Tuesday Thought: Arrow Escorts

Good morning darlings!  How is your Tuesday morning going for you?  Wonderful I hope ;-)

Well I am back this Tuesday with another thought for you.  I have been finding myself drawn to arrows and feathers a lot lately.  So when I ran across these arrows...

...and found out they were a DIY - I knew it was time that I did an arrow post!

So here is your 'Tuesday Thought' darlings:  Use these arrows as escort cards for a fabulous desert themed affair.  Since they are a DIY using fabric scraps, washi tape, and paint amongst other items, you can customize them anyway that you like.  And to turn them into escort cards, just add a tag.  Also, you could have each table be a different arrow style/pattern/color.  Then on the tables you could have two arrows forming an X, and attach them to a table runner that hangs over the edge of the table!  Would be wonderful, no?

And you know me...I would take it a step further, and add a feather or two onto place cards.  Also, I might tie the napkins with some suede shoelaces...you get the idea ;-)

If you would like to make your own you, Modern Kiddo featured a guest post by Thompson Family Blog their blog with a step-by-step how to.  You can get it right HERE.

Happy DIYing darlings!

Who Says

...you can't have a tepee at your wedding?

I think, no wait...I know I am in L-O-V-E with this one!  I am adoring the colors of the fabric by the LOVE sign, the LOVE sign and the feathers.  And goodness, just look at those feathers...they make the perfect topper, no?

Aisle Style: In the Desert

About two weeks ago I told you darlings that I was starting a new series called 'Aisle Style' and I just wanted to say a few words before jumping right into pictures. I wanted to let you know that in most 'Aisle Style' posts I will be also be including the ceremony backdrop. To me the aisle leads up to this, so I might as well include it too...so you will usually find it at the bottom of each post ;-)

Anyhoo, I adore this desert style aisle! It's simple, but thoughtful and incorporates it's surroundings...

The first two and the last two chairs are decorated with little posies of flowers which are just sweet.  At the first row in front, they also did a little stack of rocks - which are just a wonderful touch don't you think?

The back of the aisle was adorned with simple pots filled with succulents and cactus...

And for the ceremony location, one fabulous crossed piece of wood and a potted plant are all that's needed to mark the special spot...

A simply gorgeous desert style aisle, no?
