Dave and I set up another centerpiece because we're having trouble figuring out what kind of flower to put in the water. We wanted to maintain the whole wildflower look, and were finding that (naturally) orchids looked much too tropical. In a previous trial, we tried purple iris flowers, however they looked almost navy blue.
At a recent trip to Michael's, Dave and I found these giant yellow flowers. We loved the idea of a large pop of color, and how having one large flower really simplified the centerpiece.
In this photo you can also see our 'table numbers'. We are using photos of Colorado 14ers (14,000 foot peaks) that Dave has taken. Each table is then named after that peak, and displayed in a $1.00 plastic frame from wal-mart (the cheapest place to buy them). On an easel entering the reception hall will be a large board covered in a Colorado area topo-map, and over that the same photos and names of our guests with their table.
On the napkin (in which the menu cards are tucked) will be a large river rock with their name on it. It's a work in progress, but I think we've worked out the big kinks!
