I was recently reading a post about pinwheels over at $2000 Wedding, and ever since I'm been stark raving mad about paper pinwheels. There is something so utterly romantic and playful about them! And I feel like they have so much hidden versatility, not to mention their absolute customize-ability and cost-effectiveness! So far, I've come up with 10 potential ways to use them, many of which could save you considerable cash:
- Have guests waive them in lieu of bubbles, rice or birdseed when sending you off!
- Incorporate them into floral centerpieces.
- Or, forget the flowers altogether and use a bunch of pinwheels AS the centerpiece!
- Write guests' names and tables on them, and use for escort cards.
- Top cupcakes with mini-pinwheels for a playful cake table.
- Leave them on the kids table for the young and young at heart.
- Tuck them into the napkins at each place setting for a whimsical favor.
- Give them to your flower girls to carry during the ceremony instead of a basket.
- Put your pinwheels on extra-long sticks and plant them in the ground for a festive aisle runner.
- If you really want to get creative, you could even make your invite with instructions for how to turn them into pinwheels.
Anyways... I clearly have no life... if you want to learn how to make your very own adorable pinwheels, the blogosphere is filled with great tutorials! I've compiled some of my favorites to share but if you know of more, I'd love to hear them! What would you do with pinwheels at a wedding?
