Washi Tape Table

I love washi tape and I thought it would be fun to use for wedding decor rather than fresh flowers.

I used butcher block and then lined the 10′ runner with washi tapes cut at various lenghts. It was time consuming, but I love how it came out.

I found colorful rainbow fabric from Michael Levine’s and had napkins made. Enjoy Cupcakes was kind enough to provide cupcakes for the table.

The washi tape was carried through to the candles, I love how the candlelight comes through the translucent washi tape.

Happy crafting!

So pretty, colorful and cheerful, I just wish I had a pretty staircase to decorate like this! Happy Monday, dear readers, I’m a bit exhausted from this weekend’s engagement party and I’m prepping to head out to Engage next weekend, oh yes and then there are of course weddings galore in June.

I love ranunculus… they are such a happy flower!

So delicate and feminine…

I love them mixed in with roses and peonies or just on their own…

And a touch of gray is always a nice accent.

Special thanks to Halberg Photographers for shooting these flowers by me and my sponsor Fifty Flowers for providing wholesale flowers.


Alisa + Tim, Part Three- Reception

Kelly
April 29

For the reception, we used a khaki linen (a nice neutral to pop all the colors off of) and red napkins. I tied red gingham around the napkins and tucked in cornflowers and nigella.

Doesn’t nigella look like fireworks?

For centerpieces I used mini watering cans, quilted mason jars and terra cotta pots. Flowers included dahlias in red, white, and yellow, daisies, yarrow, blue thistle, and cornflower. Alisa’s mom made the quilting squares for the tables which she later turned into a wedding quilt.

For table numbers, I spray painted the terra cotta with chalk board paint and wrote the number in red chalk.

At Alisa’s and Tim’s seats I placed petite blue bottles and tucked in a red lollipop dahlia. I got the bottles from the Pasadena flea, I think they originally held bitters.

A few oversized ballooms marked the sparkler table and kept the little ones entertained.

For dessert, Enjoy Cupcakes came and brought their delicious and adorable treats.

Seriously, the prettiest and tastiest cupcakes know to man.

And of course, it all ended with a heart! Congratulations again to Alisa and Tim!

Real Wedding: Alisa + Tim, Part One

I had so much fun doing this Americana themed Fourth of July Wedding. I used loads of red gingham ribbon for decor, along with pops of blue, white and yellow. It was such a cheery palette and perfect for a summer wedding.

alisatim_011

For Alisa’s bouquet she knew she wanted red, but she also wanted daisys for sure. So I mixed peonies, dahlias, daisys and blue thistle for her all american look. Around the base, I wrapped her grandmother’s locket.

For the bridesmaids bouquets, I used buttons Alisa made from left over fabric from her table linens/quilting squares.

alisatim_183

When I met with her she brought a bunch and wasn’t certain how to incorporate them, so I suggested using them on the bouquets/bouts and seating cards.

alisatim_036

For the groomsmen I made boutonnieres that were all slightly different from each other. This one is nigella wrapped in burlap with a light blue button. Next up the ceremony and more details… Photos by the darling Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie.
