Tea Staining

Sometimes I feel sorry for my future daughters-in-law.  It’s going to be really hard for me to just sit back and let her plan her wedding.  After helping to organize and witness twelve years of wedding receptions, I have acquired many great ideas.

Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about that anytime soon.

This mom and bride had a lot of fun (maybe?  I didn’t ask) creating the centerpieces for the reception and social hour.  They brought a giant tub filled with all kinds off doilies and lace.  We had lot of fun using them all in the decor.

All of the centerpieces were made from colored coffee filters.  They dyed them pink and the brown ones are tea stained.

The vases were rented.  I just absolutely loved this simply, but elegant look.  I can’t help it.  I’m a sucker for doilies.  Does that make me weird?  Wait.  Don’t answer that.
