One of the pros (or maybe it's a con, I haven't decided yet) of a
long engagement is having all the time in the world to make a decision. A
lot of my ideas have kind of morphed and evolved over time. One of the
less important details, but one I can't stop thinking about right now is the table
numbers.

Before we even chose our venue I was looking at table numbers and centerpieces.

I've
looked at millions of inspiration photos, but my favorite so far has
been the "Through the Years" table numbers that Mrs. Jellyfish created:
I'm ridiculously sentimental and a photo lover so for a while I was pretty content to
steal this entire idea start to finish and be done with it. Then one
day while I was stalking looking at pretty pictures
of my venue on Facebook my eyes landed on this:

Okay I know that looks very simple and
uninspiring, but stay with me! The candelabras shown in the photo come with our venue and we've decided to use them for our centerpieces. I know they are going to overpower
the table so we really don't need anything complicated for the table
numbers. And the more I started to think about these luminaries, the
more my options seemed to expand. Soon I found myself collecting
inspiration photos like these:

There are so many ways to make this
simple table number idea unique and awesome!
And so, my first DIY idea has been born. I am so excited to get started on it and I realllllly hope it turns out the way I envision it.
I'm still toying with a few different ways of implementing it, but
you can definitely expect to see a mock-up from me soon. I'll
probably try a few versions until I find one I like. I have been
thinking about going with a simple round luminary and flanking each
side with a photo of us at that age in a silver frame. Or I might
go with that last inspiration photo up there, but I'm not sure how
much of a pain it's going to be to convert all the photos to black
and white and print them on the vellum. Hmmmm.....
Did any of your details change for the
better the longer you thought about them?
