Our nephew asked me to decorate for his wedding rehearsal dinner, which was last weekend. Being held at a BBQ restaurant (Central BBQ) in Memphis, TN, it was something I had never done before! I was excited to be a part of the celebration!
The wedding colors were shades of green and dark gray. The bride chose to use some burlap and wood, as well. The colored chairs in the restaurant added a bit of whimsy to the room.
I found cute chalkboard, "They Lived Happily Ever After" placemats on Etsy, and ordered personalized little bags from "For Your Party" for the napkins and silverware.
Also from Etsy, I ordered this personalized cutting board for the wedding gift.
The hardest part of the decorating came as we began to put placemats at each setting. It would be easier if we knew everyone! But, it worked out fine. We finished decorating just a little bit before the guests arrived.
These two guys were my helpers. These looks are meaning, "We're done! We're not doing any more!" Ha ha!
And here's the bride-to-be and groom-to-be. Such a cute couple!
And here's the rest of my family, minus my husband, who was unable to go to the wedding (conflict with a 69 year old tradition at his work). We had a lot of fun together!
I'll post wedding pics soon!
Love it!
