DIY decorative jute balls

I had a bride recently that booked me for consultation only (did you know that was possible? If you don't need an onsite wedding planner for the ceremony & reception, we offer a discounted coordination fee!). This girl amazed me with all her DIY projects. She even left some items behind for me and I absolutely love these jute balls she made and am shocked that she made them! I asked my husband "aren't these amazing?!" and he says, "that's actually pretty easy to do". Well whatever! I know I couldn't do them and make them look this good!

I used two of them the other day to add a little "ump" to our aisle. They looked awesome with the palms and white shells:

My bride shared the link where she found the DIY instructions and you can find it here.

Congrats to Krystal & Jamie - what a wedding!

Krystal had been planning for months to surprise her groom with an over top "Bachelor" style wedding. Krystal asked me if I ever saw the mega dates on The Bachelor - she wanted something grand! And her idea of the seaplane was definitely something awesome!

The plane touching down in the water:

I'm wondering if the groom was thinking, "did they really have to land that plane now, while we're trying to take pictures?!"

But I bet he was so excited to see it was for him!

Taking off for their tour:

Thank you to Seaborne Airplanes for this amazing service! And thank you to Alain of Blue Glass Photography for taking these beautiful images! Stuart Scott officiated and HiDef Video took video, which I can't wait to see!
