Wedding Centerpieces

   

I’ve mostly completed 5 of the 10 vases I need for our centerpieces. I need to add some green paper fill to the tops and seal the edges of the paper wrapping the vases.  Otherwise, they’re basically done.  Gotta make a bunch more flowers and then place them.  I love how they’ve turned out!  I cannot wait to see them in the candlelight at the restaurant.  I think it will really bring out the sparkles.  🙂

My only concern now is transporting them.  It’ll have to be handled delicately, but I now we’ll make it happen.

Snack “Baskets”

 I recently made drink holders for my folks to hold bottled water in their hotel rooms while they’re here for the wedding.  I wanted to give them some healthy snacks, too, so they wouldn’t be held hostage to ridiculous mini-bar prices.  So, I used the plastic boxes my wedding invite paper came in and decorated them in a fun and funky way.  I filled them with beef jerky, Bare Fruit cinnamon apples and pears, and assorted KIND bars.  I can’t wait to tuck them into the rooms and see the looks on my parents’ faces when they find them! 🙂

  

Drink Holder Gift Baskets

 My mum and her husband, and my dad and his girlfriend, are both coming out for the wedding.  When my fiance and I travel, we often have to stock up on water and snacks for the room.  I thought it’d be nice to have some bottled water and healthy treats in my folks’ rooms.  And, then I saw this terrific idea in a crafts magazine: decorating Starbucks’ drink holders.  I’ve made two of them for the bottled water, and I’m so happy with how they turned out.  🙂  Next up, decorating baskets for the snacks.
