and pink neutrals to make the greens and brown pop.
