Welcome friends to Wedding Wednesday! I'm so excited to have you stop by, because this Wednesday, I need your help! Parker & I got a great deal on our reception venue, the Pitt County Shrine Club, since his dad is a shriner and the former PCSC President. It's in a great location, it is the perfect size, and did I mention it was very affordable? One small hitch in the giddy up is the look:
It's a bit... um, what shall we say... white? White walls. White floor. White ceiling. White chair covers. White table cloths. Creepy curtains. I mean it's not terrible and it is definitely a great starting point, which brings me to my plea for ideas. What can we do to bring it out of the eighties? Any great decorating ideas? Any ideas at all? A starting point perhaps??
Things to keep in mind:
- It's a pretty large space. This picture shows only half of the banquet room; however, behind the camera is almost a mirror image plus a stage.
- We need space for the dance floor. In the center? By the stage? Hmm...
- We need some color obviously.
- We want affordable decorations.
There won't be a poll question this week, but please leave your ideas in the comment section! I can't wait to hear what y'all come up with!
Here is a gorgeous reception setup that I love, but am willing to bet that Parker would disapprove of the "Carolina" theme. :) Plus, I can't find tablecloths like that anywhere.
[Sigh.] It's gorgeous isn't it?
Before I forget, last week's poll results - first place "Mr. & Dr. John Smith," second place "Dr. Ann & Mr. John Smith," and third place "Dr. Ann Smith & Mr. John Smith." Thanks for the input!
This will probably be the only post this week because I have 4 papers and 2 exams in 4 days. Yikes! My mom gets results from her brain scan on Thursday (please pray!) & Parker's meeting the realtor on Thursday for home inspections and such. I'll keep you sweet blog readers updated!
Without further ado... Ready, set, comment! :)

I totally love it! It looks so clean and fresh
We had a party awhile back and we used black/white polka dot tablecloths with white and red! Or you could use solid black long tablecloths with a white overlay or vice versa. Do you have an accent color you are using? I am sure some of the rental places have patterned tablecloths. to me it would look better than just all white everything!
You know I get into this wedding stuff, so I have to put my 2 cents worth in! ha!
Ms. Nancy - I agree with the patterned tablecloths completely! I love your ideas & always appreciate you're "2 cents" :)
