The Decor
The package we selected includes linens, as well as the ceiling lights/drapings (seen to the left). We plan to have navy tableclothes with white underlay and napkins, and white chair covers with tan sashes.
The Floral
We wanted simple centerpieces with minimal flowers, so we decided to go with floating candle/flowerhead centerpieces for our guest tables. We plan to use clear lily bowls with tan riverstones, with floating white candles and white rose heads.
On our sweetheart table, and on cocktail tables, we'll have tall glass cylinders, with floating white rose petals and floating white candles. The fishbowl rose arrangements will get reused at the reception for the lobby tables (escort cards, guest book, etc.).

There will be a sign on the guest book table explaining what we did, as well as a basket with lavendar ribbons on cards, to symbolize cancer awareness. Guests can take these cards at their discretion.
