Outside DIY Wedding-- Chair Ribbons!

Planning an outdoors wedding for this summer, or perhaps next summer? We love this DIY tip from emmalinebride.com. 

Here at Grand Volute, we are able to host outdoor weddings, and will even provide the chairs for all of your guests. They're white chairs, and are classy by themselves, but, unfortunately, chair covers don't work well for them. But hold on a second! This is even better! 

Decorating each chair with coordinating ribbons really spices up the outdoor setting, and looks absolutely wonderful  when the wind blow a bit! They're easy-- simply loop them around the back of each chair, and ribbon can be SO cheap! Even cheaper than chair covers. :) 

Think about it!  

Make Your own Banner!

Wanted to quickly share this awesome link with all of our friends! This link will bring you straight to a lovely blog, that has downloadable links to THE cutest banners. The best part about this deal-- it's such a cute banner, and will work with baby showers, wedding showers, bachelorette parties, graduation parties, weddings--- you name it! It's colorful, and fully customizable. Simply download the letters that you need (the most common letters have duplicates!), string them together (we suggest simply putting two slits in each corner, and threading some cute ribbon through) and hang! Voila! A cheap and cute banner!

Cupcake Week!

Looking to save a few bucks when it comes to wedding desserts? Go to a wholesale store, such as Costco or Sam's Club, and order your cupcakes there! Then, look into having custom cupcake toppers made, and top each one with a topper! You'll save hundreds of dollars-- possibly more!

Herbal Centerpieces

A few weeks ago we posted about including herbs in wedding floral arrangements-- check out these herbal centerpieces! Super cute! I'm sure they smell wonderful, as well! 

Here at Grand Volute Ballrooms, we are super excited for summer. We are trying something new this year: growing our own herbs! Next time you visit, be sure to check out our raised beds in the back! We will be growing lots of different herbs, and if you check them out, pick a weed or  two for us! :)
