At first I wondered if maybe this service might be useful for someone who has no idea about visual aesthetics. But, if you are someone who knows nothing about visual aesthetics, here's what you do:

1) Pick a venue you like, or that has particular meaning for you. Have chairs.

2) Enough about centrepieces: put something fun or awesome in the middle of your table. Like candy, or a jigsaw or something.

3) Have some sort of flowers if you want.

4) Be in love with one another, and your guests will be too teary to even see your decorations.

5) Solved.

Yes, thank you for posting this! I pour over these wedding blogs in my Google reader every day and start to give myself agita because I can't afford color coordinating parasols and peacock feathers for my wedding. I've already fallen for too much of the Long Island wedding hype, now I feel much better about reining it in. THANK YOU!

Sigrid…you said it for me! I too get panic on the "perfect" wedding blogs.

But I'm NOT PERFECT!

Thank you. THANK YOU. I'm getting married SATURDAY (yes I'm getting nervous – for the wedding part, not the marriage part) and the last thing I need to worry about is that my wedding vision isn't stylish enough or that people will judge it – I just want to have FUN and BE MARRIED. Stylish or not.

um, meg.

you say these things as if the wedding day is about something more important than what some stylist tells you is going to look good in photos.

odd.

Thank you for this! I get so crazed about how I'm supposed to have a "theme." I was thinking of plain invitations that say across the top "A Wedding is a Theme." And leave it at that.

hey meg,
I have no words to express what an incredible breath of fresh air you are in the wedding blogosphere. I look at the perfectly 'styled' weddings, and I panic sometimes that mine will never be like that. And then I remember, that I don't need to be like that. My love fell for me because I'm real, I'm rumpled, I'm never perfectly styled. And as such, there is no need to hanker after a perfectly styled wedding.

and you have just confirmed that. So thank you.
