Question
Hello!

My wedding is coming up soon...as in May 31st!  And I need some ideas for decorating the reception site.  My colors are red, black and possibly an accent color.  I recently saw a reception on television that had black table cloths, with a red overlay.  And then some kind of centerpiece.  I really liked how it looked.  My flowers are going to be tulips to celebrate the time of the year (since my colors don't really represent the spring season!  but I like them anyhow)  Do you have any creative/inexpensive ideas for centerpieces that would work with this?  Also, I'm going to be traveling from Alaska to Montana for the wedding and would like to be able to order everything online and have it shipped there if possible...even the flowers.  Also, the site is pretty much an open palette...just a big open room with round tables and folding chairs.  Its a pretty broad question, I realize....but any ideas would be appreciated!

Answer
Hello
A flower bouquet with a couple red and black balloons would be good, another idea would be some black vases with red roses.
Your names in large Styrofoam letters on the wall, some decorations with a wedding motif or maybe a symbol representing something you both like to do, lots of balloons, 2/3 red and 1/3 black.
I´d like to go and organize your wedding !
