Hey Girls, I know it's been a few days! Never a dull moment around here! Still job searching, but FI is recovering from surgery well! I've been trying to catch up on posts!!!
Anywho...since I have so much time in between job searches, I decided to focus on some DIY wedding stuff to de-stress!!! I've been trying to figure out my centerpieces from day one. I had an idea, but need to cut costs badly...I originally wanted to do a tall cylinder vase with red roses and several small glass votives covered in a black/silver vellum to cover up the LED tealights I have to use since our venue doesn't allow burning candles. Well...instead of buying glass votives I'll probably never use again, I decided to try and come up with an alternative...out of paper!!! I'm so excited. Below are what I came up with...just some plain white cardstock, wrapped in silver and black ribbon. The tealights fit perfectly inside (discretely), and give off just the right ambience. Excuse my poor photography skills, but I hope you get the jist! Oh, and the roses will be wrapped in a pretty black ribbon. This is just the rough draft. Finishing touches will be applied later. What do you think???
