Update
I did end up making some minor revisions. The menu, I decided to place in Ikea Tolsby frams. The napkins, I opted for a fancy french looking pleat, and my favors now look a little different. I also found out that because the bride getting married the evening of my date is using Chivari chairs, I will get to have the above chairs for my event too! I couldn't be more excited about that!
So here's how it will all look!
I stopped by my venue and luckily, there was an event going on this afternoon and they had round tables all set up for the luncheon. I was able to play with my table design and see, once and for all, what it will all look like once its all put together. I was also able to see other areas set up, like the buffet area, and lounge areas where we will be "getting ready". Here's how my tables will look.
And one picture showing the entire layout of the space. I will not be needing 9 tables as shown here, only 6. However, this will allow room for a sweetheart table as well as dance floor and setup for the DJ.
Now to just convince Matt to go with the white chiavari chairs that I've been begging for!
The Tables!
That's it! I'm committed! I finally decided, selected and ordered my linens for my tables and now the tables have been designed! So here is how the concept will go....
First off, the chairs are going to be chivari (as shown above). The base linens will be white (as shown above, as well). I will then be getting charcoal grey crinkle taffeta overlays (square) which will look like this. . .

I then ordered beautiful silver chargers that will sit atop the charcoal grey to break up the dark.
I will then be ordering napkins (in green) and tuck a cute menu in it, like so....
And here is what the final layout will look like....
I will be recycling the centerpieces from my first, uh, family reunion and it will look like this...
And the final touch will be these square votives with floating candles that will be placed on the tables as well (appx 3-4 per table). This will round out my look. I'm very pleased with the final results!
