Note to self: Blogger doesnt handle Tables too well

Shawl Inspiration

This is so cool! And marries perfectly into the shawl idea I had planned

Curbly Video Podcast: How to Make Hand-Printed Fleece Scarves.

I was planning on using an off white/cream fleece, cutting strips and tasselling the edges. Now I can incorporate the flowers into them by stencil print!

I think a small rose and the date in the corner or centre of the shawl

Table CP - Draft 1

No lights as yet. Still trying to sort that out. but the dolls definetly work and the lanterns do too. The white circle on the top is for the table name.

Need to Source lights
Think about the ribbon fish

Opinions?

Dramatic Entrances

While not very appropriate... but how cool would it be to walk down the aisle to:

Carl Orff - O Fortuna


Bach - Toccata and Fuge in D Minor


Very Bridezilla songs, but they are some of my favourite pieces.

Recycled Bottle Vases

I will need clear, vases for my centrepieces. (Peony - Short Vase, Goldfish - Tall Vase)

I've looked around, The cheapest I've seen is in Ikea for $20, but they were very big which would mean more foilage than I wanted to buy. I tried retail and its amazing the prices you have to pay for a bit of glass!

So I needed Alternatives. I had to think about the weight and fragility factor, also buying 10+ of the same style vase seemed a bit extreme, so I thought Versatility - I could get some tall storage jars which could be reused later... Or use Plastic, which would have them light and durable. So there are many options but none of the items I've found are within my budget. :(

Despair? No!

Eva! BrainStorm!

(around 10pm) My Jove! I may have cracked the case!!

Recycled Bottle Vases

Calculations
Ask friends to keep Clear Wine bottles: $0
Bottle Cutting Kit: $50
Environmentally Friendly Action: Priceless

On that note Friends! Please keep your clear wine bottles for me. I'm after the Bordeaux ones, not the fat burgundy ones.

Also does anyone have any experience in bottle cutting?

Pebbles for Vases

Hooray! I've found the pebbles! These will be needed to add weight to the centrepieces so they don't topple over.

And because they're clear, the LED that will light up the centrepiece from the base. (I wouldn't mind some fire polished ones if there are any out there!)

They could also be the base of the Message Marbles I just posted about!
Now. The question is quantity. How much? 10kg? 20? A truck full?
