I have been so busy lately sewing, creating, planning out our ideas for my daughters wedding and I thought I would share with you how I go about making this come to life. The wedding is over the 4th of July weekend so we are doing a little twist on the colors… Navy, peach, coral, pink and white. The peach pink and coral colors will come from the flowers and the beautiful napkins from Party Pail who is working with me to create this fun look!
I know I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination so go ahead and giggle at my attempt, but I am a visual kind of person and I have to see things on paper so I drew out what the buffet table will look like. Since it is 4th of July weekend we decided to do a hot dog bar and serve them with different kinds of toppings! I think it will be soo fun! Behind the tables I will have 2 large chalkboards with the menu written on them.
We are using lots of Gavlanized tin serve ware that I have been collecting to serve all the food from! Besides the hot dogs we are serving watermelon on sticks and chips with lemonade, water and sodas. My cute friend Julia is catering this for me so I don’t have to do this on my own..thank heavens for her!!
I have made 2 of the 12 table runners and I love how they look! Crisp and clean and fun! I have tried to get as many runners our of the width as possible without them looking wimpy. I made these about 14″ wide and 108″ long to fit on 8 ft. round tables. I all of this stuff set up in my dining room so I could a look as to how it might all come together.
I decided to serve the food in these cute cardboard trays with pretty French looking waxed papers as liners. Oh there is sooo much to do!!
Wait until you see what my daughter…Madeline has been planning for the shower!
So many details will be coming as we go along!
