More Moods

I cant stop thinking about the colours and themes of the wedding. Its just that there are so many different things to choose i cant stay focused on one, i keep being enthused by another! Been looking at some lovely blogs today. First as usual started at snippet & ink reading about Patty and Christina's wedding. So then had a look at their blog because there are a couple of similar themes to ours namely - gay, homemade stuff and a picnic/garden style reception! From there i found Etsy Wedding and that's when i got overwhelmed by the idea that i need to do a whole new mood board! Well not completely new - still the purple and green colours but with a more vintage, homespun feel. Less glam and glitzy more afternoon tea in 1930.
I love the idea of fabric flowers.

Maybe use lots of different but similarly coloured fabrics to make vintage feel flowers as the corsages and button holes. Use the same fabrics on the invitation flower detail and keep the button centre. use squares of the mismatched fabrics as napkins and wrap around the cutlery and tie with the purple ribbon - see where i got this idea!


there is sort of a similar theme here


Click this dress for a flower girl mood board that fits perfectly with this idea - all pretty whimsical printed fabrics.

all pics are links to their sites
UPDATE instead of using the fabric as napkins what about making the fabric flowers napkin rings - sew them onto ribbon and tie around plain napkins then they can be a keepsake for guests too.
