These beautiful poms are from Oregon artist PomLove. A whole Etsy shop devoted to the sale of these wispy wonders of tissue paper. Perfect as a decoration for your ceremony or reception, you can pick your colour combination from the eighty or so listed.

If you need any more convincing on the practicality of these items, according to the Shop Policies "my colored tissue papers are made from 100% post industrial recycled material and my white tissue paper is made from 100% post consumer recycled fibers. my cello bags are 100% biodegradable and/or compostable. i buy all of my embellishments from sellers on etsy, who make them with found/vintage materials."

What colours should I pick?

I took the Martha Stewart Quiz: What Colour Palette Should You Choose For Your Wedding? to advise me what colours I should pick for my wedding. The outcome from the quiz is as follows:

You are undoubtedly Bold

Your personality and your color choices in day-to-day life are bold and vibrant, so your wedding color palette should be no different. Use lots of colors that show off your bold and passionate personality.

Decorations and fripperies

My sister E has been sending me lots of interesting items relating to weddings! I do find it a little difficult to keep up, there are so many ideas floating around, and I need to be more dilligent in recording them in this blog. Here goes...

One of the themes is that of decoration, in our case for the engagement party and for the wedding ceremony.

We are thinking that we could use decorations for the engagement party and then reuse them for the wedding. Some of the ideas require a bit of construction! There are lots of lovely ideas out there.
