My 2 best friends are sisters. Their youngest sister tied the knot in a "Destination Wedding" here it Pittsburgh. Having had my own wedding away, I tried to help her make the wedding as painless as possible.
The theme of the wedding was "Travel".
Each table had a theme of places
they have been together & their home towns.
Los Angeles
Pittsburgh
Antigua
Las Vegas
San Diego
Wine Country
We did floral centerpieces & the tables had "hints" of each destination on the table. I used artificial flowers to do the centerpieces, hoping she wouldn't be able to tell. Obviously the shredded paper was a dead giveaway, but there weren't any on the head table. She had no idea they were artificial until she picked it up.
Operation "Fake Flowers" was a success!
I got the flowers from Garden Ridge. Why I never stepped foot in that store until now is beyond me. I always thought it was like Home Depot or Lowes. Boy was I wrong! I was pleasantly surprised at all of the beautiful things they had. Their flower selection was great. They had flowers for any budget.
It's been fun & a bit challenging.
The Bride gave suggestions & I went with it.
She was so excited when I told her I wasn't telling her anymore about the wedding.

It was great, I got to play "David Tuturo" for her.

Unfortunately, playing wedding planner did not give me time to go around & take pictures of each table theme. The photographer gladly took pictures for me & is going to send them to me when she is done editing. I will be sharing those & the rest of the Travel themed creations I made.
