Filigree Fun

I can't get enough of brocade inspired design. It's so hot right now; there is no end to it's adaptability. It can add an element of elegance to a room: or a modern flare to an invitation:
It can spice up your basic dinnerware:
or create the perfect wedding cake:
Not just black and white; try it out in a deep salmon or a mint green. Use it as an accent or a focus. Make it your own. Check this out if you're a fellow fan: http://www.brocadedesign.co.uk/?cid=12.

DYI: Hanging Sheers

Let's get this party started right with the coolest thing I've seen today. This is just 4-5 inch organza ribbon, purchase on bulk bolts and hung from a tension rod. I think the effect is fab! I can totally see this behind a dessert table, a backdrop for a picture display, cover up unpleasant walls at a venue, or creating a crazy-cool effect to your basic entry-way. OK, fine, maybe even as a *gulp, gulp* backdrop for a receiving line. This could work with any color scheme to add a modern flair to the big day! Easy, easy.
