Seating card inspirations
I still don’t know what I am gonna do with our seating cards. But I’ve collected a few inspirations and here they are! Which do you like best?
Let’s start with nautical-inspired ones:

Seaside-inspired:

I’ve been back and forth with the idea of using nautical-themed seating cards or the classic style in our color motif, navy.

World’s Best Paid Cities
It is known that NYC employees rank high when it comes to salary. But I always think that we earn what we earn because of the high cost of living in the city. So in the end, New Yorkers don’t really have more. But I was wrong.
After reading Forbes’s article on best paid cities in the world, I was surprised to learn that NYC is the 3rd city with the most purchasing power.
- Zurich, Switzerland
- Geneva, Switzerland
- New York, New York
- Dublin, Ireland
- Luxembourg
- Copenhagen, Denmark
- Los Angeles, California
- Oslo, Norway
- Helsinki, Finland
- Miami, Florida

Bouquet Trial #1: Hydrangea
To save money, we’re planning to DIY bouquets… kinda like “create your own bouquet” thing 
. I think my bridesmaids are willing to do their own 
. I don’t know exactly what flowers I like to use, but I’m definitely using white ones.
First up is hydrangea. I got the hydrangeas from the NYC flower district for $10/6 bunches. I only used 5 which was about a foot in diameter altogether, 6 bunches were too big for me. Of course I had to use the knot on the handle too!
I love the fullness of the hydrangeas. But since a bunch is too big, the stem is too thin. I like my bouquet to have a thicker handle. Maybe I could just wrap it more with the knot to thicken it. However, I’m still not sure what style I like to use for the ribbons/knots for the handle.
It cost me just a little less than $11 including tax to create this bouquet:
Hydrangeas (5 bunches) = $10 / 6 bunches
1 1/2″ Satin ribbon (1 yard) = $15.99 / 50 yards – you can get this cheaper at PaperMart.com
Knot (2 yards) = $5.50 / 10 yards
Next up, I’ll be trying on carnations. They’re inexpensive and when bunched together, they somehow create the same effect and fullness.
