DIY Head Table Mock Up!!!

Monday, April 19, 2010

As most of you already know, here a few posts back, these two gorgeous table scapes have been my head table inspiration.



And now that I finally {almost} have all of my supplies, I was able to do a quick mock up!
NOTE: My champagne satin linens are in the mail. They will be swagged =)


There will be 9 white urns that I spay painted white and hand painted gold inside to include the trim. Also, each urn will hold my bridesmaids all white rose bouquets.


In between each urn, there will be 4 candles varied in height. 3 on stems and one as just as a votive. All candles used are shades of ivory.


For these table scape, I broke about 18 white and cream roses to make a thick blanket of petals. I also hand opened about 6 cream roses to place randomly on the bed of roses. {I figured this number will increase x4 on the day of}


I will also be incorporating my gold chargers on each place setting to include an ivory napkin with our menu tucked in each. {Still debating if I should wrap their place cards around the napkins or just leave as a traditional card. hmmm?}


And of course the stemware, flatware and other little randoms are missing. But we'll leave that up to venue to take care of ;)
So what do you think? Yay or Nay?

DIY URNS - Head Table

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Going off my previous post, I have decided to recreate the below image by making my own urns.


I went around looking for the perfect sized urns. Not too big, nor too small. Something just right! Not overpowering but definitely makes a statement.

I went to Beverly's {my local craft store} and came across these! PERFECTO! At $14.99 each, I just had to have em. But when I realized that was $14.99 times 10 {bridesmaids} I started second guessing it.... hhmmmm... oh well! Gotta have em!


To replicate the first image above the first thing that came to mind was PAINT!! =) I jetted Home Depot and purchased this

to spray the outter area of the urn. Two coats did the job. To create a little more detail, I decided to spray paint the inside with this...


{ooooh aaaaah}


And to make it juuuust right, Ramon and I hand painted the outter edge in a pretty metallic gold using this kind of paint


{oooooh aaaaaah}


And VOILA! A beautiful, easy, peasy DIY project that will be sure to wow our guests!

Don't you think these bridesmaid bouquets


will look fabulous in these urns?
