Black/White and..... Purple AND Platinum! Take that!
The restaurant we're having our dinner at has warm, golden wood floors and beams with brushed stainless fixtures for the lights. It has a 40's bit of vibe to it, and so I would love to figure out a way to it justice with our decor.
See the light.
Candles! What's better than candles? CHEAP candles! Like this set of 5 from Ikea for $7.99. *Does banana dance* Luckily, the restaurant doesn't require that candles be covered, so they'll be on a lovely silver plate from Ikea also (check it- $2.99!).
To Fabric, or Not to Fabric
Table runners. Dear.God. I had so much trouble deciding what to do about this, it was ridiculous. First, I wanted to have them, then I didn't, then I did... you get the idea. Anyway, after months of searching, attempts at rental, I finally found them. I didn't want to spend more than $5/yard for material that was just going to get eaten on. Joanns.com had what I wanted! It was fated though, since I had decided on a vine motif for our cake before I even saw this stuff. God, I am so AWESOME! *banana dances out*
