its going to look great

I've come to the conclusion after looking around at lots of flower inspiration its impossible for them to look bad. I mean if you get flowers you like you can't go wrong mix a few different flowers together or get lots of the same and bunch than all together. I admit i do like the loss more informal flowers best but flowers are pretty so its hard to go wrong.

I'm not doing a practice run of mine until closer to the date, so I'm practicing with whats in session for the wedding, but I'm looking forward to it, I think this will be a fun project.

So more inspiration.

Decorations

So I'm almost finished with the vases and I've been thinking about decorating the space behind our lolly bar. haven't decided if I defiantly want to decorate it or not yet, not sure if it will be to much or create a cool feature within the space.

1st the space - on the raised section, so we have quick a bit of space, the area is rather deep - space we aren't likely to need or use.


1st idea is to have multi-coloured ribbons randomly hanging from the roof uneven and deep. I think this might be a bit wasteful, I'd need a huge amount of ribbon to make this look good, and I'm not sure what I'd ever do with that much ribbon ever again.

2nd options - this is my favourite idea, to have a few fabric flowers garlands hanging vertically from the roof on string. Again hanging them from unevenly using the depth in the space.

You can buys these on Etsy, personally I'd be making them, Martha Stewart has how too for a few different flower styles that could be mixed and matched. I wouldn't need a huge amount and it would be a really fun project, but material is expensive. A friend had earlier in the process offered to help with material and I had thought if they had off cuts we could use for free to create the flowers - however I'm not sure they will have the kind of colours will need, and the budget isn't going to allow for material.

3rd options - Paper garlands, as seem during the pop up wedding. we love the idea of creating a thick curtain of hanging paper garlands.

I'm just a bit worried that if we do something with our colours will be a bit strongh and overwhelming, our colours are so bright and dark in bulk like this it colour look like too much.

4th option - (yes we are still going I have alot of ideas.) This idea is cheap, easy and cool. Using honeycomb tissue paper balls in a few differnt sizes and colours hanging from the ceiling.

I like the idea but I'm not sure if it work in that well with the rest of the look might just be to heavy and over the top.

I still have more ideas. Post those later.

Make pretty picture

Contrary to populate belief designers don't sit around drawing pretty pictures all day, but I have to say, it would be cool if I did. and I'd have a desk with lots of colourful pens, pencils, and lots of pretty paper. but I don't think school kid pays every well, but working hours rule.

I'm back

I've got a few things ticketed off the list. 

I've resolved my bridesmaid colour, originally I wanted a neutrals, like tans, mushrooms etc, but since C will be wearing a grey suit it wouldn't match. So I decided I'd use a range of one colour. I came up with 2 options, either light greys tinted either with blues or purples or Yellows, light yellows. I wanted to make sure there was a difference in colour between the girls and boys. All the greys I could find are bit darker than I'd like and would leave all the girls and boys looking similar and me this lone light, white figure. So I'm going light yellows. A little bit scary as I didn't want them to look like they are playing dress ups in brightly coloured cloths.

 I found this picture and hope to get colours similar to this - just need to find the material.

And the girls will all be wearing different dresses too so nothing will be too matchy matchy.

Make a statment

This would make a great statement piece and would give me plenty of colour that I want.Dinosaur Designs

Think it might be a bit too much with my dress but I'm sure I could find another occasion it would be perfect for.

Colour

I'm going to be wearing white, C and the boys will be wearing gray, and I'm thinking the girls will wear a neutral colour, not the most colourful bunch I know. I do love colour however, so the colour will be in the flowers, decorations, and shoes.

Love it, my dress while be long and you see them most of the time, but since I have to wear shoes I think they should be red.
