My Adorable Fans!!

Paddle fans that is. To reiterate from my post "Keeping the Water Cold", we're having a mid-june wedding and it was important for us to have different ways of keeping our guest comfortable. So I decided to kill two birds with one stones, making my wedding programs hand-held fans that the guest cold use to keep themselves cool.




How did I make them? I have a template that I used for the body. The sticks are jumbo craft sticks from Walmart and are painted with Krylon spray paint. The bows are hand tied and all the rhinestones are hotfix rhinestones. The paper was affixed to the stick with 3M spray adhesive. This was a tedious process but so worth it, at least I think.

What are you doing for programs?

Keeping The Water Cold

When my hubby to be and I decided that we wanted an outdoor wedding, we knew that we wanted to have personalized bottles of water. We wanted to find ways to keep our guests cool short of renting a tent which was impossible given the awkwardness of our ceremony venue.

Anyway, back to the water. We wanted a fun and cute way of keeping our personalized water bottles cold without having to put them in ugly coolers. I just wasn't comfortable with the thought of igloos at a formal ceremony.

While shopping at Target one day, we just happened to wander into their seasonal aisle and, guess what we found?





Aren't they awesome!?! I got one white one and one red one and of course two stands. I think I'll add a black bow on each end of them. These cute beverage tubs are available at Target and come in a variety of different colors on the website. They have select colors available in the store. I believe they were $14.99 each and the stands that you put them on were $9.99 each.

I adore them. They are perfect. I hope this post helps another bride out.
