Is that too much to ask? I mean, we're getting married in a park, right? Therefore, I think me and my husband-to be-to will begin lovingly folding 1000 paper cranes as a couple's project we'll only work on together to adorn the trees [true story, that's what they did. cute, but slightly gag-inducing].
Hmmm, on second thought, maybe we're not folding cranes anytime soon [he's a lefty, and generally banned from paper crafting. Someone's GOT to teach the boy to use scissors asap!] But this stunningly beautiful, ephemeral, and let's not forget cheap, decor idea is a serious possibility.
It comes from a wedding featured this week on Once Wed, which constantly reminds me I need to work on getting my own farm/pastoral backyard, or parents who have such accommodations, to host a budget-friendly, drippingly elegant rustic-chic wedding. It seems that's how all the best weddings get pulled off nowadays. And even though our beloved Ponce [de Leon Ave] hosts plenty of folks plunking down in the middle of the road to celebrate, unfortunately our backyard just won't do.
Also found today and adding to the rustic-chic decor file: dollops of moss. Charming! And delicious. Mmmm.
As a lefty myself, I'll just tell you now: We cannot be taught.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad but true. I'm convinces that my left-handedness is what keeps me from being crafty.
It's weird, but I get REALLY freaked out when I watch him chop things in the kitchen. As a lefty, he reverses everything and I'm always like "OMG you're going to slice your hand off!" It just looks so strange to me!
ReplyDeletei dont think its too much to ask to have little rustic charming touches :)
