{Banners and Birdcages} Wedding Decor

Lots of fun ideas came to me this weekend. I knew getting some rest would help. :) I did a pennant banner re-do. I just didn't love the 1st one I made. Neither did Mr. M. I definitely like the new one better! I think I may have to add a few handmade flowers to it though. It just seems a little plain to me. What do you think?

I'm just realizing I never posted my card "box"! I bought this birdcage online and spruced it up a bit with some silver glitter tulle and some pretty yellow flowers. Isn't it PERFECT?!

{Pennant Banner} Eh...

I was loving this banner until I looked more closely at it. Now I am not loving it.

I'm thinking solid yellow or gray. I feel like it's too busy with two fabrics. I want simple and pretty so I'm really leaning towards a solid light gray with medium yellow embroidery and some pretty handmade flowers on a few of them. Simple and pretty is the look I am going for with this wedding and I just don't think this banner fits that theme. So, off to the fabric store to see what I can find. Wish me luck!

{Daisies and Baby's Breath} Time to think centerpieces. Pt. 2

Wow! That was probably one of the most stressful things I have had to do so far! One of the women I was chatting with at Keit's was SET on me using a flower that was no where near what I wanted. I was an ugly yellow with pink and brown. Not even close to the colors I want. The other woman finally stepped in and told her that flower wasn't what I was looking for. We ended up settling on white and yellow daisies (one color in each jar.) with some Fern greens as the filler. I loved the baby's breath, but once she showed me the daisies with the greens, I had to go for it. It looked amazing! I had originally planned on doing the flowers myself, but once she told me it would only be an additional $36 for them to do them, I decided to go that route. One less thing for me to worry about. I am so excited! I'll be dropping the jars off on June 14th and they'll be ready for me on the 20th. One day before our big day! Can't wait!!

The flowers will look something like this. I love the green in there! I didn't think I would, but after seeing, I do! 78 days to go!

{Daisies and Baby's Breath} Time to think centerpieces.

I have a meeting with the florist today. Since I'm trying to DIY this whole wedding, I am hoping to buy some wholesale flowers. Since the beginning, I have been stuck on daisies and baby's breath for the centerpieces. They are simple and beautiful. I honestly can't even think of any other combo I would like. I'm sure they will show me other options, but I think this might be it. Our wedding colors are yellow, silver, and white and I think they just FIT. I found a few examples and I absolutely adore them!!

 I mean seriously. Isn't that GORGEOUS?! Add in some baby's breath to fill it in and it's PERFECTION! 

 Hopefully I can update later today with good flower news! I'm a little nervous since my fiance can't come with me. This is a BIG decision to make on my own. Wish me luck!

100 days to go!

I have definitely been slacking on posting my wedding DIYs. Hopefully I can squeeze in a few more posts before our big day!! Here's what I've finished up so far!!

 First up, we've got a ring bearer pillow. I love love love the lace on this! Since we have three little men as our ring bearers, I'm going to make 2 smaller ones for the other two guys to carry.

 The centerpieces. These will have fresh daises and baby's breath in them. I can't wait to see the way the lights in the hall make them look. I have a feeling they're going to look amazing!

 These are the bridesmaids gifts. (I sure hope none of them follow my blog! lol) I have since filled them with items they'll need for the big day. Deodorant, mints, bobby pins, and some other goodies.

 My garter. Looking back, I wish I would have added "something blue" in there. Oh well. I'm sure I can find something blue.

 These lovely little flowers are for my bridesmaids. I am going with cute and simple for our wedding and I think these definitely fit!

 Squee!! My bouquet! I am so so so so thrilled with the way this turned out! I've changed a few things since this pic. You'll have to wait until the wedding to see the pics of it. ;)

 This was by far my favorite project. I am NOT a heels kind of girl. I am all about comfort. I swear to you I will wear flip flops until the first snow. They are just so comfy and easy to slip on! The white pair is mine. I doubt anyone will see them, but I don't care. I love them. The others are for my lovely bridesmaids. I want them to be comfy too!

 These don't fit the color scheme of the wedding, but I want the girls to have something cute that they can use every day and I feel like these fit. I hope they like them!!

Last but not least (not DIY either) is my ring! It finally came in and I LOVE it! Seriously, I could stare at it all day. <3

Check back! I'll be posting my last minute DIYs soon!
