Fabric banners are a cute and fun way to spice up your wedding and reception site and add a fun pop of color to your big day. Another plus about fabric banners are that they are super easy to make yourself! Here is a quick blurb about fabric banners from getmarried.com:

Homemade Fabric Wedding Banners

Colored and patterned flags add a vintage touch and offer a pop of color to your ceremony or reception space.

Materials Needed: Colored string or yarn, fabric glue, scissors, wallpaper samples or colored fabric swatches.

Instructions: Trace two inverted triangles (with their bases touching each other so the tips of each face in opposite directions) on to your fabric or wallpaper and then carefully cut it out in one big piece. Gently add fabric glue to one side of your piece and then fold over the end of your length string or yarn (so the base of your triangle is pressed securely around it). Smooth the two pieces of fabric or wallpaper together around the string to ensure no openings are left between them. Repeat this process until you have 2-4 foot-long banner you can hang over a doorway or behind your cake or dessert table.

Ribbons are a great decoration piece that can really tie your entire wedding look together. Incorporating ribbon into your centerpieces, on your flowers, or even using a ribbon wall to spice up a plain space in your venue can be an easy and inexpensive way to brighten up your wedding day. With all of the different colors and textures available, the options are endless!

Spring is finally here!! I am sitting in my office with the windows open (ahhhh!) and the scent of spring in the air. I just adore spring for oh so many reasons. One reason is that Dogwoods are in bloom! One of the ever so present signs of SPRING! Kentucky weather in the spring can be a hit or miss and for today it was a total hit!

Dogwood in the spring can be an inexpensive choice for your wedding decor. I just love using one flower/tree for all of your decor. Here are some fabulous examples. You can carry this through starting with your invitations and on to your cake.. and so on. Adding this to my Love-it!! File!
