Dressing Up Your Napkins: Jamali Garden

I love Jamali Garden. They have the best accessories for your tables and other event decor. They have a lovely selection of napkin rings that will dress your napkins up nicely. Get yours here.

Too Good for Flowers: Waterford Crystal

I personally think that these vases may be too good for plain ol' flowers. What do you think? See the entire collection at Waterford.ie.

Whole Lotta Love in One Vase: J. Mendicino

This is the most darling vase from J. Mendicino. It's called the sweetheart vase and sweet it is. See the entire collection here.

The Multi-Vase Flower Decor: CB2

These are too cute. I love 'em. If you are having a more modest reception but want something that is modern with great clean lines, then this is it. I particularly like the round set. Get your at CB2.

The Beauty of the Lantern: West Elm

This is so beautiful. It would make a gorgeous centerpiece on your reception tables. Get it at West Elm.

The Perfect Reception - Glenn Griffith, Inc

Here are some wonderful receptions from Glenn Griffith, Inc. I really loved the olive green setting but the ice luminaries blew me away. That was beyond creative. It looked amazing! That is my kind of event planner. See more at Glenn Griffith, Inc.

Setting the Perfect Table

If you are looking to set a beautiful table, you can start with these Iittalla Bottna plates from Fitszu.com. This design was created by Anna Danielsson in 2002 for Marimekko. Don't you just love Marimekko. I really love the big, bold leaf graphic and the crispness of black and white.

Lighting the Way - Jamali Garden

Jamali Garden has some of the most unique candles and candle holders around. You can always look there for something special for your table settings. I especially love the antiqued glass hanging votives. See more on their web site.

My Idol - Colin Cowie

There isn't anyone in the wedding industry that I admire more than Colin Cowie. He is my hero. He wants you to create an amazing affair on any budget and he gives some fantastic tips on how to do so. I wholeheartedly agree. I believe that if you are going to DIY, do it with style. Visit his web site for inspiration and wonderful tips.

He has also written two amazing books, For the Bride and For the Groom. These are a must read. His words are thoughtful and carefully chosen. He really made me think differently about marriage.

So I was happy to see that he now has a lovely set of accessories on HSN. Here are my favorites for a gold-inspired affair - get everything at HSN:

Dahlia Candle Holders - Gump's

These are so pretty and would make a lovely statement to an all-white table setting. Pick some up at Gump's San Francisco.
