Tapeo Restaurant & Tapas Bar
We are renting out the restaurant! We can't wait to have a delicious, festive reception at a fun, Spanish restaurant.
Photography
We plan on having an awesome photobooth at our reception for guests to take lots of silly pictures. Haven't made it yet, but this is our inspiration!
We bought this fabric (on sale!) to be the background for our photobooth. We both love how it looks like old-fashioned wallpaper.
Building our Photobooth
Here's some pictures of our photobooth in progress.
Centerpieces
We got 30 Moroccan lanterns with different colored glass (amber, blue, red, green) for a warm, cozy atmosphere. They will be lit up with flameless flickering LED votives.
These are some of the different styles we bought.

Favors
Pomegranates represent marriage in Greece, and are traditionally used at weddings. We will give each guest a pomegranate at the reception with a note about it's meaning to take with him. IF we are unable to get pomegranates (unfortunately with fruit you never know what you will be able to get that week), our back up is mangos, as they represent love.
Cake
We haven't picked a cake yet--probably will do that sometime in the fall. This is an example of a cake we love (from theknot.com). The square shape is so unique!
UPDATE! We decided to NIX the cake! I know, I know. Neither of us are big cake people though, and our menu actually comes with 3 different desserts. We're thinking about adding a mini cake, cheesecake or pie though (my fav dessert is key lime pie)...
UPDATE! We picked our menu and will include 2 choices of cake & flan for dessert. YUMMY!

Entertainment
We will have a guitarist, Tom Pendergast, play flamenco music during our cocktail reception.
After dinner, we will have a caricaturist do drawings of our guests.
