Paper Made it Pretty ~ Mint to Be

This super sweet wedding I spotted over on Style Me Pretty is full of wonderful paper details designed by the couple...who happen to be graphic designers:) From the tissue paper flowers to the paper streamer decor, the super simple details add huge impact to this beautiful affair. Oh and did I mention I LOVE this color scheme!? Light, airy, and perfectly paired aqua, mint green, and white.

 

You don't even miss the real thing with these beautiful tissue paper flower bouquets made by the bride!

 

I can't get enough of these bouquets! They are SO precious and a great budget friendly substitute for real flowers.

 

A simple honeycomb streamer ads just a punch of color to the cake stand.

 

More paper flowers! Big impact on a small budget!

 

The same honeycomb streamer from the cake stand is used as a fabulous backdrop for the head table. The couple also used the banner motif throughout their decor. This is a great way to create a cohesive, unified feel to your event.

 

The banner motif repeated as a simple cake topper.

 

Stickers were added to plain paper bags creating cute packaging for the couple's favors.

 

More stickers for great reception snack packaging.

 

The same color scheme and style was used on the ceremony fans. A stylish way to keep your guests cool and comfortable:)

 

Last but not least the great wedding invitations that started the whole color scheme and banner theme.

Monday was all about monograms and today I'm sharing a great little DIY decor idea that is an absolutely adorable way to use your newly designed wedding monogram. These paper leaf topiaries created by Brittany Watson Jepsen are super simple to assemble and can easily be adapted for lots of different wedding themes. Add some color to the leaves for a fall wedding or stick to deep green and add red berries to bring a little winter to the mix.

Don't forget to check out Brittany's Etsy shop for some fun paper flower accessories and decor.

Have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Spotlight on Paper: the Crimson Poppy

I cannot keep a plant alive to save my life...which is probably where my love of paper flowers started! But beyond that, they are simply stunning to look at! Some of my absolute favorites come from a little shop on Etsy called the Crimson Poppy. My jaw literally hit the floor when I saw some of their creations! Aside from the lack of the florally scent, you'd be hard pressed to tell these weren't the real thing! And a quick bottle of perfume can easily take care of that:) Ok, it was tough but I narrowed it down to a few favorites...
