I love this stuff

I got to decorate my cousin's rehearsal dinner. He wanted it in his grandparents' backyard, which was a lovely place to be. The pictures aren't the best, because I didn't try that hard to take great ones (darn me!). Also, the effect is a little "off" because it's daylight in the photos and the twinkly lights and candles aren't lit.

Since I was decorating on a budget (per my aunt's request), I was able to explore ways of decorating that I hadn't really considered before. By that, I mean I stole these flowers from over my neighbor's fence. The twigs were on clearance, and something I've decided to use in my own flower arrangements around the house once my neighbor's tree blooms some more!

The main table

Another Table

The back corner of the yard. The fence and trees were strung with lights. The "B"s stand for "Best Friends!" Just lying, the stand for their new, shared last name. I hung them all over.

Another table, also strung with lights.

The view from the table with the pink umbrella. The patio area with the tulle going up the posts was also covered in lights.

Anyway, ya know, it doesn't look as pretty in the middle of the day as it did at dusk. I'm happy with my work, though. Such a fun thing to do. If you know anyone who wants a party decorated, let me know! I'm amassing quite the supply of decorations and I love to share.
