Today, Steve and I took a trip up to the IKEA in Sunrise, FL. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I adore IKEA and could walk around and enjoy all the pretties. Before we moved back to Miami, I would scour the catalog and envision how our home would look and our future children’s rooms and everything else. Naturally, I turned to their little accessories for reception ideas.
My vision for the reception is very loosely based in Asian design. Our invitations have orange and blue bamboo trees and leaves. I am toying with ideas of lucky bamboo or fortune cookies as the favors. A recent idea was little bamboo steamers or baby take out boxes filled with candies. The party will be really low key, but for centerpieces, I’m picturing lots of vases with floating candles and submersible lights. Today, I took the following pictures for inspiration and potential future purchases:
White round paper lanterns can have lights inside or not
Blue vases, 3 different sizes, for centerpiece groupings
Plant pots for low centerpieces. Since they’re white, I’m not sure how to use them.
White pots that are just super cool looking, centerpieces maybe?
Clear vase, 1 per table for rocks or shells and floating candles or something.
