Polka Dot Wedding Centerpieces
Posted by Chrys in DIY Weddings, Decorations, Polka Dot Wedding, Wedding Themes on August 5th, 2006
Yesterday, I got a message from a bride asking for centerpiece ideas for a black and white polka dot wedding with pink accents. So, over the next few days I will put together some ideas and share them on here as I come across them.
Here is my first idea:
1. Rent glass containers from your rental provider.
2. Line the bottom of each container with black and white round glass decor pebbles. Another option is the decorative gravel you can buy for fish tanks. Or, check ebay or a local craft store for large black and white beads.
3. Place a pink flower into the pebbles and fill with water.
4. For the candles, you could do white, one white and one black – or if you wish: take some time and use some black wax from the craft store to drip “polka dots” right onto the candles.
5. Sprinkle roses petals around each table. You could do white, black(check out ebay for black petals), pink or some combination (white & black, white & pink, all three, etc)
I think that white petals with white candles, black & white pebbles and a pink flower would be a very elegant choice:) If you can’t find black and white pebbles – then use clear peddles, with polka dot candles, and white and black rose petals.

Cool find: Pink Polka Dot Purse Frames
Posted by Chrys in Decorations, Polka Dot Wedding, Wedding Favors, Wedding Themes on June 21st, 2006
I found these today on the Favor Ideas site and HAD to share them! They are so cute! At $3.75 each, they would work as favors for a small wedding, table numbers, bridesmaid gifts, bridal shower favors or a garden party. The frames are pink and black polka dot design and they are beautifully adorned with black ribbon trim and a pink satin rose. The black beaded handle adds to the decor of the purse frames. And of course, then can be shipped to Canada – which is always a plus.

Pink Polka Dot DIY Wedding Cake
Posted by Chrys in DIY Weddings, Food and Meals, Polka Dot Wedding, Wedding Cakes, Wedding Themes on June 21st, 2006
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before your wedding, you need to learn how to work with fondant. You can buy fondant premade or as a powder mix at most cake decor suppliers and large craft stores. You can also find recipes you can try on Baking 911. To learn a little more about using fondant, read Martha’s Article on Fondant. Once you have decided on the fondant you will be using – either store bought or homemade – then you need to practice using it - I recommend making at least one or two single layer trail versions so you are comfortable working with the fondant, and also practice making bows for the decor if you intend to use fondant bows.
TO DECORATE THE CAKE
You will need to start by preparing the four cake layers and decorate each seperately. Each layer is first covered in cream colored fondant. Then, use a chocolate colored fondant, rolled flat and a very small cookie cutter to create the dots which will be placed at random around each cake. Each layer is then finished with a chocolate colored ribbon along the lower rim.
When you are ready to assemble, place the layers together and then finish the look by placing 5 large pink bows attached to picks into the cake. If you prefer a completely edible look, the chocate edging can be made with strips of chocolate fondant and the pink bows can be made with pink fondant.
