Often I think about my own wedding that occurred 2 years ago (will be 3 years in August) and I think, “Gosh, I wish I could do it all over again.”  Part of me wishes to experience those feelings of marrying my best friend again; the whoosh of emotion and overwhelming happiness, the feeling like you’re literally floating on air, the feeling of being the only two people left in the world with everyone else blurry in the background, and then at the same time being surrounded by all of our close friends and family and feeling so loved.  We talk about renewing our vows (I’ve even thrown out the idea of renewing them every anniversary – heck, if Seal and Heidi Klum do it, why can’t we?), but you could never get back those same exact feelings of that day again.  Then there’s the whole “designer” in me that wants to get married all over again; going crazy coming up with color combinations, reception themes, table decor, favor ideas… ya, maybe it’s better that we don’t go there again.

Thankfully, one of my favorite blogs, Once Wed, has an amazing series called “Table Trends,” where different guest designers take a theme and decorate a table setting based around it.  The textures and colors frequently end up printed out in my “inspiration sketchbook” and are very eclectic and unique.  Since each Table Trend is created by a different designer, each table setting has it’s own personal style.  I’m always surprised by the different ideas people use, using ordinary items in ways that make such beautiful decorations.  I may not be getting married again, but I love checking out Table Trend postings and am looking for an excuse to throw an elegant dinner party of my own!
