While I applaud the creativity and variety in the beverages, do you happen to notice, as do I, the glaring absence of one or two very important food groups?
Now, I understand it is football, and tailgating, and we usually just do brats & beer, but if you have any suggestions for non-beverage, non-meat, non-bread food items, I would love your input! (Okay, pumpkin is a vegetable, and there will be pumpkin in the muffins or cheesecakes, so that probably completes the triangle, along with the cider and V8 in the bloody Mary's... Right?) 
PS ~ For anyone interested in a Northern Michigan destination wedding, this place would be phenomenal!
I already have an ivory wool coat, so I don't really NEED another one, but these three are too fabulous to omit from the official List. But, I need a little advice before picking one of the other three. First, does anyone have an opinion on the gold buttons on the red swing coat (top left)? I love the silhouette but I'm worried the buttons are too much. Second, the fuscia one, bottom center, is gorgeous, but I usually HATE that color! Any olive-y-skinned brunettes ever wear anything purple-y? 
The most amazing thing about this particular event, though, is that these two photos give no indication of the crazy fun this couple (and especially their groomsmen) had at their wedding. Check out the rest on Ira's website or at snippetandink.com. Incredible! 
I can envision a dramatic NYE tablescape centered around this idea.... I can't wait.
Anyway, so with the rest of the dried leaves, grasses, cattails and stuff, I was hoping to put together a fall centerpiece, but I've lost motivation. The dried things in the garage are starting to look a bit ratty and losing their color. So instead I might actually go to Michaels and buy a few things, like a bundle or two of dried hare's tail grass and some mum-like dried flower buds, and put them together with the few cattails we saved. Michaels' also has some giant ivory antique-looking ostrich feathers that would be gorgeous in that kind of arrangement. My only question is, what do I put all this stuff in? Here's the feeling I'm going for:
