Picnic Inspiration for Meg

Here is an inspiration board I made for my friend Meg who is getting married in September, and wants a BBQ/picnic themed wedding to echo her and her dude Ashley's style and love for grilling and the outdoors and fun!

I say- add some cute pinwheels, some paper kites and gingham and mason jars and we are all good.

Here is some of her inspirations combined with mine. She also has a dilemma. Her mom is allergic to Jute and she wanted to use it for table runners. What is a good alternative? I thought of using hemp or Linen but not sure how costly it is.

Ideas?

DIY PinWheels

Don't ask my why I looked this up. I just wanted to know how to make them. I think I saw a picture of a bride and groom holding some, and it stuck in my mind. ( I found the picture I saw- via Dana Grant Photography!)

How freaking cute would these be for some kind of wedding decor? Be it in a centerpiece at a table in with flowers- or to line a walkway or just as something fun.

I so love the colors of these as well.

Here is another tutorial- these look MUCH easier to make- and I actually prefer the shape i think (like the 2nd photo).

AND- if you don't have the time to make them- of course there is someone doing that for you. Just check out Etsy. I found Rule 42- she makes these great big ones custom, and she won't let you forget the groom. Who needs flowers when you have pinwheels in as many colors?

Self indulgence

I recently attended a wedding of my good friends- it was an amazing event, not only because they have had such a crazy story, but because it was at the Circus School where I study and teach aerials. They asked me to perform at the wedding- and it was so scary but I just let my heart do the walking!

Her is a pic of me with Jon (the groom) and his little girl Elzie looking on.

Photo was taken by Ben Weldon. Benweldonphotography.com- he is a super super nice guy and I can't wait to see more pics from the event.

Always a bridesmaid

How adorable would this make as a bridesmaid's dress? Or even a wedding dress.Thinking a big bouquet of cotton, and acorns, and sage! Maybe something like this: A bouquet made and held by my friend Melissa on her wedding day. Photo by amazing photographer's Vintage Pictures.

Or something more simple...
