Up in the Rafters

I’m still on a hunt to find something to hang across the beams in our venue. I saw these lovely garlands and thought they were beautiful!

So, off I went to try and find some sort of template to make these fabric flowers. I knew I had seen something like this, and then remembered that of course Martha has one!

Then of course, I still like the pom and ribbon idea:

So, what do you think? If we’re looking to do tables and flowers along these lines:

For our venue, what do you think we should hang from the beams?

1) Fabric Dahlia Garlands
2) Multi-Color Tissue and Ribbon Poms
