[...] It’s nice to be done with some of the stressful decisions like booking our vendors, because now we have many months to decide on the fun stuff! We’re having a lot of fun with the decision making, and I have to give Ryan a lot of credit for being incredibly involved and helpful. Rather than flowers, I think we’ll be using a lot of feathers for our decorations. Here’s a bit of our inspiration. [...]

Helen –
I actually rented these table cloths from a party rental company called Town & Country Rentals, so you might try checking with your local party rental places too.

They were pretty large – 90″ rounds – because they’re displayed on tall cocktail tables and the linens went all the way down to the floor to hide the table legs. (90″ rounds would also work for standard 6″ round tables as well)

Keyda –
Glad you like the centerpieces! Sorry the colors were a little different – sometimes they display differently on screen, and the backyard was a little shady in these pictures so that could be what’s causing the color change. In “real life” the feathers were close to a true aqua/turquoise shade :)

The feather trees are gorgeous! I also love the zebra print table cloth shown in one of the photos. Where did you buy it from? Also, what kind of material was it and what were the dimensions? I am thinking of buying some fabric and making it myself if I can’t find a ready made one to buy.

I love your sense of style. I ordered the aqua feathers from fabulous feathers. They appear a lot lighter (like a turqouise to baby blue) than the ones featured on your site which appear darker, almost like a light to royal blue.

Hi Huma –
Yes – I’d go a little smaller with the feather size for cocktail table arrangements – but definitely keep the vases tall. I used the 12-16″ ostrich drab size for the New York event with 20″ and 24″ vases.
