Hello Bees –

Hopefully my picture was attached correctly to this post…

My Mom and I went to the rental showroom this weekend to look at rentals for our wedding (I am determined to get the big stuff done early!).

I noticed this table as soon as I walked in and fell in love. Initially I wanted a more country theme to our wedding, plaid overlays and strawbale couches. Then I saw this…

I really, really like it.

Problem is I showed the picture to my Fiance and he doesn’t like it AT ALL. He thinks it’s too over the top for our barn reception, he thinks renting anything other than a simple table, tablecloth and chairs is over the top.

I see his point but I want our reception to have that beautiful feel, like upscale country autumn. I have large mason jars that will hold our centerpieces, would they clash?

I’m having serious doubts at this point.

The rental place says I can change anything and everything right up until the day they deliver, so I have plenty of time. My fiance usually rolls with everything, he normally just smiles and nods with any wedding decision I make so the fact that he mentioned this as bothering him has really gotten to me.

What would you do?

I think it would be perfect for a fall barn wedding. The contrast between rustic and elegant provides a lot of interest. But, in the end, this is something about which you and your Fiance will have to come to some agreement.

I personally think the overlay is too much for a barn/ country reception as you described it, and I do think the mason jars will look odd with the overlay as well…just my honest opinion. I think it would look better with just the table cloth or tablcloth and a runner. I am sure you will love whatever you guys decide to go with.

Thanks everyone for your replies and help!

I think I got caught up in the sparkle Wink

We may ditch the overlay entirely and go for a solid color tableclothe with the same china.

I agree with PP, dont get the overlay. Everything else I think will look good, including the mason jars.
