i’ve said it before and i’ll probably say it many more times [no, it's not to apologize about not blogging...at least, not this time. there will be many more unintentional blogging hiatuses in my future]: i’m so glad i’m only in the pre-planning stage. there are so many options and inspirations just floating around in the internets just begging to be plucked, adjusted, and used in our future wedding. how can a girl be expected to choose just one idea when there are so many awesome ones available?!
so what have i changed my mind about again? do i really need to say it? okay, the pomanders.
i know, how many times can i possibly change my mind about these things [i think the current count is 4] while i really do like the cupcake liner pomanders i made the last time around, i have a new flavor of the moment: rosettes.
mrs. taffy from weddingbee brought these lovely things to my attention a while back and i was intrigued from the first second i laid my eyes on them.

you see why my heart when a pitter-patter? these rosettes have that fun frilly detail that i didn’t realized i loved until i saw these. they have an interesting shape and did i mention that these are super easy to make? just a couple pieces of paper, some glue and viola! a rosette. then the wheels started churning. these would make the garland that i really wanted POSSIBLE! it would take nothing to punch a couple holes on the sides of the rosettes and string them together! and then i saw this:

oh mrs. taffy, how i heart you. i can alternate rosette sizes to achieve that cool look. can you tell i’m getting excited just thinking about it? and how i’m already thinking of making a prototype? oh be still my beating heart!
and you know what’s even better? stumbling upon these from once wed:


you see what i can do?! behold! the power of the rosette!
