Help A Reader Out: Hot Air Balloon Theme
DIY devotee, Ann, needs some help with her hot air balloon themed wedding. I thought I’d turn this one over to you awesomely creative people.
… My fiance proposed to me on a hot air balloon last March. We are trying to continue this by making the theme of the wedding hot air balloons. My sister is a graphic designer and is making all of our stationary with a beautiful monogram/logo using a hot air balloon and our names. We are getting married at a pretty formal reception hall, so we know that the decorations need to match the formality of the room. We have been thinking of finding rice paper lanterns made to look like balloons. We would light all of the lanterns with candles or battery operated lights. I am having so much trouble finding plain or light blue rice paper balloon lanterns. Any idea where I could get them or any other ideas for centerpieces using that theme?
Thanks for your help!
Can you help Ann out with centerpieces, lantern sources, and other hot air balloon inspiration?
Beaded Rose
I love, love, love beaded flowers. They take a bit of patience to master but they’re worth it (if you like beaded projects).
BeadJewelryMaking has a nice tutorial for creating beaded roses. Wouldn’t these be lovely as boutonnieres? You could also create a whole bridal bouquet from them or sneak in a few into a fresh flower bouquet for added sparkle.
Seeds beads come in hundreds of colors so you’ll be able to make a pretty little flower to match your theme.
