Scratch That.

So instead of doing the super tropical look, I've decided that I really want to illuminate the tables. Yesterday, while browsing theknot.com, I ran across a bride's website, with pictures from her recent wedding. In the center of the table, she had a beautiful white lantern , surrounded by more candles and flowers. It looked beautiful, especially at night. See for yourself:

So I went ahead and ordered the lanterns today. Ed, my mom, and I immediately fell in love with them. I'll figure out what to do next once we get them...

Wedding cupCAKE

Since we're having a smaller wedding, we decided to skip the cake. We plan to order a cupcake tier from the Hokulani Bake Shop in Honolulu. Ed and I stopped by one day for a taste, and OMG- they are delicious! Below is an example of a cupcake tier from the shop (keep in mind, we won't be getting these color cupcakes):



And what wedding cake would be complete without the cake topper? Again, thanks to Etsy.com, I found these amazing toppers that we can customize based on our features and our wedding day attire!

Centerpieces

Here's an idea I got from a girl on projectwedding.com for our centerpieces. They're fairly inexpensive and quite tropical, which I was looking for. They also provide for more lighting since we're having an evening wedding outside. However, I don't like the square tealights, and I think I'm going to use more vibrant flowers. I've also thought about using bright runners on the table.
