Aisle Runner
This is the start of my rose petal aisle runner. I will be making about 250 feet, so I will have about 125 feet on each side.
I used pre-cut 6 inch tulle as the base to hot glue the petals onto. I ordered petals from this ebay store. The shipping was fast and you can't beat the prices for their silk petals.
I started with 4,000 ivory petals and 1,000 dark red, obviously I won't need as many as the ivory. I used a cookie sheet to put the tulle on as I was gluing, I used a non-stick pan so the glue came right off of the cookie sheet.
The hot glue doesn't take very long once you get started :) It'll all be worth it in the end!

Centerpieces
I will be making 8 of these centerpieces for the reception tables and the sweetheart table.
I used a vase from Walmart ($3.47), clear drying tacky glue ($1.87), and packages of leaves from Dollar Tree. I had left over raffia so I used some of that to tie the bow.
I glued around the sides of every leaf and just stuck it onto the inside of the vase. I have had one of these lit for about 4 hours and they have been fine! I was a little worried about the leaves catching fire, but it's okay :)

Ribbon Wands
We'll be using the ribbon wands for after the ceremony. I will have them displayed on a table as you walk to be seated.
I got dowel rods from Walmart in packages of 24 for under $2. I also got the 1/2 inch ribbon from there for .47 cents and bells from Hobby Lobby around Christmas time at 50% off for $2.50.
I cut all the ribbon 12 inches long and fed it through the top of the bell and tied it around the dowel rod and secured the knot with a dot of hot glue.
Easy peazy!
