So we have the backdrop for behind the head table so that's one VERY big thing off our list for decor!!! But the head table decor is a whole other thing...
We have 3 six feet long tables on risers with a half moon table at the front for the cake. The hall will be setting it with white table clothes and so far that's it lol.
I really don't want to go twinkle light crazy as I'm hoping for more of a candle light feel. But what I was thinking was getting a hold of some put lights to shine up a couple of areas of the table? any thoughts?
I'm just sitting at the computer say hmmmm that's nice. But I haven't fallen in love with any ideas. Our backdrop is white and our chair covers are white with a pink floppy bow.
If any of you have anything outstanding that you have found I am soooooo open for ideas!

I'm still looking but I did find this..What about hanging pink tulle draping ever so elegantly from the head table and for the cake table. Then either hide x mas lights behind to give more of a candle light feel. Then adorn the top of the table with votives and pink rose petals or various shades of pink for more of an added pop!!!! I'll keep looking but so far this is just what I found..

Here's another just to show you an idea how the white lights under the tulle give more of a candlelight look..

I was kind of thinking though if lindsey used the pink tulle with the white lights behind it, it would still give more of a candlight lighting with a little twist and more pop!
Then with tons of votives over the head table and pink shades of rose petals, it would look amazing!!
Thats just my opinion!! I want to know what lindsey thinks!!

I used candles scattered all over our cake table with a small three candle candlelabra. For our head table, we ran votive candles down the length of the tables and a larger hurricane type candle arrangement in the center. It turned out really soft and pretty.

I think maybe an underlay of ivory with white tulle over it woudl give a nice candlelit feel... the ivory would give it "warmth" while the white tulle would give it that dreamy, ethereal feel.

It might, however I think it would take away from the "dream/cloud/soft" feel. But I do see what your saying about the all white... kinda monochromatic effects. LOL Well, It'll be only a short time to see what Lindsey comes up with :) You too!!! I can't wait for everyone's wedding pictures!!
