Having an outdoor tented wedding ceremony and reception and I’m really struggling with what to do with my guest tables since it’s looking like they’ll be hideous as of now...
Background: I feel like I’ve gone off the rails with the whole wedding color scheme. It was originally Supposed to be blush, gray, gold, champagne but whatever. Things evolve.
Now there’s this whole rose gold thing happening, which is totally fine, but I a) Want to make sure everything still looks good together, and 2) incorporate gold somehow since I really haven’t used that color yet. Plus, FH’s tie is champagne with gold stripes so I really should use that color somewhere on the guest tables... right?
Here’s what the guest tables will look like so far (everything below already purchased):*White tablecloths *Centerpieces - wood slabs with the white lanterns (blush flame candle going) and flowers in mason jars on top. Flowers will be blend of quicksand roses (ivory/blush), spray roses (blush), regular blush roses, white hydrangeas, and dusty Miller (Gray).*Rose gold cutlery (laid out)*White linen napkins with rose gold sequin rings*Wedding favor truffle boxes (white boxes with gold trim)
(My future MIL bought a blush sequin tablecloth for the head table as well FYI.)
So the guest tables aren’t so bare (dinner plates will be inside next to buffet - white with a subtle rose gold ring around edge), and so I don’t have to throw down $$ for a bunch of plastic charger plates I’ll never use again, I’m going to get lace paper doilies for each place setting and lay out the rose gold silverware at each setting. BUT I’m having a hard time figuring out what color to go with...Originally was going to do blush since I liked the sample I received from the seller over the gray, but According to my florist vendor, she thinks it’ll be too matchy matchy and the centerpiece flowers won’t really stand out. She recommended gold but won’t that would look weird with rose gold silverware next to them? And also with the dinner plate once guests put them on there??? Gray might be too harsh since it’s used pretty sparingly so far (groomsman suits and dusty miller in bouquets) but gold might look weird too, right?
Really don’t want to have to return and reorder stuff at this point since the wedding is in 35 days, but if that’s what I need to do to make thing look nice, I’ll do what I have to. It’s really hard to visualize what everything will look like and I really don’t like the idea of waiting until the actual setup to see how everything comes together. HELP!!!
