DIY Petal Decorations~So Pretty!

Examples of some of the DIY projects I've been OBSESSING over since I got engaged! BRIDEZILLA!!!

I made the balloon cover, the chair cover, and the chandelier using silk rose petals, tulle, fishing wire, and crystals. The glassware is from a variety of sources including ikea, lunabazaar, and michaels. My wedding colors are pink and ivory/white, with turquoise as the accent color. The wedding is outdoors and it's a vintage wedding theme. I am going to do almost everything myself.

I am also more than willing to help out fellow weddingbees in the LA area looking for a photographer, makeup artist, or hairstyler (I can do all three!). I can also help out with wedding decorations (examples of my work are above. Also, I am taking floral design classes this summer!) I am trying to raise funds for my own wedding since my parents aren't going to be able to help me out. 

I second the request for the balloon cover instructions, please.  It is quite wonderful!!!!

Here is another DIY project I did. This one took FOREVER.

Here are the instructions:

• I bought petals from www.petalgarden.com, ($49.95 for 3,000) and then I used fishing wire (8 lb trilene from Wal-Mart~$5) and a needle to string the petals together. I double-looped each petal so that there could be some friction in order to prevent the petals from just sliding all over the place. I also tied a double knot at the first bottom petal to keep it from falling off the wire. The fishing wire was pre-cut in 1-yard pieces, and then I would make three lines with 18 petals each and sew them together to make one strand with 54 petals.
• The length of the pole is supposed to be about 183" and it's a curtain rod that i bought from ikea ($9) and I drilled holes into it (all the way through to the other side) by using a small drill bit to tie it onto the pole. Each hole was one inch apart.
• The height of the curtain is about 10 feet, and the width is 183". I have about 160x54 petal strands to equal about 8,640 petals total (warning: this project will consume you).
• I started sometime in late February and have been working on it until now. It took a REALLY long time though (on average, I would say I've worked on it about 30 hours a week at least....maybe even longer...) but you can just make the petals while doing something else~like watching TV, so it's good if you like to multi-task like me.
• I hope this answers your question :) If you want to know anything else, let me know

Wow that is stunning! You spend so much time on all of your projects and it shows. Excellent work~!

So wished I lived in LA. These are AMAZING! Going to try it myself.

so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! How will you be using these and can you please post instructions for the chandelier please!?
