This is the table arrangement for a wedding I helped cater not so very long ago.
The task, here, was to seat 30 for the rehearsal dinner, in a rather smaller dining area, while the bride’s helpers prepared the larger dining area for the reception the following day.
I was totally pleased with how it turned out. The wedding colors were brown and yellow and I love how the walls cooperated with this plan. The centerpieces are simple tissue paper flowers, homemade, but exuberant and joyful. The entire theme of the wedding was whimsical and fun, so these fit in with all the rest of the laughter.
In fact, the entire setting seemed to fit the pattern for this wedding: relaxed, inexpensive, whimsical, inviting, joyful, and at the same time, calm. The symmetry I think helped to anchor all that explosion of yellow.
We began with little idea of how it would work, although we had measured the room, and figured the dynamics several times.
I think it worked.
Home's Cool! 
Hm, looks quite familiar. 🙂 Lovely.
I enjoyed the way it turned out, although I was surprised. Glad you liked it! 😉
I love the burst of colour.
Me too, Tilly! Yellow is such a popping color, but just the right choice to jazz up brown satin. 🙂
