The entrance... This fence was used at my wedding my cute
hubbie built it for us. For the dinner I painted it white and we hung these cute tea lanterns that we found at Target in the Dollar Section, we couldn't use real candles so we found these battery powered ones 2 for $1 at Dollar Tree they worked great. The chalk board is from our toy room it is an
IKEA board that I found at DI for $5.
