Wedding Flowers
Centerpieces & Place Cards
I would like something tall, but not too tall where people can't see the person sitting in front of them!.. I really like the center pieces in this picture,as well as the topiaries in my other post of the reception. I also like the idea of peonies.
I want to do something unique for my place cards.. I found this idea online and fell inlove. They are called "place card trees". I love this whole idea, and will probably do something similar.. but changing the green to purple of course.. and the ribbon possibly to white. DIY directions for tree How to make the Placecard Tree For the placecards: I used Stardream metallic cover stock in quartz that I purchased from http://www.paper-papers.com/. I designed a simple layout on MS Word, and used the font Murray Hill to write each persons name on the placecard. I then printed them on a Dell Laser printer (printing on Stardream cover stock can be tricky!). I made them so they would fold over, so we could glue the fringe and ribbon inside without it looking ugly on the back. I used a bone folder to fold my printed placecards in half, so I could cut two slits in the top folded area, to slip my ribbon through and glued it to the inside of the card. I used beaded fringe for the dangling crystals, it was easier to work with than individual crystals and you couldnt tell once you glued it inside. It looked like this but I purchased it at Home Fabrics in Downtown Los Angeles. I cut the fringe so it had 5 crystals and then glued it to the inside bottom and then pressed the folded placecard shut to hold the fringe in place. For the actual trees: We bought manzanita branches at a place called Wasabi Green in downtown LA, but I know you can order them online at: http://www.nettletonhollow.com/manzanita.html We created some bases out of wood, in a trapezoid shape, which we then covered with the light shantung fabric, adding the fabric was a little hard, we started off by using fabric glue and then also cutting and sewing parts of it, so that the ends would sit taut on the trapezoidal base. We the glued on a 1 1/2 inch brown satin ribbon and the rhinestone buckle. We secured the branches in the tree with expanding foam and anchored them with some heavier rocks, so they wouldnt topple over. We then covered the top of all that mess with some moss so it would look pretty on top. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://abbyjean.typepad.com/style_me_pretty/images/2007/12/26/diy_place_card_tree.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.stylemepretty.com/tag/place-cards/&usg=__KDr69Bm0XSWyD7KHEBs73x3sY2s=&h=402&w=450&sz=174&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=TY2WT9Ve3vTRaM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dunique%2Bplace%2Bcards%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2GPEA_en%26um%3D1 |

Wedding Reception
Sweet Heart Table
I really like the way the flowers are shaped around this sweet heart table(pic 1)
I want to put this Mr. and Mrs. sign from Lenox on the table too. (second pic) I would also like to hang monograms of the first letter from our names on the front of the table.. like the third picture. I think I would prefer them to be silver instead of flowers.. but I could change my mind, and have them hanging from a beautiful ribbon. |
