i had all my friends and family collect empty jars in various sizes and shapes, and we made detachable wire hooks to hang them in the trees, then popped a tea light in each one. by daylight, they were barely visible, but when they were all lit {75 of them!} in the evening, the trees seemed to come alive. They were also jolly handy as we gave them out to people to help them find thier way across the field in the dark to thier cars, or to the road!! Now lots of our friends have a simple lantern or two on thier patios!! :)
This was another idea I really thought worked well. I made my own hairpiece, with an enormous pink rose {originally part of an artificial bouquet), surrounded it with white feathers {to match the feathery fairy lights in the marquee} and then glued the whole thing to a hair slide. Voila...instant flowers in the hair...and no worrying that the petals will fall off during the day!
Finally, because its me...and I'm one obsessive scrapper...I had to have scrapping at my wedding! We set up a table in one corner with all the prerequisite supplies, had an usher take a polariod photo of all the guests and then they were instructed to scrap the guest book at thier leisure!! It was a genius idea, because we had an instant scrapbook to look at first thing the next morning...and it was amazing how much people who don't normally scrap seemed to enjoy it. In fact, we even managed to convert a few people who ended up asking me for lessons!! muahahahaha ;)
