Wedding Ideas

This post includes several ideas for weddings, most would fit in with any theme.

I love the idea of having 3 layer cakes - on tiers instead of stacked on top of each other. 
This is a lovely idea from The Cake Diva

-----

Or try several cakes instead of a stacked cake, like this look from Ruffled.  I like this look!

-----

Look at this beautiful arrangement from Kuga Designs

An Ocean of Balloons - A Party Look!

Are you getting anxious to get in the water?  Just wanna do some fishing?

Summer is on it's way, but maybe you don't have to wait for summer to do a bit of jumping around in the pond.

 

Under the Sea,
In a Fish Tank, or
Down by the Pond
- either way, this looks like a fun and cute water replacement.

I saved this look from a magazine ..., yes, years ago ..., because I thought it was a fun look.

 

 

 

 

 

Party Ideas and Bonnie Oscarson and The Good Fairies ...

I found some fun looks on Bonnie Oscarson's Party Ideas pinboard, and needed to save some of them.

Here are a few of my favorites (that I haven't already seen and saved).

I do not know Bonnie Oscarson, but have recently been introduced to her pins - and have decided that she is a great person to follow ..., for her pin boards and for her example and counsel. (read a little about her here, and about her and her family here)

These fun swirls can be purchased from Shindigz - it looks like a fun place for party supplies.

(or as suggested on pinterest - cut your own out of poster board)

I like this look too.  Garlands are a big favorite of mine - the streamers hanging for this backdrop are so cute.  I love the different shapes, and of course the pinks are pretty.  And, that saying on the wall "What to be is up to me!" has been a favorite of mine for many years now.

I found it really interesting that she had a few pins with balloons and streamers similar to this next photo - when I see them I'm just sure she has the thought of using this idea with all of the Young Women Value colors ( ... I would!). 

Aren't these fun crowns - that I don't usually have a need for, with an older daughter instead of a younger daughter, but again, I see these used as beautiful decor for a lovely Young Women Event.

Because of my days of blanket tents on the clothes line, in my childhood years, I have become a fan of the fun tent and canopy looks found these days.  This is another fun canopy look - outside, with balloons surrounding it.  One fun note with this pin (and the real reason I am saving this look) was to use golf tees to hold the balloons down on the ground.  I'm not a golfer, so I probably wouldn't have thought of that.

Here is a fun favor idea, or lunch idea ...

Boxed milk and donuts.  I love fun and creative boxed lunches for a great picnic - or in this case a great favor for a couples party.

I think I've seen this look before, but don't know if I saved it, so I'm saving it here - napkin ring menu card.  This is also a fun idea for a great quote or wish or fun fact displayed for the guests.

Fun way to create your own candle holders with lamp shades.

Here is a cute garden party look.

Now, just because I think it's cute, I've added this one last photo I saw here.  Bonnie Oscarson has pinned it on her Funny Stuff Board, which has some really cute funny stuff - worth taking a peek at.

And, something else I found, tracking this cute pin - Unlimited Tator Tots, a blog belonging to her daughter, and a great post about her experience when her mother was called.

And, FYI, Elaine S. Dalton is on pinterest too - no party board, but other great looks she has saved - I love her Quotable Quotes Board.

Balloon Background

Usually when we see balloons we see them in bright colors, but these are a lovely white, with soft color coming from other things.  It's a peaceful feel.

 

found Vintage Rose Brocante

 

 

 

It's Party Time Again

Whatever the occasion, party time is a great time.  
No matter how many times we see a great party, there is still another great one out there.

~~~~~

A great night time party can be found at The Purple Pug
Of course I love the tent or canopy and the glow in the dark things are great.

~~~~~

I have not seen this done, but if I do a night time party I wanna remember to try glow sticks in balloons like this I found on google search.  Or maybe little LED lights would work.

The Hungry Catepillar made of balloons from HERE

Great Wedding Looks

Decor and Photo Ops from a wedding at Green Wedding Shoes.
I do love a tent or canopy, and this sheer or mesh or tulle fabric makes a great look and a great place for a photo.

Balloons add a wonderful look too, in that beautiful gold color with the soft tone colored ribbon dangling from each.  It's a great place for photos too.

Love the Look! It must have been a beautiful wedding.

There is another wedding look on the same sight ... this one adds a different personality to the occasion.  It's an Eclectic Backyard Wedding - an outdoor area, with a great look.

The lounge area includes several sofas (check the site) and this bale sofa.

The bouquet is bright and beautiful.

Pinwheels grace the fence.

The dessert area includes great homemade mini pies.

Some drinks were served in this awesome sink tub in back of an old pickup.
