Ribbons Galore

I’m currently helping to style a wedding with a very fun and vintage theme and came across this hallway of ribbons on the Sweet & Saucy blog. While hundreds of yards of ribbon can add up to quite some cash, you could also buy yards of fabric in various colors/patterns and cut or rip them into small strands to make this same effect. Either way, the outcome is amazing and turns this very plain hallway into a beautiful entryway.

Jen made all the boutonnieres out of fabric and ribbon. She’s super-crafty, so it took her only about two and a half hours total.

Alex matched Erin’s flowers with orange and red dahlias, accented with seeded eucalyptus and a magnolia leaf with its underside exposed.

To go with his white tuxedo jacket, Michael wore a boutonniere of white stars of Bethlehem, pale pink astilbe, seeded eucalyptus and a green fiddlehead, all wrapped together with pale green ribbon.

Jenn and Brad didn’t want the usual fall palette for their autumn wedding. When their florist suggested yellow as an accent to the deep purple and chocolate brown they were already using, they “loved the combination.” One place the yellow craspedia provid...

The groom wore a shell filled with Vanda orchids backed for a fresh look that fit the wedding‘s casual vibe.
