This creative couple certainly thought outside the box with their reception decorations. Using coffee filters they dipped them in water color paint and made them into garlands that draped over their reception tables. Sometimes a budget can make you look for alternate, more affordable options. If you love this idea but really don’t have the time check out etsy.com for some more handmade options. This is a great idea too for birthday parties or other celebrations. Our stylist tip though is to make sure you have enough garland to really make an impact. This garland would not have the same affect if there were only a few strands going over the tables. Abundance and multiples really make that wow statement.
