Hi Toni -

My son is getting married in September of 2005, so I'm naturally " all ears "

(I guess it should actually be " all eyes " !).

Cinnamon and gold sounds beautiful for a Fall wedding. Fall leaves,

pinecones (which are sort of cinnamon-colored), and gold votive candles

would be beautiful. If people in your area have fireplaces, pinecone

fire-starters would be great favors. You could do labels that say, " Your

presence here today warms our hearts. Thank you for sharing our joy. "

Just an idea. Best wishes.

What about small candles (votive size) in a cinnimon color organza bag. Use a

FO that is unisex. When tieing the organza place a hang tag on it with " Thank

you for sharing our special day with us " ...or what ever. For the center peice do

something like this with cinnamon color flowers or even white carnatons or

daisies. There is also a flower called rover that comes in a bronze.

Here are a couple of photos just to give you an idea. I think the daisies would

look great a a fish bowl type vase.

one of the left over take home favors, the candle and soap in matching

colors and they kept one of the candles I also made, I will take pics of

them and send them, sorry for the delay in responding, it has been a bit

crazy here.

A lady on another list I am on just posted about a friends wedding she went

to! She talked about how much she liked their centerpieces and how cheaply they

were actually able to make them.

She said that they took fake flowers in the colors of the wedding and tied

the stems together with a tulle bow and just laid these in the center of each

table. She said that, on the 2 sides of the stems were votive holders with

candles in them in the main color of the wedding. She said that it was just so

pretty and that, she did not originally think it would be when she heard that

they did this.

She also said that, their favors were done just as I had done for my

wedding. I got potpourri in a scent that matched my color scheme. My colors

were fuschia, silver and white. We got a rose scented potpourri that actually

had silver in it and some of the items in it were a fuschia color (what luck,

huh?)! We cut out pieces of tulle, placed potpourri in the center, pulled the

tulle up around it, and tied it with thin ribbon matching our wedding colors,

with a tag we had printed out from the computer with our names and the wedding

date on them. These were taken QUICK!

Otherwise, if you have alot of women coming, how bout making small

single-use bath salts in the color of the wedding? Maybe cinnamon colored salts

(or close to that) wrapped in a golden hued baggy?

I also just did bubbles for my daughters' birthdays at school, and a friend

of mine is having me do them for her baby shower. I was able to get a package

of 12 of the small bubbles (the wedding sized ones) at the dollar

store!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can print a label for them with their information, than

add ribbons in their colors! If you can't find them in your area, let me know

and I can pick them up here and ship them to you!

You can also buy tulle here for 1.00 a yard, not sure what it is in your

area. Then you can dye it to match the wedding colors.

I LOVE using rose bowls (rented), metallic shredded easter grass, and water

with beads in the bottom of the rose bowl and a floating candle! These were our

center pieces for our wedding. We had a mirror tile (rented) with the metallic

easter grass on top of that (just mostly in the center) with a rose bowl

(rented)sitting on it, with the opalescent pebbles (rented) in it, with water

and a floating candle in it.

If you can get some cheap baskets somewhere, or borrow some, you can also

fill those with colored paper or such. If they are getting married in October,

then maybe there are some cinnamon colored and gold colored Christmas bulbs out

there that can be stacked in each basket and placed in the center of each table.

Anyways, sorry this was so long, lol. Hope you get TONS of ideas and good

luck with the wedding! Congrats toO!
