Site: Foster City Recreation Center, Lagoon Room, Foster City.
Theme: Board games - see below for detail on the table names.
Colors:
Cobalt blue and light blue.
Colors: (From the Simple Silhouettes dress site):
"Marine blue" or Cobalt blue: groom's tie, bridesmaids' dresses
"Aqua blue": groomsmen's ties, accents (sashes, bows) on bridesmaids' dresses
Wedding Site:
Here is the wedding site - the Lagoon Room at the Foster City Recreation Center
(undecorated):
This picture is the front of the room.
Decor Pieces provided by site: (see also the handout we have):
* Chairs - provided by site. They are white folding chairs. Do we want to rent chair covers?
* Tables - provided by site. See handout with #s of tables and sizes
* Stage - provided by site - we plan to put this at the front of the room in front of the windows pictured above. At least bride, groom, and officiant will stand on this. and also wedding party perhaps.
* benches outside room
* coat rack, etc
Decor and Flowers needed:
Top priority - bridal party personal flowers:
* Bride's bouquet (with blue in it) -- note - idea to potentially just carry a rose instead. cheaper?
* bridesmaids' corsages - or simple bouquets? (3) - primarily white because the bridesmaids will be wearing blue dresses
* Groom's boutonniere
* groomsmen's bouts. (3)
* 2 father bouts (Solveig's dad and Dave's dad)
* 2 mother corsages (Dave's step-mom and Dave's mom)
* corsage for Pat (officiant)
* bout for Miguel (MC)
* corsage for Julie (planner)
* potentially - flowers for Dave's brothers if they are going to be ushers... - (3)
Other floral or decoration needs:
- Decoration for the front of the room. Curly willow branches in vases were suggested - although it sounds like this is too bland for the room.
- Decoration for the gift table
- Decoration for the guest book table
- Decoration for the cake table
- Centerpieces - these don't need to be floral. Remember to bring the example vase with me to florist appts. Potted plants? One rose?
Cobalt blue vases (need to buy the vases, though):
* We will have the tables named by board games -- signs on each centerpiece will have a picture of a board game box and name of the game - guests find their name on place cards or a name board and find their table.
- Flowers on the chairs?
Other Decorations:
- Red carpet aisle runner leading up to the front (needs to be rented or bought) - Michael's has aisle runners I just learned from yelp.
- Tablecloths (white) -will be rented
- tableware, silverware, glasses, etc - will be rented form Exquisite Rentals
Other space decor ideas:
* Wisteria? I saw wisteria on the Rockridge public library last week - not sure from where it would hang. This picture actually looks like it was taken at that library but it came from wikipedia:
* apple blossoms. I love flowering apple trees but I don't know if they would still be flowering in late April. Maybe the vases above could be curly willow and apple blossoms on branches?
Ideas for types of flowers:
* Blue hydrangeas (are they expensive)?
* purple veronica?
* deluxe light blue tweedias (from the knot book)
* spiky blue thistle -- in this picture: looks like cobalt blue kind of.
I actually really like this bouquet. maybe I should just go for that.
and this bouquet:
from the knot:
Megan carried a lush bouquet of hydrangeas, roses, and green berries.
The Sides of the Room:
* This is the right side (as you walk into the large space and turn to the right)
.This is the left side -- there will also be reception tables here (these barriers shown will not necessarily be there)To the left in this picture is the area for the bar (where people can come and grab drinks after the ceremony and before the reception, before they go outside and greet the bride and groom).
This is where we are talking about having the buffet tables (at the back).
Reception tables will be set up in the other portion of this area.
