Some Neat Finds that could be Beach Wedding Worthy
Posted by Chrys in Beach Weddings, Decorations, Destination Weddings, Wedding Favors on July 19th, 2006

Cute Bamboo Torches for lighting! They come decorated as shown! These could be placed around the reception area or along walkways. They could also be used as “candles” down the wedding aisle. They can be planted in the sand to make them sturdy, and they burn on oil and will hold up to breezes better then a regular candle. They are $18.95 for a set of 3, already decorated!

Raffia and Shells Garland – this is really pretty! You could use this inbetween the torches around the reception area, pathways, or even as decor for the wedding aisle, strung from chair to chair. Could be used for the head table, cake table, guest book table, etc. These are 67″ long for $7.95.

Grass Table Skirt – looks kind of tacky with the beach ball and blue table top, but with a dark green or white table top and some garland or tulle swags, this could look very elegant. You could even put icicle lights under it. These are $13 for a 9″ skirt, but would work well to use just on the head table and/or cake table to make them stand out.

These are neat, but not cheap ($40 each) . If you are having a beach wedding, you could set up a few resting spots like the ones in the picture to add to the decor and give guests a place to sit and chat.

At $15 for a set of 3, these sea shell votive holders would work great as centerpeices or even as favors if your budget allows. I love the fishing netting used here. Three of these, with a framed photo of the couple, arranged in a pile of that netting would make a neat centerpeice. Or, arrange a large peice of drift work, one candle and the netting, for another great centerpiece idea!

If you are having a fun, casual beach wedding, these tote bags would make great Out Of Town guest bags or even wedding favors! They are only $15 for a set of 12 – so they are also fairly affordable.

COTW: Bling Bling DIY Crystal Drops
Posted by Chrys in Celebrity Weddings, DIY Weddings, Decorations, Designer Style Replicas, Flowers, Wedding Cakes on July 18th, 2006

If you loved the Crystal Drop accents on Carmen’s elegant wedding cake – you can easier steal the look and make them yourself! These could be used to accent your wedding cake, bouquets, centerpieces and more.
All you will need is some sturdy silver wire and “crystal” drops – you can find both at a local craft store. If you can not find wire that is sturdy enough and silver – use another color and spray paint them with silver paint.
Cut the wire into strips, each a little longer then you need them to be. Then, slide a crystal drop onto the end, fold the end over and twist to secure the drop.
VIOLA
That’s it, that’s all – insert them into the decor were ever you want a little sparkle! Bend the wires to a suitable curve if needed.

$10 Centerpiece Ideas
Posted by Chrys in Decorations on July 14th, 2006
A recent article in a bridal magazine (no idea which one, I read a lot of them) stated that the most important part of your wedding decor is the centerpiece. Guests spend a great deal of time at their tables, so this is the one peice that will be seen the most. A great centerpiece does not have to be difficult or expensive. Look at these cute, ready to go centerpieces you can get for $10 each!

Until I started the Lime Green theme this week, I had never heard of Cymbidium – but it is goregous!! It is a lime green colored orchid that is actually becoming quite common in weddings! Here are some pictures of different color combinations using Cymbidium from Flower Scents.


And my personal favorite – a possible centerpiece for my wedding:

Writing On The Walls
Posted by Chrys in DIY Weddings, Decorations, Hot Trends on July 10th, 2006
I shared a while back about the hot new trend towards wedding graffitti – or custom wedding wall art. Today I found another great site offering wall art. Quotes On The Wall specializes in home decor wall quotes but they have a few wedding worthy quotes. They also offer custom quotes and graphics! They are a bit more budget friendly then some of the bigger names I have seen, so check them out! The samples show below were less then $30 each.

COTW: LIME GREEN Citrus Bridal Shower
Posted by Chrys in Decorations, Flowers on July 10th, 2006

This photo comes from a great article I found at the Wedding Club. Special Event Decorator, Arina Lanis, used a citrus theme for a bridal shower she hosted recently. The limes and mangos, complimented by roses, candles and ribbon – create a unigue, elegant and unforgettable decor statement. This same statement could be carried into a wedding decor setting very easily for a soft romantic candlelight wedding.
You can read the article, and see more pictures at the Wedding Club.

COTW: Lime Green Find
Posted by Chrys in Decorations on July 10th, 2006

Here is a neat centerpiece idea for a comtempary wedding look. These tealight holders come as a set of three for $29.99 per set. For a clean, elegant look, place a tealight in each and leave as is. For a more classic, romantic look, sprinkle rose petals, daisies, pearls or other decor items in among the candles holders.

COTW: Blue & Yellow Unique Bouquet Idea
Posted by Chrys in Decorations, Flowers on July 6th, 2006

I love this bouquet idea! Pale yellow roses, white stephanotis,and clear “glass” blue bubbles. It is totally unique, elegant and just goregous! The matching centerpeice is wonderful as well! If you are on a budget, a smaller version of the centerpiece may be just as elegant but a little less expensive.
