DIY Project :: Burlap & Doily Luminaries

I always love creative ways to incorporate candle light at an event. Candles are great on their own, but adding that extra touch of decor with a special holder is one of my favorite things! I saw this posted on Facebook today and just had to share!


You will need:

Glass jars
Adhesive Spray (like Elmer's Craft Bond)
Doilies
Burlap
Twine, buttons, and/or ribbon
Tealight Candles or Battery Operated Tealights
 

Make sure your jars are clean and dry. Lay the doily flat and spray it with glue. (Make sure to lay out paper, cardboard, or another surface underneath your doily so you don't spray glue directly onto your table!)  With the doily still on the table, place the jar onto the doily and roll it until the entire doily is attached.

Spray the rim with adhesive, then wrap the jar rim with burlap. You can also wrap the rim with pretty ribbon then tie a piece of twine around the rim as well. Tie them both in a bow. Another option is to use the canning jar lid, then wrap that with twine or loose threads from your burlap. Thread two of the ends through a button and tie in a knot.

Congrats Marissa & Matt!

The ceremony was at United Methodist Church in Avon, and the church was a packed house for the ceremony! After the ceremony, the bride & groom left made their exit as their guests waved ribbon wands. The wedding party went off for photos at Crocker Park, while we headed to the cocktail hour and reception at Wagner's Country Inn.


The color scheme was yellow and celadon, so the flowers were pops of bright color against the white linens and fabric treatments.The flowers included hydrangeas, roses, spray roses, tulips, daffodils and carnations. The room was aglow with candlelight on every surface and twinkle lights above.






They had a super fun DJ who kept the party going all night, and a surprise from the bride & groom....the DJ cranked out "Shots" as the made their way through the crowd with trays of jello shots.

Daily Inspirations :: Baby's Breath

Baby's breath is a love it or hate it type of flower. If used wrong, it could scream 1984 in a bad way. But if you use it creatively and in large amounts, it can create a visually stunning effect. It's popularity is coming back around these days, and here's why: here are a few examples of event designs I love using baby's breath....

Day 7 :: Paper Luminaries

Print, cut, tape/glue. That's it!! Just print your pattern, cut it out, roll it into a circle and seal it on the inside with tape or glue. Place it over a votive or tealight candle inside and there you have it...a beautiful and inexpensive luminary!



I put these on the shelves in my office. I'm going to make a few more in different patterns for my other shelving areas, because they look amazing! Then, I'm going to make some for the fireplace mantle!
