Basic to Bodacious…And, It’s All Beautiful: Table #4
In the most recent — Summer/Fall 2011 — issue of Real Weddings Magazine, we teamed with pros Katie Edwards of Ambience Floral Design and Lora Ward of A Day to Remember Wedding & Event Planners to create four tabletop designs on four totally different budgets to give you an idea of what things cost. The results were nothing short of spectacular!
Last week, we featured more pictures and detailed the cost of Table #3, our Delish Details tablescape. This week, we feature our final table — Table #4, our Beautifully Bodacious tablescape.
“Completely customized,” is how Ward describes our Table #4 Beautifully Bodacious design, which swapped out a house round table for a square style. Upgrades to this tablescape include rented Chiavari chairs which feature
gray chair covers with eggplant accents shimmery table linens. Other touches include upgraded silverware;
silver-rimmed glassware; round custom-designed menu cards placed in the center of the plates; custom-designed name place cards and “Mr. & Mrs.” placards; and jeweled silver buckle napkin rings.
“Adding a double centerpiece makes it lush,” says Edwards of the high-low centerpiece design which includes orchids, tulips, hydrangeas and jasmine vine. Table #4′s design costs about $1,043 to $1,118 per table. “It’s
just opulent and detailed,” Edwards says. “It’s lovely.”
MIX AND MATCH
Edwards and Ward both agree that your décor isn’t an all-or-nothing approach. All four of these table designs have elements that can be interchanged. “You can mix and match all of these,” says Ward. ‘The key is determining what you like and how you want to spend your money.”
They advise to build on your design one touch at a time. “We brought in little details,” says Edwards. “Adding the salad plate elevated the visual appeal of the table a lot.” They also advise to make sure your overall décor suits your personal style and complements the other details of your wedding food and entertainment your big day fit within your budget.

Basic to Bodacious…And, It’s All Beautiful: Table #3
In the most recent — Summer/Fall 2011 — issue of Real Weddings Magazine, we teamed with pros Katie Edwards of Ambience Floral Design and Lora Ward of A Day to Remember Wedding & Event Planners to create four tabletop designs on four totally different budgets to give you an idea of what things cost.

The upgrades to this table are the eggplant-colored sashes on the white chair covers used in table number two; gray swirled-patterned overlay to top each table; upgraded clear charger plates with silver edges; eggplant-colored Champagne glasses; and rented salad plates rimmed in silver to accent the house china.
Custom-designed menu cards are in silver frames, and the hurricane centerpiece is now in a stand with the floral arrangement of orchids, tulips and hydrangeas on the surface of the table.
“It’s a very lush piece at the base and the elevated hurricane on the top of the stand has a spray of cymbidium orchids submerged under water,’ says Edwards.
Here are the detailed costs for this table’s upgrades:
White chair cover with eggplant sash rentals: $3 each, eight chairs totalling: $24
Gray swirled-patterned overlay rentals: $18 each

Basic to Bodacious! And, It’s All Beautiful!
In the most recent — Summer/Fall 2011 — issue of Real Weddings Magazine, we teamed with pros Katie Edwards of Ambience Floral Design and Lora Ward of A Day to Remember Wedding & Event Planners to create four tabletop designs on four totally different budgets to give you an idea of what things cost. The results were nothing short of spectacular!
In the coming weeks, we’ll feature more pictures from each of the tables, and detail the cost of each of the four tables. First up, table #1, our Beautifully Basic tablescape.
The attention-grabber of table number one is a simple centerpiece featuring a hurricane vase filled with an eggplant-colored ribbon bow-tied around an ivory-colored pillar candle and surrounded by scattered pink, peach, lavender and yellow rose petals and accented with small votive candles.
“It has a little bit of color and a little bit of details,” says Edwards. This classically-simple table design uses all “house” linens and china, which means these elements are provided by the venue at no additional cost.
“This table will cost anywhere from $25 to $35,” says Ward. “The table is budget-friendly; looks clean and uses house everything for the basics.”
The cost for this table is incurred by adding the hurricanes, candles and rose petals. Total cost: $25 to $35 per table.

Dynamite Weddings’ January Bridal Mixer
Jasmine, Carie and Heather from Dynamite Weddings
We recently had the honor of being a part of the Dynamite Weddings‘ January Bridal Mixer at The Citizen Hotel. And what fun it was! Not only did we get to hang with some of our favorite wedding vendors, but we got to chit-chat with some pretty cool brides-to-be (along with their friends, moms and actually one dad — love that!).
While the Dynamite Weddings’ Bridal Mixers give brides the opportunity to interact with local area wedding vendors, it also gave them the opportunity to learn more about that evening’s educational topic, What Weddings Really Cost, compiled with input from Dynamite Weddings’ Dynamite Vendors. Not to mention, brides (and all of the rest of us!) got to nosh on the tasty delights from the chefs at The Citizen Hotel and the fabulous dessert goodies from wedding-cake-designer and pastry chef extraordinaire Carissa Jones from Sugar and Spice and…
Needless to say, a good time was had by all! Check out these photos from the fun affair (courtesy of The Memory Journalists) and the highlight video from Phill Sheffield of Sheffield Multimedia.
