Laura contacted Just Be. a few months ago, she had already done her invitations but could not think of what she wanted for wedding decor. Her and her fiance, Jack, were having a green wedding so they did not want to do large floral centerpieces and they definitely wanted something unique. The more and more I learned about the couple, the more I could envision their big day. The first thing Laura, a speech teacher in Egg Harbor City, mentioned was that they were trying to keep everything "green" so I automatically thought to use "found objects". Then she mentioned that she wasn't too big on flowers so I thought about green & herbs. And finally she told me that everyone calls her fiance Shrek. From all of these different elements, we created the centerpieces you will see below. They have recycled old story books, wooden boxes, potted herbs, mason jars with berries, roses & fresh picked lilac and tons of candles. I wanted to achieve a romantic, rustic feel and I think it turned out great!
But take a look for yourself!

with smaller versions of the reception centerpieces.
The escort card display.
Laura ordered tea dyed tags from Europe
and wrote each guests name and table on them.
Then Just Be. created this display
for guests to take their cards from.
The favor explanation sign made by Just. Be.
To keep with the "green" theme,
Laura & Jack planted a tree in each of their guests' name
in lieu of a wedding favor. Such an awesome idea!
Their adorable cake topper!
The Sweetheart Table

Why have table numbers
when you can be so much more creative and make fun table names!
Laura & Jack did Shrek puns as their table names
and I am sure their guests enjoyed seeing
all the different ones they came up with.
Just Be. supplied birch logs as the card holder,
and check out the amazing paper the names are on. Woodgrain!
One of the complete centerpieces on the reception tables.
Rustic Red Roses to compliment the feel and theme on the day.
Fresh picked Lilac
provided a wonderful scent throughout the room.
And berries, always a fun touch to any flower arrangement.
Who doesn't love a mason jar?
Even if they aren't your personal style,
you can't deny the rustic beauty of them.
