My parents and I made paper pom poms for my wedding. We hung them from park benches for the ceremony and from the ceiling for the reception. Etsy vendor, PomLove, now sells them in a myriad of colors pre-cut and tied. They are such an inexpensive way to add color to your wedding.
I have long been a fan of the work that comes of of Savannah College of Art and Design. The animation above is a recent grad’s final project. Wonderful.
It has been around 100Ëš everyday here in central Florida. I now wear comfortable cotton dresses or skirts to beat the heat. If it’s Summertime in your town, Anthropolgie has some great new frocks.
