DIY Wedding Decor

We just love working with WCIU, You and Me this Morning.  For our segment yesterday we focused on Bold Color a BIG trend this wedding season.  If you missed our segment yesterday you can view the video here.  Below I have listed all of the details and vendors involved  in this segment!  Enjoy!

All floral design was provided by my very talented sister-in-law Tiffany Burdick, Owner of The Petal Boutique.  We chose to design bold colored pomanders.  Each created with carnations!  Can you believe how gorgeous they are!  Pomanders can be carried by your bridesmaids or used as pew decor.  After the ceremony we suggest re-using them as the centerpieces as you see here.

Our Bold  Hot Pink linen was provided by Unique Party Rental!

 This escort card display is so easy to make.  We chose paint chips from a local home improvement store in the various colors of our theme. The very best part of this is the paint swatches are FREE! We punched out the circles with a 3 inch circle craft punch. So all you have to do is write out your table assignments and tack them right to the cork board!  We had some fun listing the names for the segment!  Zach Morris was invited!

 Here is our gorgeous bridal bouquet designed by Tiffany Burdick with The Petal Boutique.  It was created with white roses, white peonies, white ranaculus, and white lilacs.  We wanted the bouquet to be completely white but have alot of texture!  And might I add that the combination of the lilacs and peonies made this bouquet smell wonderful!

 To add our bold colors to the bouquet we added a colored ribbon wrap.  Doesn't this look fun!

 We work with Dessert Designer, Kelly Siebens with Lillycakes and I had been begging her to make a "lillycake cake," and this segment was the perfect opportunity for her to launch this new product!  Isn't it great!  We had the cakes decorated to match our bold theme as well.  This cake held 200 lillycakes!

 Bite-sized desserts are such a trend right now and I think this is a great way for Brides and Grooms to have a very fun and creative yet affordable wedding cake.

I hope you enjoyed all the details!  If you have further questions or would like to speak with us about designing your wedding you can contact us here.'

Wedding Puzzle

 This is a custom wedding puzzle used as a guest book by BellaPuzzlesToo shop on Etsy.  Not only is it a great activity but a great heirloom to keep.  As guests arrive at your wedding they can sign  the back of a puzzle piece with a special message for the Bride and Groom.  Then throughout the night many of your guests may attempt to put the entire puzzle together

This puzzle has about 60 pieces large enough for signing. They come on 10 piece increments to suite any wedding size. They recommend that you get enough pieces for 70% of your guestlist. But make sure to place your order early as these custom pieces take 14 weeks to produce!

 They can even create custom cuts at your request, here are some examples:

1. Two names with a maximum of twelve letters (for example, “Sam & Lindsay”)

2. The couple’s initials (for example, “S & L”).

3. Event date (format will be “Jun 26 2011” or “26 Jun 2011” with no punctuation)
4. Two figure pieces (heart, leaf, animal, or state)

Each puzzle comes packaged with two pens perfect for signing on the pieces.
