I'm very excited to go to more weddings. Plus, it will be fun helping my cousin plan her wedding. If I could just keep helping plan weddings after she gets married, I'd be a happy lady.<br />
<br />
So for now, I'll just continue to search for pretty and fun wedding inspiration.<br />

You could write little notes about the bride and groom. Maybe the wedding date at the top. My mind just went all over the place with these things.<br />
<br />
My other cousin made the basket in the middle. If these were made in a larger scale, this could be a cute, small centerpiece. You could fill it up with flower petals and potpourri. Or even candy. <br />
<br />
The origami paper can be found at <a href="http://www.daiso-sangyo.co.jp/english/">Daiso</a> for a cheap price. I've seen packs of smaller origami paper for about a dollar there. Plus, it adds lots of cute color to the decor.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963414678964353868.post-4989601757452910952011-01-15T09:10:00.000-08:002011-01-15T09:10:38.106-08:00DIY: BoutonnieresLoving these DIY boutonnieres.<br />

Pretty cheap for a wedding dress. I don't really like the jacket that goes with it, but you don't need it anyways for a wedding. The intricate design of the gold and lace makes the dress so unique. Love it!<br /><br />It's a 1950's dress by "Miss Melinda", an early couture designer.
