Things I'm loving, part 1

I spotted these on the knot. In the first pic, the "just married" sign is SO CUTE and I would TOTALLY love to have something like that for our chairs. Anyone think they're crafty enough?

In the second pic the faux chandelier crystals make for such fabulously classy escort cards, and I can see them hanging from a little tree (faux made out of branches or real). I've seen some other cute escort card ideas, but these really blew me away.

This of course also demonstrates my typical battle: balancing the cute with the classy, since I love both. NOT EASY! Another example of this ongoing struggle is themes: to have or not to have? To give names to the tables or just use generic numbers? Names can be cute and personal but also ridiculous (ex do you really want to look back at your wedding day and have the tables named after your old pets?), numbers are classy but also impersonal. Though this faux crystal idea might have solved that, since it's just so damn classy.

FYI you can register on the knot even if you're not a bride to be yet. You can even register as my BM ;)
