{wedding wednesday} cafe lights.

since the moment we decided on the hotel monaco alexandria i had always envisioned cafe lights (also known as, bistro lights or cantina lights), strung across the brick courtyard, that will host our cocktail hour and allow guests fresh air and a place to relax through out the night.  those perfectly proportioned little clear globe lights strung in european cafes, just add so much sparkle and class i can't help but to drool over them.  though matt and i both agree cafe lights aren't a top priority in our wedding budget, i am keeping every finger and toe i have crossed that we can find room for these in our budget. until then here are some of the fabulous images i gaze at longingly.
