Parasol DIY Project

Oh Martha, Martha, Martha. Why must you tempt me with DIY goodness that I am neither crafty nor committed enough to complete? Seriously, the list of things I would love to do is so long, the real things that will get done? Probabably about 4 or 5. This just might have to happen though.






Does it look easy enough for Non Crafty Bride to attempt? This may necissitate the use of more crafty BM's. The adorable Posy Parasol in a teeny size for my FG's!

Ish is Real, Yo.

Check out these amazing paper flowers. Pretty much the opposite of what I am looking for in bouquets (time-saving, budget-saving, sanity-saving). These are so gorg, but you know sister spent lotsa time, paid a pretty penny and probably cried a couple of times before she was done.

Paper Porange

One of the things that is still left to decide on my hot little to do list is the centerpieces for the tables during the reception. Bakey BM has a history of craftiness (actual arts and crafts, not guile - remember I am in GRE Vocab mode) and approved the idea of paper flowers. While I am trying to determine whether it makes sense financially and in actual BM hours to construct all those blooms, I am definitely intrigued by the possibility and investigating the idea. Enter the fabulosity of Amble through the Bramble, this sweet online shop that carries brooches, hairpins, and giant paper flowers - perfect for center pieces?
