  • Patty on August 23, 2009

    Tissue pom-poms make any space fun yet graceful. My chubby hubby’s birthday is coming up (his first one since we’ve been married), and I have no clue how we’re celebrating! Although I do love to set the mood with fun decor. Some pistacchio-colored pom-poms near the front door would do the trick! I’m thinking about making a special dessert (fruit tart)…any suggestions??

  • Julie on August 23, 2009

    These pom poms are amazing. Our ceremony is at an old fashion movie theater and they would look amazing :) Our colors are navy blue & raspberry.
    Thank you for the consideration :)

  • Fete on August 23, 2009

    real cute!!

  • Rachel on August 23, 2009

    The poms would be perfect for my outdoor cocktail area at my wedding venue. I can see them in my blues/purples/green wedding colors set off by some cute twinkle lights!

  • emily on August 23, 2009

    i love this tissue paper poms! they would add the perfect modern twist i’ve been hoping for to my lakeside cocktail wedding reception. my colors are all spring and sunshine: pink, orange and yellow.

    I absolutely love these pom poms! However being a creatively challenged person I have learnt it is always better to purchase (or win) such a decoration for my reception in New Zealand!

  • Judith on August 25, 2009

    After reading your wedding blog, I think you may have inspired me to do my own at some point.

  • Ericka on August 25, 2009

  • Kristin C on September 19, 2009

    I love the creative paper detail craze sweeping the wedding world! No better or easier way to add whimsy to an event. Shades of blue poms would be lovely
