Question by ☼ lovethesun11: What are the BEST BOOKS, MAGAZINES and WEBSITES that would show me WEDDING and RECEPTION DECORATIONS/ IDEAS?
I already know about theknot.com and weddingchannel.com (searched them over again and again — The Knot has some great stuff with Real Weddings that has helped me out) and I have been looking at Brides, Elegant Brides, Modern Bride, etc. They all seem to focus more on the dresses and rings and not on decorations or reception ideas.
We are having an outdoor summertime evening wedding next year and we want it to be in between formal and informal. I was thinking of a country (but not gingham check tablecloths and sunflowers) and sunset theme (idea from a YahooAnswers buddy…Thanks Miss D!!).
Do you know of any books, magazines, websites that would for sure have ideas for what I am talking about or anything you think might have some ideas?
If so, I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Search for your local florist, i.e. if your wedding will be in Sacramento, type Sacramento florist. Look for the true local florists., then go to the wedding category. There should be lots of pictures where you can get ideas for your wedding decorations and set-up. Or you can go to the local florist – they have a lots of books that you can browse from – books by John Henry, Teleflora and FTD.
check this out – www.amfilflorist.com and go to the wedding category.

Don’t know if these are “for sure” web sites, but hope these will help with some nice ideas. I got them by googling “informal wedding reception ideas” — you may find more the same way, either there or with other search engines. My husband and I did a similar reception and topped off the night with a *HUGE* bonfire for our younger friends (we were lucky enough to have a private property where we could do this) until about 3:00 a.m. Everyone agreed it was the best wedding they’d every been to!!
Good luck with yours!
