Ombre Teabag Wedding Décor

Having a tea party wedding reception? Bring it up to date and save the planet a little whilst your at it, by saving your teabags, dyeing them in all your favourite colours, and stringing them up in your wedding venue! A bit kookie, but it’ll give your guests something to talk about!

Abstract Geometric ‘wink’ Wedding Piñata

I do love a piñata at a wedding. Keeping you guests entertained is top priority… the fact that this geometric WINK example is so damn gorgeous is just an added bonus! You can find a gazillion piñata tutorials on Google! Failing that, just buy this beauty!

Uplit Geometric Wall Art

Your living room has a feature wall right? As should your wedding venue, especially if it’s a blank canvas. As wedding photographers, we often find that cakes are tucked in a corner, out of the way. In this wedding, the cake sits below beautiful wall art, demanding the attention it deserves. You could recreate something similar using the DIY Paper Polyhedra Ornaments featured last week, and popping an uplighter underneath to add an extra dimension.

diy Will You Be My Bridesmaid Cards

“Asking your closest girlfriends to be part of your special day should be exciting… and what better way to ask than through mixed media?!?” Julia’s Poppies Design

I love details, pretty packages and thoughtful notes. I love to gather magazine cuttings, fabric swatches, and colour charts for mood boards.

1

This tutorial is for inspiration alone… their are no rules. Just surround yourself with your favourite magazines (not just wedding ones), photos of your friends, fabric and ribbon scraps, washi tape, paints, a Sharpie perhaps, and a bit of sparkle and confetti, and run with your imagination! 

2

The calligraphed and illustrated templates for Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor, Bridesmaid, and Flower Girl come in four colour palette options with purchase of their white metallic pocket closures. You just have to print out the desired quantity at home and start crafting! You can purchase a set from Julia’s Poppies on Etsy.
