    So I think I've posted this, or something like this before but I'm still having trouble find great ideas to make my reception memorable. I'll give you an idea of what our reception site is like. Its a little restaurant called Crosswinds in Whitehall MI. Right on a Lake called Whitelake that channels out inbetween to peirs and a lighthouse (where me and my FI got engaged) out into Lake Michigan. Theres a deck and a marina right outside the restuarant where alot of travelers keep their sail boats. Whitehall is where my FI is from and across the Lake is a little town called Montague where I'm from. I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful location and me and my FI really are trying to keep our wedding personal.

    We have about 150-200 guests. A low low budget and a Italian theme. I'm trying to be as crafty as possible but not so crafty that its gets forgotten or looks cheap. Does anyone know of anything that I could do to take what I have and just add the WOW factor to it??? Thanks AGAIN! I've been posting ALOT lately! =)

    What exactly are you looking for? Are you getting married on the dock? Reception inside? What are your colors? Do you have a dress?

    Well we are getting married in our families church. I have my dress. Big and princess like. Its reminds me alot of Bells from beauty and the beast but white. My colors are Tiffany blue, white and chocolate brown. The reception is inside.

    I dont. I really wish I did. I've been searching everywhere online and google images to find some pics since its been about a month since Ive seen the place. Its not big but has lots of windows for good veiws of the water. Im thinking of doing alot of candles to really enhance the romantic feel. Its an older building and one thing that bugs me a little is he ceilings are not very high. I just want to perk the place up and add some personal touches.

    Your table numbers could be italian words instead, printed in your tiffany blue--words like amor, bella, etc

    You could use mini vespas as centerpieces, too, these are tiffany blue:

    I don't really know what else, I'm bad at this italian theme! Hope I helped a little bit!

    Also, you can use draping and having a cookie table at the reception.
