So I SWEAR I'm not doing any sort of wedding planning yet, and I also SWEAR that this blog will not transform into a wedding-planning blog--one where I share all of the "woes" of putting together such a big event--because I am not going to become one of those people who are completely consumed by their wedding, and because I have far too many other interests to just focus on one event for the next year or so. I will say, however, that from time to time if I come across some gorgeous decorating ideas that can span any event or even prettify your household, I'm going to share them. So, take a look below for some gorgeous DIY "vases" and floral decoration ideas. I found them while perusing one of my favorite arts & crafts sites, craftgawker, this morning (not looking for wedding ideas, but looking to be inspired by other artists!), and I liked each of these ideas enough to save them in a folder for inspiration for down the road... #1. Hanging Bottle Vases: I came across this idea on the adorable blog Blue Velvet Chair, but she found it on Sitting in a Tree Events' blog. The images are from a backyard "engagement party" that turned out to be the actual wedding once all the guests arrived! Adorable.

I think it would look even better with a bit bigger/taller floral arrangement (or just a better choice of flower), but I love the idea of using chalkboard paint (on everything!)...

But I think these are just too cute.  And now I'm inspired! There will be no "regular" floral arrangements at this girls wedding...everything will be in a jar hanging from a string! Hehe :) Lastly, before I go, a total random idea that doesn't fit in with the vase/floral theme at all, but that I just love too much not to share...again, from Blue Velvet Chair who found it on Real Simple's blog.
