Another day, another decision done

Jinkies!  I think I know what to do! Potentially free venue.  Free?  Yes, thank you I will take two. 

It will be perfect (as long as I get the thumbs up).  Outside, by the lake, tables, chairs...all provided.  I would have to do centerpieces, food, music, flowers, etc.  I am making up my guest list and checking it twice.  That in itself is a challenge - who to invite, who not to invite, who, if I don't invite them, will never speak to me again?  I don't want the size to get out of control, but I swear my family alone is going to be 70 people!  I will enlist the help of the mystery bridesmaids once they are informed.  Which is going to happen soon.  I promise.  I plan on going out tonight to get two little things that will help me to announce to them my intentions.  Then it will be a super Skype-fest in order to get their opinions and for them to tell me, "Mattea, calm down.  Your eyes are bugging out of your head.  Freak."

Now that I have that little venue nugget tucked safely away in the protected part of my brain, it's time to focus on getting the "treasures" for centerpieces/decorations!!  I am enlisting everyone's help on this one.  I want little vases, glass jars, antique looking brooches.  Vases and (little) jars, preferably blue. Brooches in white or sparkly diamondy colors.  Oh oh, and lanterns - you know the kind that can hold candles (or fake candles).

Here are some pictures to help you understand what I need you to help me find:

Sounds exciting. Very happy for you. My cousin got married a few weeks ago and they did the same thing with mason jars and flowers. It was simply beautiful, simple. and inexpensive. Have fun planning
