Ceremony Decor
I made two pink peony topiaries to flank the sides of the fireplace mantel. I'll also have candles (pillar and votive) around the fireplace.

I plan on decorating giant moss covered letters (FI and I's initials and an ampersand: C & B) and placing them on the mantel.
Reception Decor
We're going to hang pink, green, and white paper lanterns in various shapes above the dance floor area. I purchased paper lantern lights from save-on-crafts.com to hang inside the lanterns to illuminate them.
Here is a photo of our reception venue with paper lanterns in almost our colors. I want our lanterns to be hung closer together than these though.
The lantern lights arrived! Here is how they look with the lanterns!
To give you an idea of how the lights light up the lanterns...
Pink lantern is 12"
White lantern is 14"
Green lantern is 16"
UPDATE:
I did some battery tests with the lantern lights to see how long they would last. Here are my results:
Cheapo Dollar Store Sunbeam: 3 hours
Duracell: 7.5 hours

In my area, to rent a chair cover and sash it is $3.50 per chair. I decided to buy my own chair covers and sashes in an effort to save some money. I plan to sell the chair covers and sashes after the wedding.
I purchased 140 white banquet chair covers, 140 pink satin chair sashes, and a 120 inch pink tablecloth from Linen Tablecloth.
