Here are some of the pictures from our reception...

One of the tables in the dining room.

Escort card pumpkins in keeping with the fall theme.

M&M Favor tins. I ordered thousands of brown and cream M&Ms...
we ate more than a few of these when we made them up.

The centerpieces, escort cards, candy favors and table numbers.

Our cake server, which was my other 'something borrowed'. This is the cake server from my parents wedding, and if you look closely, you can see their initials (MEG and JRV) and wedding date (5-10-75).

Our not-so-shy little ringbearer, Dylan.

More pumpkin escort cards.

Our cake, which was soooo yummy. The icing was dyed to match the bridesmaid dresses and even had the same ribbon that the bridesmaids wore. Our cake was alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla, with chocolate ganache between the layers and under the outside icing. We can't wait until our one-year anniversary so we can eat the rest of the top of our cake!

A close-up of the table numbers, which are actually tiny picture frames. Behind it is the centerpiece, which is filled with coffee beans and cream roses - everything was true to our color scheme.
