Hey! It's the Nation's Birthday coming up! That seems like reason enough to do some celebrating. It's summer in this scenario so it only seems appropriate to celebrate the season of fruit. And fruit as cocktail skewers? I think so. Just switch out the lovely yellow for an additional lovely pinkish red and white-ish white and you've got a very nice theme started. Send in the buglers!<br />

Beyond making a great inexpensive centerpiece, they make a great inexpensive boutonniere.<br />

These paper flower boutonnieres are easy to customize. If you're adding pattern to your wedding, what a great place to throw it in as an accent.

I was in charge of them for my sister's wedding and I could not wrangle the live flowers. (You'll notice a lack of live flowers in my own pictures...it's because I'm TERRIBLE with live flowers.) Stems kept splitting. I only had what was left over from the bouquets. <br />
<br />
This is why I love boutonnieres that aren't based on live flowers. You can prepare them months in advance. You can pile them on top of each other. It can be 120 degrees outside (oh please dear God no) and they will look exactly the same as the day you constructed them.<br />

<br />The above boutonniere was made with a feather trim. This stuff (like this one <a href="http://www.decoratingstudio.com/Beaded_Fringe/Feather_Trimming/marabou_white_feather_trimming.html" target="_blank">here</a>) runs expensive. When I bought it I suddenly understood why lovely fabric flowers are always so expensive. I bought Papyrus Designer Ribbon. It's glittery and costs $5.95 per 10 feet. The second ribbon is a simple ribbed ribbon found at Michaels or Joann's. Punch heart on brown polka dot paper. Hot glue. I think you could do all of these boutonnieres for a group of 10 men (maybe more) for around $30. This doesn't include gas finding all the right materials. Oooor the items you'll buy when looking for the right materials.Kelly Anne Powershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04977640100594117514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292312803175249142.post-52368455164854963242012-06-12T12:28:00.000-07:002012-06-12T12:28:00.173-07:00Tissue Paper FlowersYou know those paper tissue paper flowers we would make as children? I revisited them recently and was incredibly (and pleasantly) surprised. I am a tissue paper collector and just combined patterns I thought would be pretty together.<br />

<br />What's great about these as a DIY flower is that they are abundant. A lot of the fabric and paper flowers that I make are detail in focus and actually don't take up much *space.* Really abundant feeling flower arrangements do the opposite. The tissue paper flower is full and expansive. It also isn't horribly intimidating, which is great when you're asking your friends to help.<br />

And if you're still designing your invites, you won't want to miss out on this week's Super Find. Next to the front door they have rolls (some pretty big) of sticker paper. So not individual stickers but a ROLL of sticker paper. The one I brought home was about 5 inches wide and transparent. So I decided to whip up some save the dates.<br />

All you need is a stencil, a sharpie, some cardstock, transparent paint (I used fluid Golden Quin Magenta), and foam make up sponge, and there you have it. If you didn't want all the by-hand look, print out some simple cards with the names and date on them and then add the transparent & over the top. There are a large range of stencils out there and anything is possible when it comes to working with transparent layers. <br />

<br />
There are so many possibilities for this DIY craft I don't even know where to begin. (Side note, is it OK to spray paint inside? This seems like a really bad idea from a particulate standpoint. I ask b/c we no longer have a yard and it's spray painting time of year.)<br />
<br />
I love wire. Bending it is really hard on my fingers and wrist so I try and keep it to a minimum, but maybe I should start these bad boys NOW for let's say, Christmas ornaments or package tags. They'd make great card decorations or birthday. Ooooh: Wrap one into a friend's name and then hang it from a birthday balloons. Or make it into shapes and then add a pin or clip for a shirt or hair. <br />

I will never get tired of the tiny hot hair balloon. NEVER. In fact, it will be a birthday party or a 4th of July party motif. Maybe 32 will be hot air fantastic. <br />

Centerpieces are something I love obsessing over even still in post wedding life. I may never wear a wedding dress again (OK to be fair I didn't really the first time) but centerpieces and pretty tables can be a part of my life going forward. And rightly so.<br />
<br />
This Atlanta wedding captured by Heidi of Our Labor of Love really shows a truth of the table display. If you have a beautiful (and often way more expensive in the case of a wedding) table cloth, you need less on the table top to have the table seem full.<br />
<br />
Round tables can be tricky. It takes a lot to make round tables feel fully decorated. Rectangular tables work well with a single flower every couple of feet. The length of the table makes it feel like a wonderfully complete design. Looking at this wedding, I'm realizing maybe it'd be less expensive to rent the ornate table clothes and then spend way less money on fancy center pieces. Because you have the lushness of pattern, you don't need as much up top.<br />

This idea is from those awesome women at <a href="http://www.oncewed.com/55732/wedding-blog/diy-wedding-place-card-ideas/">Once Wed</a>. Get little figurines from the dollar store and spray paint them white. Great for escort cards or for place holders at the tables themselves. Awesome.<br />
<br />
Also, f*ck diamonds. Spray paint is a girl's best friend. <br />

Christmas lights are not just for Christmas. My tattoo may say this. Christmas lights are great because everyone has them in their attics. Don't be shy about asking wedding invitees to donate a strand for the party. Wrap them up in front of a pretty white piece of material and wallah. A spectacular backdrop to the dessert table.<br />

OK, here's the plan. You and your friends and my friends each bring a bottle of wine to my place on Friday. Maybe they are all Pinot or Pinos Gris or Pink Sparkeling. Whatever. Then I number the bottoms and write down the numbers on a piece of paper next to their names. I peel off all the labels, and in there place I put one I've designed. (It will be block printed I'm guessing.)<br />
<br />
Then you and your friends and my friends all come over and all the bottles are open. And everyone gets a little pad of paper and a pen, and we write down our perceptions of what we're tasting. In the end, everyone finds out what the wines were originally. <br />

You're invited to a dessert party. First you'll get a pretty invitation in the mail. Then when you walk in, you'll get a boutonniere flag so you won't have to guess at peoples' names because we all forget them as soon as a new person says them. (Seriously, new rule: Talk bulk first THEN introduce ourselves!) Then when we've all chatted for awhile, we'll head into dessert time. And OK, maybe we have just a few too many snacks, but I think we'll all be happy to take home a dessert bag.<br />
