{Bright Idea Thursday} SIMPLY DIY: Table Numbers

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! I had every intention of posting 5 more inspiration boards before Christmas but truth be told I got way too busy with holiday celebrations and moving! So back to the grind now with regular blog posts!! I thought what better way to get back into the regular blogging schedule then with a DIY idea that I absolutely adore. It's also kind of a coincidence because this evening I met with one of our 2013 couples and the bride was telling me how each table will have a picture of a different historic Savannah square in it. I love the idea of having table numbers/markers that don't necessarily use numbers... why not play up your tables with names of historic squares of the town you're getting married in, or you + your fiance's favorite bands or movies, or places you've been together, or why not have a family member or friend draw your table numbers like those psychedelic table numbers by the terrariums drawn by the father of the bride?? There are endless possibilities of how you can make your reception decor more personalized and unique without spending a lot of money and I think this is the perfect way. Anyway, here are some of my favorite ideas... Enjoy!

{Bright Idea Thursday} Plaid-Checkers-Gingham-Stripes

What is the difference between plaid, gingham and checkered?

And what is a Tartan?

Well, we must refer to Wikipedia on this one : )

Plaid (pattern) is also used as a synonym for tartan or, in the USA, any checked cloth pattern.
Gingham is a medium-weight balanced plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarn.^[1]The name originates from an adjective in the Malay language, ging-gang, meaning striped.^[2]
A check is a pattern consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical bands in two or more colors in woven cloth.
Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours.
Pin stripes are a pattern of very thin stripes running in parallel found in cloth.

I love the idea of combing stripes with checkers, but you have to make sure not to go overboard with all the patterns. Plus you should stick with a color scheme: Black and white is very popular. Also navy or green are good choices. Make sure if you choose one color, that you keep it monochromatic (Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue) or if you choose two colors, that they go well together.

I've put together a few collages of different ideas and styles. You could go for a retro look, classic, or preppy depending on which style fits you the best.

Choosing your style invitations is a very important decision since it sets the stage for your wedding. If you going for a formal event consider this nice plaid design. Or if you are planning a whimsical informal event check out this wonderful company Tear Drop Weddings .
