Romantic Wedding Aisle Floral Decor
Wedding Color : Orange, Perfect for Fall weddings!
Orange is a VERY HOT wedding color right now.
I feel like this is total deja vu! Seriously, orange is crazy popular now. Perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall weddings.
Orange is super versatile. Pair orange with...
PURPLE, SPRING GREEN, LIME GREEN, BURGUNDY, AQUA, TURQUOISE, SKY BLUE, CHOCOLATE BROWN, GOLD, SILVER, PEWTER, LILAC, WATERMELON and FUCHSIA/HOT PINK. ... Okay, so you see my point.
Orange is vibrant, fun and FRESH!
Perfect for fall, tropical, beach, summer, spring weddings and elegant party celebrations!!
Adirondack chair favors / place cards
You see they have the cutest YELLOW adirondack chairs on their deck.
They retire there in the evenings to watch the sunset over the lake.
I couldn't resist.
Their invites featured yellow adirondack chairs motif with blue wave board representing the lake. The place cards were miniature yellow adirondack chairs.
When the guests were finished eating they joined together at Karen's house. They really enjoyed seeing their TRUE life size yellow adirondack chairs on the deck.
I truly feel a THEME is necessary for EVERY party. A party without a theme is like a cake without icing. It is just wrong.
When throwing a party or wedding, think about what REPRESENTS YOU or the guest of honor. Incorporate the theme / motif on the invite, favor tags, menus, place cards, table cards, thank you cards, and more!
Isn't making memories fun!
ENJOY.
Light Pink + Hot Pink = Outstanding Confidence

Fresh Summer FUN Bridesmaid Inspiration Board
Party Pom Pom Decorations
From Martha Stewart Weddings
Pom-Poms and Luminarias
Joyous bursts of color dance above a table, imparting a cheerful radiance to a rehearsal dinner or casual reception. The dahlialike pom-poms appear to float in the air; in reality they are hung from the ceiling with monofilament. Echoing the vibrant hanging puffs, pom-pom napkin rings in citrus shades adorn each place setting. Square glass vessels in various sizes line tables. Covered in sunset-hued tissue (cut to size and secured with double-sided tape), they cast a soft glow.
How to Make the Pom-Poms
You'll need tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered floral wire.
Hanging Pom-Poms
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.
2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.
3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.
Napkin Rings
With just a few changes, these follow the same steps as the hanging pom-poms.
1. Stack four sheets of tissue. Cut a 10-by-5-inch rectangle, going through all layers. Make 3/8-inch-wide accordion folds.
2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, slip over center of tissue, and twist to secure. Trim ends of tissue.
3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
4. Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end around loop to secure.
