The creative mind behind BellaFlower on Etsy makes quirky repurposed paper decorations. She uses paper from books and also origami paper to cover pencils (sets of these might be nice as a wedding favour) handmade envelopes and table decorations folded from sheets of music. These can be hung also – imagine these hung in bunches at various lengths from the ceiling like a chandelier over each table, or along the top of a window, from a balcony railing, from tree branches.

Her paper garlands could be draped in strings around anything you could think of, or hung from the ceiling like a rainforest of paper discs.
Worth a look if you want something different for your wedding décor. Visit the etsy store.

Bridal Survival Tip : Wear In Your Shoes!

Ah such a simple tip, one that is told many times and one we keep forgetting!

There would be few things more uncomfortable on your wedding day than shoes that haven’t been worn in! Make sure that you wear your shoes around the hosue enough to be comfortable- stretch the leather and address any sore points on your feet with blister protectors, party feet or heel guards. Doing this ensures you will be the last one on the dance floor!

Also make sure the sole of the shoe is slightly scuffed to give you some grip on those smooth church floors!
