For the first table, we used a runner made out of gauze and chicken wire, a bevy of vases as the centerpiece, and had an egg caddy filled with sweet treats.  For the guests’ favors, we had little boxes made out of stiffened muslin fabric, topped with the star anise. They turned out to be one of our favorite details of the day!

The second reception shot incorporated several more details.  We knew we wanted to feature the mantle of the fireplace.  We used roofer’s edging to make the L + L (Lydia + Levi), and added a few sprigs of stock to soften the contrast.  Then on the shelf, we added a row of books covered in fabric that had the wedding date stamped onto it.
