I was watching Get Married this morning and they were showing a quick montage of wedding images set to music. Most of the pictures passed without any reaction from me but I loved the candlelit altar as soon as I saw it. There was no credit associated with it and I could only get a picture by doing a screenshot. It looks like it could be easily replicated, even with my limited diy skills.

I love it because it’s elegant, dramatic and romantic all at once. My one concern is that it will still be light outside and it probably won’t have the same effect, especially if we end up with a ceremony site that has a lot of windows. I also like how it seems to perfectly frame the bride, groom and officiant. We’ll just have to be sure that we keep th open flames far enough away from us to avoid any fires.

I never really liked the arches with the ivy or flowers winding through it. I’d always had it in the back of my head that I wanted a defined altar space, but I didn’t know what I wanted it to look like. I think this just might work.

In the next post, I’ll outline my diy plan of attack. We’ll see if it comes in both cheap and elegant. Fingers crossed – it will.
