Christmas ornament bouquet and paper centerpieces #Floral DIY#blue shoes#bouquet alternatives#centerpiece#christmas#colorful#non-floral bouquet#non-floral centerpiece#paper flowers Updated Oct 12 2015 (Posted May 25 2008) Ariel arielmstallings Check out these gorgeous non-floral bouquets: Sandy, the bride, made her bouquet out of christmas tree ornaments, and her bridesmaid's bouquets out of paper. (Unrelated: check out Sandy's shoes! And her purple crinoline! *swoon* I'm dying over here!) Sandy also made the centerpieces out of paper: Check out all the photos here, and rest assured that I'm already stalking Sandy and will hopefully have a full profile soon. You all know how much I love a colorful wedding… Update: here's the full profile!

PREVIOUS Feather fascinators and magic wedding headpieces from Breeziway NEXT Sandy's colorful, crafty, hip-but-won't-scare-grandma wedding Show/Hide comments [ 19 ] Great pictures and cool idea to reuse those wonderful ornaments for a bouquet!! I love those paper flowers so cool too. I also love the cake!! awesome wedding and overall pictures!! Congrats to the couple!! By the way great use of a "green" wedding to reuse everything, well almost everything! Reply Beautiful colors. It just puts a smile to one's face. Reply The cake is a copy of a Lovin' Spoonful cake. The original one is one of my faves! Reply Colour! Splash! Just brilliant! LOVE it all! Reply I have the same dress, except my sash is black. I loved her purple crinoline and especially the shoes (I already have some glittery silver chucks picked out though). Any hints on where to get a crinoline like that? Reply love love love it! Reply How absolutely gorgeous and fun!! Reply The crinoline was originally a regular white one from David's Bridal. There are lots of crinoline dying tutorials online and, trust me, it's just as easy as everyone says! Just a warning, though, I think that dress is actually not supposed to have a crinoline added (because there's already some tulle built in), but I didn't care. We had to cut out some of the purple to make it less mega-poofy but it worked. Reply Sandy! I don't know if you still visit Offbeat Bride or not, but I also tried to reach you vis your Flickr account. I am in LOVE with the sash on your dress! I must have it in orange if possible! Can you tell me where you got it? Or if there's a pattern online for it somewhere? I don't really have time to have it made, but I would try if I had to! Please! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Reply […] Well, that didn't take long! As seen on OBB yesterday, here's the full scoop on Sandy's colorful wedding and her Christmas ornament bouquet […] Reply I adore the paper bouquet! I'm all about the splashes of colour too. I'm having the original crinoline of my dress removed and getting my grandma to sew in a red one for a nice pop of colour. Reply LOVE the flowers—did you use a pattern? i so need to make those..any help you can give would be appreciated! Reply Love your wedding! Where did you find your shoes? Love them too!!
