Real wedding: seating chart and table decorations for the movie themed wedding

I
t's time to share some pictures from the movie themed wedding I organized last month!

 Weddin location was a beautiful villa in the country in the province of Reggio Emilia, Italy

  Here was the how I realized the seating chart and this is the final result in the wedding hall:

Bride and groom decided to chose a movie to decor each table.
For each table I made a centerpiece, a little frame with the plot of the movie and a plaque with the title, all in purple!!

Bride and groom table

"Gone with the wind", bride's favourite movie:

 So romantic!

"Sex and the City" table:

 

"Pulp Fiction" table:

"Modern Time" table:

"Pretty Woman" table:

 

"Stand By Me" table, groom's favourite movie:

"The Gladiator" table:

"Titanic" table with the heart of the ocean:

"Kill Bill" table:

"Back to the Future" table with the DeLorean with purple flowers and tulle! (I made it with paper mache and I painted it with metallic silver acrylic)

 "The Untouchables" table:

"2001 Space Odissey" table:

"The Departed" table:

"Million Dollar Baby" table:

"Far and Away" table.
Ok, here I have to explain... in Italy this movie title has been translated "Rebel hearts", I wanted to represent it in a funny way so I made two rebel hearts...two hearts full of tattoos... :) Ok, in short I do not know why I came to do so... :) but the bride loved it!!

"The Pursuit of Happyness" table:

"Blade Runner" table with the unicorn origami:

 "The Shawshank Redemption" table, in Italy title has been translated "Wings of freedom" so I made two cute purple wings...I know they are not very suitable for a film set in prison...but for a wedding!

 
"Into the Wild" table:

What do you think of this couple movie themed tables?
Bride and groom and all their guests loved the decorations, it was really a success, I'm so happy to have fulfilled all their wishes in their special day. It was a big satisfaction and great joy for me, after all that work.


Of corse could not miss the cake topper and the guestbook!!
They asked me for a different cake topper compared to those which are in my Etsy shop, they wanted me to make two figurines inspired by their own, but in a more cute way, with the same dresses and accessories.
I will show you everything on my next post!

Upcoming movie theme wedding! Sex and the city centerpiece

Movie theme wedding is really close now! I have completed all the decorations for the 18 centerpieces, but today bride gave me 2 more movies, she had to add other guests!

We did a proof for the "Sex and the city" centerpiece, of course we will prepare all the others on the wedding day since we use only fresh flowers, white and purple lisianthus.

I love it! It's so personalized and original!! Bride wants something really unique and is very happy with the result.
Now I'm working on the guestbook and of course... the cake topper!

Another Christmas centerpiece... in gold and pink!!

I 'm very happy that my other centerpiece in red and gold had a huge success!!
(I made it few days ago and I wrote about it here:

http://perlillapets.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-centerpiece-in-gold-and-red.html)

So I had an order for another centerpiece but this time
in pink and gold!

For this I used a wooden plate as base, fuchsia fabric roses, wooden roses, dried seeds, pink and fuchsia ribbon, tulle, glitter, golden balls, a star and a candle with its candle holder.

I completely covered a fabric rose of fuchsia glitter, this is the centre of my composition, from here I started adding all the other elements.
Candle holder is hidden in the centre of the composition.

The back of the centerpiece:

*♥* For a sweet and lovely Christmas!! *♥*

Tutorial & creative recycling : Orange candle holder!

A
fter drinking a good and healthy orange juice do not throw away orange peels, they can be very fragrant candle holders!

To realise this very simple idea
 You need:
- oranges
- knife and spoon 
- little candles

1- Cut in half the orange and empty it with a spoon:

 

 2- Put a small candle inside the orange peel:

 When you will turn on the candles you will fill your home with a delicious aroma of orange!

You can put some oranges candle holders on a glass tray and embellish it with dried flowers and dried orange slices.

 You can put one by one in a glass:

To embellish and perfume your home for Christmas!

Christmas Centerpiece in gold and red! A gift for a special person

I
 saw a Christmas centerpiece in an interior design magazine, decorated with dried flowers, pine cones, twigs...It was all in white and silver, it made me want to try to make one myself! 
My beloved grandmother loves this kind of things so I thought to give it to her for the Christmas table. She loves the traditional gold and red for holidays so I used these colors.


Here are the materials I used to compose my centerpiece:

- A ceramic plate as base
- Red fabric flowers
- Gold glitter
- 2 golden balls
- 1 red ball
- a golden candle holders
- A stripe of golden fabric ( I used it to make a bow)
- Red ribbon
- Dried seeds, fruits and wood chips

I glued each object with the hot glue.

The funniest part: fill all the fabric flowers with gold glitter!! I used vinyl glue diluted in water to stick the glitters.

Magically transform themselves from everyday flowers to party flowers!

Here is the finished centerpiece!

 Every side is different:

I hope my grandmother will like it, I made it with lot of love!
