center pieces. tree branches (thanks cry and shawn!) they let me cut down their trees from n.s and i drove them all to n.b. why? did YOU see the snow we have?! i ain't crawling through snow up to MY knees to get branches! then i used scraps of flower petals and glued em on. easy-peasy. i was going to use paper flowers but they didn't look right, then i was going to make tissue paper ones but that was too much work. besides "garbage" is free! then i wrapped the branches is bright green grassy stuff from the $ store then rocks to weight them down in the bottom. voila. cheap center pieces
tables set and ready to go
set table. the tea light holders i scored at jysk for .25 each!

the amazing non-stop dessert table!
the mile long food table!
we also did a photo booth. so. much. fun!i grabbed a bunch of props (minus the furs!!!) from around the house, then the ladies dressed up and chris took pics of them. i will post those later. chris has to upload them first! i was a wee bit nervous to see if this whole photo booth would fly, it was kinda out of the box for a ladies potluck but growing and going out of your zone of comfort is never easy! right!!! it was a success!
chris. our photographer. who i must give a HUGE shout out to. chris worked ALL day finishing his friend's basement. then he ran home, showered and changed and left for the church to take pics. he was SO good about it. he was EXHAUSTED! then he came back at 9:30 to help me tear down and clean up. seriously. how amazing is this guy! 
full house baby! wheeeee! we had a extra table all ready to go if we needed it. and we did! i am not sure of the final count yet but the turn out was GREAT! it was fun. and the video comedy was FUNNY.

Wow! Awesome job on the decor...simple, cheap yet classic and chic!
I so would have done the photo booth, but I could see where you had trepidation...I'm glad they got out of their comfort zone and had fun!
so wish i had been able to attend...but with ben with a new job...working shifts etc...and one car and not wanting to leave the kids alone again (we went to Stephen Curtis Chapman concert on Wed) felt it would be way to many hours for my boys to be home alone again...so glad you posted for me to see...thank you...looks beautiful...you did a great job as always...you are awesome!! love you
