I am working on getting more experience in this field (I'm an artistic coordinator right now and want to switch to weddings) if you want to talk. Or get a good, trustworthy friend who is not in the wedding party to take care of these set-up tasks. The best wedding I went to was completely made by the bride and groom's friends and family - http://www.featherlove.com/blog/emily-royal-vancouver-washington/.

I handed all of these things over to the florist and the restaurant manager where we had the reception. They did not disappoint. I think the trick is to give them some directions but then remember not to be disappointed if things aren't done exactly like you want. I remember being surprised at how some things were handled but in a good way. No, everything wasn't placed exactly how I would have done it myself but I was having way too much fun to care. Lastly, I am your sister in law. I'm not in the wedding party and therefore, am not tied down by other responsibilities. I do have a decent design sense (ahem) so I'm happy to offer my services wherever I'm needed on the day of. Just a thought...Terehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416344927766660561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598110590573370398.post-55166841279448494482009-05-03T13:46:00.000-07:002009-05-03T13:46:00.000-07:00This is the exact problem my fiance and I are faci...This is the exact problem my fiance and I are facing..So far no solutions but I will let you know if anything comes up!Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598110590573370398.post-29504325675953903242009-05-02T17:45:00.000-07:002009-05-02T17:45:00.000-07:00the waitstaff or florist will put the flowers in t...the waitstaff or florist will put the flowers in the jars and set up the numbers. we'll either have them use the jars we saw at the venue, or drop off our own during the few days before. and by "we," i mean not you.<br /><br />i have been scheming on the ribbon flowers. it involves yardsticks and a few minor preparations at the site, again, during the couple of days before. super stealth, nothing to get torn down. whoever sets up the ceremony site that morning will be able to put them up. easy peasy.
