Wedding Stationery Inspiration: DIY Table Runners
Linens are a simple standard that make their way into almost every wedding. And while they can add a little color, it’s probably not the place you want a lot of pattern or fine detail. Instead, try adding some texture and color to your table with a fun, DIY table runner. I rounded up a few of my favorites that use paper as the main material in crafting up these lengthy pieces. The best part is you can easily switch out the colors here and mix in your own color palette for instant decor! Not to mention, these paper pieces will barely put a dent in your wedding day budget. – Lauren

Party Paper: Pot(Luck) of Gold
St. Patrick’s Day never gets as much attention as some of the other holidays (especially when Easter is just around the corner!), but I think it’s always worth celebrating. With a potluck (of gold), that is! Throw a little gilded gathering at work, with friends or with the kids and celebrate that pot of gold we’re all searching for at the end of the rainbow. —Kelly

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 8: Meri Meri
I may have let out an audible gasp and a few excited squeaks while walking around the Meri Meri booth at NYNOW. An entire booth full of the most amazing party supplies you’ve ever seen – from donut plates and gift tags to seriously cool letter banners to confetti rockets and cupcake kits. Too much to squeeze into a highlight post, so I’m sharing some of my favorites from the Meri Meri booth here!
So cute, right?! That’s a wrap on the Winter 2015 NYNOW market – but if you missed any of the previous posts you can find them right here!
NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 7
I always describe the Kate Spade and Ban.do booth as the happiest booth at any trade show. And really, with that much sparkle and color in such a small area, how could it not be??
1. I seriously covet that amazing watermelon cooler bag and leather totes (oh, and this striped duffel bag) from Ban.do – and a sneak peek at their 2016 planners coming soon!
2. So much sparkle at Kate Spade, from a gold polka dot ice bucket (WANT) and hologram silver leather notebooks to gold glitter coasters!
3. Love the gorgeous fabric totes, bags, and zip pouches from Maika – so many wonderful patterns and colors!
I’ve got one final post from NYNOW coming up in just a bit – and you can also see more from NYNOW on Instagram at #OSBPatNYNOW!
