    Several months ago, I made 7 humongous poms to hang on the chairs going up the aisle during the ceremony. I dedided they were way to big, so I took them all a part and redid them smaller; ending up with 10 poms. Each one has a hanging ribbon to hang on the chairs, but I decided I didn't really love that idea, so I knew I had to think of something else. I have been wracking my brain about how to incorporate feathers into the ceremony without the feathers overtaking everything, so I kept making trips to Michaels and Joanns for inspiration. Well, last week, I finally got my inspiration and decided to make feather vases for the poms. They still have the ribbon hangers, so I will be able to sell them after the wedding, but they also serve a dual purpose by sitting in a vase. Here are some pictures of the finished project.

    LOVE IT!  What a fabulous and creative way to use pomanders!  I think that the feathers make it pop and give it a youthful and unique edge.  They will look fabulous lining the aisle.

    I had been thinking of shepard's hooks, but now...I may just have to borrow this idea.  Wink

    @MissAdventure: Thank you :-)

    I wanted to use shephards hooks, but we will be inside, so that wouldn't work. I also think that this is a different look than other people have done. And please, borrow away!!!

    @noritake22:I think its very different.  I've scoured the internet in my wedding planning, and I can't recall seeing this before.  Again...fantastic job!

    It is my goal to be different. I have never liked to be like everyone else.

    Those are definitely eye catching!  What type of flowers did you use for the poms?

    @noritake22: I did basically the same thing to place one each corner of the platform for my sister's wedding. I used big clear vases with vines inside with a gigantic pomander on top.

    Yours turned out great!

    Hi,

    These look great! How much did each pom cost about? I'm looking at using these for my pew decorations also..

    Thank you ladies :-)

    They looked great at the wedding and the guests loved them!!!

    @Ronneykay: I will post pictures when I get all the detail pictures back from our photographers. I have a couple right now, but they have proof on the pictures. Good luck with your invitations and save-the-dates. Remember, you only need one per household and one for your srapbook, if you are doing one.

    @christinenadine: Please steal away :-)
