Real Wedding: Jennifer and Christian, VI
Okay, if you aren’t sitting down…you probably should. I know, painfully dramatic, but this time, a dramatic introduction is totally warranted. We are finally on to Jennifer and Christian reception…an elegant, refined but completely playful style that encompasses the easy going, intimate vibe that Jennifer wanted.

Ummm, hello. Do you see what I mean? This reception is the definition of fabulous, the reason why I love what I do. Everything is perfect…from the tailored, preppy linens to the bright, but totally elegant centerpieces. The little bottles are filled with Spanish paprika for guests to take home, doubling as a placecard holder. And, the little blue boxes are filled with personalized letterpress stationery for each guest.
Again, there are no words. This is my dream wedding realized…and on a $10,000 budget to boot!
gorgeous wedding! i LOVE the table runners - where are they from??
Holy cow! I honestly heard a chorus sing when I saw that color combo! $10,000. Amazing.
i love the look of the tables! where did they order the personalized stationery come from?
Could we please have more details? I am BEYOND impressed with the results, regardless of budget. Now that I know the budget is in reach, I would love to know how they did it. Please....?
Where did they get those paprika containers?! Such a cute, clever idea!
Hi! We only had 30 or so guests so that made it A LOT easier to have a less expensive wedding. Scale really matters!
We splurged on some things but since we were only doing 30x it didn't make a huge impact on the cost. It also helped that I was able to letterpress everything virtually for free (just had to cover the cost of materials).
I've sent Abby the resources but here they are again:

Table Runner - www.target.com (no longer available) :(
Boxes - www.usbox.com
Absolutley stunning..... What are the name of the boxes?
Wow, wow, wow. I'm in love. What a great job, and extra points since they had to lug everything to Spain. What a fantastic wedding!
I love that the simple weddings are sometimes more beautiful. It helps brides take a deep breathe and design the way they want to!
the colors are so refreshing! and the whole event felt so clean and put together!
I have that table runner and love it so much! Originally I got to to decorate a bridal shower I threw for my friend last April, and it's now a permanent fixture!
Lovely wedding - so many wonderful personal touches. Do you remember what size vials you purchased from the Speciality Bottle website? I saw three different sizes, but it's hard to tell which size you used.
Thanks for sharing!
No way is that table runner from Target! It looks just fab.
