• Lime Lounge

  So there is this sad pool/fountain thingy at our site, directly adjacent to the dance floor.  We are not allowed to float anything in it.  My budget and the city say I cannot surround it with candles (even if in proper holders) since they’re kickable.

  I was just going to give up on doing anything in its vicinity (we’ve got the luxury of tons of space at our venue), but then a friend who got married last month had a great idea of purchasing some lounge furniture together from Ikea.  It ends up being cheaper than renting it from most companies around here.  We have yet to determine the fate of the furniture after our wedding is over.  In the meantime, it’s living in our living room.

  I present to you, The Lime Lounge [of course not as in the color]!
  
  Please note the following:
  - Imagine another square, white table next to the one that’s already there.
  - Imagine that big red circle (one of our placemats) is actually flowers, candles, or some other sort of centerpiece.
  - Ignore the two blonde wood, low side tables with random crap on them.  My friend’s outdoor garden wedding was a little more organic feeling, so she paired them as the coffee table.  We won’t be using them.
  - Please, please, please ignore the crap behind the sofa.  We’re still not quite completely unpacked yet, for shame.
  - Bonus points to the first who can spot how my crazy subconcious mind placed two, non-wedding-related items of my wedding colors together.

  All furniture is from Ikea.  I found these pillows, those pillows, and more pillows at CB2.  One word of warning – CB2′s “poppy” color is a red-orange that tends more toward the orange side.  I don’t care as the patterns and price were right.  Oh, and I plan on keeping these throw pillows to use around the house pre- and post-wedding, so they were worth spending $15-20 a pop on.

  Since the seating grouping will be so strategically placed near the dance floor, I’m hoping non-dancers and tired dancers can use it as a pit stop but still feel like part of the action.
