Pomanders

I'm really torn about how to decorate for the ceremony... we are going to have an arch, but I can't decide if I want the white arch that we can rent from the ceremony/reception venue, or if I want to borrow the beautiful dark metal arch that my mom's friend offered (used in her daughter's wedding in June).  I don't know which will look better with my ivory dress, in the light colored courtyard (white stucco walls and white cement floor),

There are also going to be white chairs... yes, I know weddings are white, but come on... how can we incorporate some COLOR!?!?!??!

As I read the blogs I follow, I find really cute things that people are doing and then I do some more research and find other ideas that piggy back off the first idea and then I can't decide...

Today's tough decision... POMANDERS... to use, or not to use.  Here are some examples...

They seem easy enough... no matter what you make them out of.  The part I'm having a hard time deciding is how much time I really want to put into these.  I really like the size of the ones in the last picture... smaller versus larger.  I just don't know, at this point, how much time I want to put in to them... do I want to make the flower (tissue paper or fabric) or do I just want to put the things together (silk flowers) and hope they fill in enough.  Either way... add them to the list.
