It has been over a week since my last post.
(side note: I'm not Catholic, so if I messed that up or offended anyone, I apologize!)
...whew... The first week of school can pretty much be summed up in two words: Chaotic Blur. There's just SO much to get done. I feel like I could work for a solid 24 hours and still wouldn't feel "done." And with that hyper-busy first week of school, I threw one of my friends a baby shower this past weekend (maybe a NWR post on that later this week???)
I've been so crazy-busy, I haven't even turned on my home computer in over a week!
Despite not being on my computer, I'm still attached-at-the-palm to my iPhone. And (thank goodness!) there are some apps that have helped with the wedding. As I was browsing through wedding ideas on Pinterest, I came across an idea that made me re-think my choice of aisle runners. Remember my original idea? Here are some pictures to refresh your memory:
Well, as much as I absolutely LOVE that look, it's going to be a TON of work. I can't decide if I want to do it or not. After doing some research, it looks like I'm going to be buying about 10,000 petals and a bizillion glue stick and spend HOURS working on it. Is it worth it? I can't decide...
Especially when this idea seems to fit out stars theme better:

Of course, they would be silver and pink instead. I just love the sparkly stars! I'm just imagining how cute they would be in the sun!
Ahh, I can't decide! I probably need to get started on the flower petal one of that's the one I go with.
So, I need your help! What should I do???
Option 1: Flower Petals Pattern (probably swirled)
Option 2: Pink and Silver Glitter stars
...or...
Option 3: Flower Petals Pattern down the aisle and around the curved part before the ceremony. (Too much?) I think I would end the "aisle runner" where the chairs end, and just do the stars around the curve, so they wouldn't be overlapping. Here's what our ceremony site looks like:

I'm seriously wanting your opinion... good or bad about these ideas. You won't offend me my saying you like one better than the other... REALLY! I just want some other people's thoughts and opinions. Thanks in advance!
I like option 2, my thoughts on the petals are not only is it a ton of work like you said, but what's it going to look like after the guests and you walk down the aisle? Glue sticks don't hold up well, so unless you try to use hot glue the petals are going to get knocked out of place when you walk over them, so even if you have the guests go to their seats from the outside the rows, when your bridal party begins walking down the aisle the petals are going to inevitably get dislodged and by the time you get there it won't necessarily look as pretty as it started. Even if you wait to roll it out right before you walk down you and your dad are likely going to walk on the petals and move them plus rolling the petals up could also unstick them. So while I completely love the petals, I don't know how they would hold up unless you put a big long piece of glass (or something glass like) on top of the runner. Plus the stars are kinda your thing. I think it would fit perfectly with everything else. Also on a side note did you think about maybe having your flower girl drop those metallic confetti stars? Just something that came to mind when I saw the star runner. Feel free to totally disagree with everything I just said, I promise you won't hurt my feelings.
ReplyDeleteI like the stars! I think it goes better with your wedding (you will have other stars) and it will be easier, less stressfull and will be more durable! Plus the stars look like something I could help you with without messing them up!
ReplyDeleteI think I also like option 2.. its just so unique.. I have never seen anything like it.. and im sure your guest havnt either..
