Drink Dispensers

I can't find the original picture that inspired me to get drink dispensers for the wedding, but here is the look I'm going for ....

I will have a row, most likely on a higher ledge/shelf like this, with 4 or 5 drink dispensers filled with drinks that are my wedding colors. Right now I think the two on the ends will be maroon (sweet and unsweet tea) with the middle colors being yellow (lemonade), pink (some type of punch?) and orange (maybe some of that sherbert punch I like). These are the exact drink dispensers I bought...

Each $16.99 at TJMaxx Home Goods :D Anyway, I just thought this was a cute way to decorate and be functional. Also, if I can find enough small mason jars for a decent enough price, I will use them as glasses.

Bees, please.

In my search for drink dispensers for the wedding (which I have not posted anything about), I came across an awesome beehive shaped drink dispenser

---->

So now I think it'd be really cute to have a bee/honey themed dessert table. Not like hardcore everything has to have yellow and black stripes, but there are a few things I'd like to do. Of course, these would be awesome ....

... super cute cake pops from bakerella.com . Also, my friend suggested I could do some type of honey bun and I've also seen cute cakes made from a beehive cake pan. Then there's always honey!

in mason jars, nonetheless (which I am using for centerpieces and probably glasses - which I guess I have also not posted about). So yeah, just kind of thinking out loud for now - but if anyone out there has a cute bee or honey idea for me, let me know!!

More Billy Balls!

Ok, so I am probably far too excited about this, but remember those "billy balls" I love? Yes, these ones...

well I've found a way to make some that look real for my wedding centerpieces!

Perfect!

Photobooth!

Hooray, I finally booked the photobooth for our wedding. Unlimited pictures for four hours, so the guests can take as many as they want. The company will come to the venue, set it up, stay to make sure there are no problems, and then take it down. I will also get a DVD of every picture taken, so that's cool. The company is "Red Eye" photobooth.

Very excited. Not to mention I will have a box of props next to the booth with awesome hats, glasses, mustaches etc.

Table Numbers

Since I bought fabric for my pennant banners and a bunch of small frames for my original seating chart idea (which I have since changed), I figured I could use the extra fabric and the frames for my table numbers instead.

all I did was glue the fabric triangles onto a piece of white cardstock and I used sticker numbers

Then I glued a piece of thin ribbon across the tops of the fabric and reframed the paper. Hooray for cute, tiny pennant banners that have the exact same fabric as the big ones!

Also, hooray for not wasting like 20 frames. Cute enough, especially when they will tie in with all of the other decorations.

Pennant Banner

While I always thought my wedding would have paper lanterns wherever I could fit them, I think I have decided to instead make pennant banners to hang. The greenhouse already has white Christmas lights strung up on the beams, and I think the paper lanterns would be too much. The pennant banners, though, would be able to hang with the lights and look nice. Also, I want to have the banners on my dessert and dinner tables. I bought cute fabric at Joann today to try and make them..

Hopefully it will end up looking something like this...

With my colors, of course.. I'll post a tutorial when I actually make one.

$4 Cake Stands!

I want to have a small wedding cake but a big dessert table. Sooo, I am trying to make different kinds of cake stands, etc. They're extremely easy to make - and only cost as much as a plate and a candle stick holder from the thrift store!

I got some plates for $1.29 each

and some candle holders ranging between $2 and $3

and all I had to do was glue them together with tacky glue!

Simple enough...
