{Monday Moods at DIY Weddings} Hot Air Balloons

This high-flying inspiration board at Postcards & Pretties inspired me to search the web for more weddings with a hot air balloon motif. I love the vivid poppy red paired with soft blue in this board. Very striking!

Get sweet inspiration for a dessert table like this beauty featured on the Amy Atlas blog that sports a travel theme with hot air balloon decor and treats. This entire post is filled with gorgeous details you must see!

I’m swooning over these pretty-in-pink hot air balloon centerpieces featured at Love & Lavender! This celebration had the theme “the sky’s the limit” and was held on the hotel’s roof top. You’ll enjoy reading more about this lovely wedding here.

Need some wedding invitations with hot air flair? A simple search on Etsy yielded 125 options for you to peruse! The print-it-yourself suite from Green Cherry Factory shown above caught my eye immediately! I love the vintage vibe and the soft mint sky background. But there are many beautiful options to consider in a variety of styles and colors in the Etsy Gallery.

My favorite thing about mid to late spring is local strawberries. Strawberries are fun as a graphic element, too, because they’re an interesting shape and cheerful color. Let’s stitch some strawberry cross stitch patterns.

Craft Club Co AU has this cute kind of retro strawberry pattern with a pink checkerboard background. The pattern pages doesn’t give a lot of details but it looks like is uses at least 7 colors and it says it will fit in an 8 by 10 frame when stitched on 14 count fabric.

For a classic farmhouse look, check out the strawberry pattern from Largodargento Shop. This one reminds me of little wild strawberries, and it has a bit of a mandala design with other geometric shapes.

Speaking of classics, you can also stitch a strawberry alphabet sampler from Curious Carrie Designs. It is 54 stitches square, which comes out to 3.86 inches or 9.8 cm square. It calls for 8 colors and was stitched on 32-count linen. Keep it flat or turn it into a biscornu stitched with flowers and bees.

This strawberry pincushion from The SubRosa Design is super sweet and of course could be framed instead of using it as a pincushion if you’d rather. This one is 93 stitches square, or about 5.3 inches/13.5 cm square stitched on 36 count linen as shown.

This graphic, slightly abstract strawberry design from Box and Fox is so much fun and would be great to have on your kitchen wall or in your breakfast area. It measures 98 by 141 stitches, which comes out to 7 by 10 inches or 17.78 by 25.58 cm on 14 count fabric. The design uses 6 colors.

Don’t let the mice get your strawberries! This oddly cute design from Tourmaline Pattern measures 95 by 94 stitches and uses 16 colors. I love the look of it on black fabric, because it really makes the mice and the flowers pop. On 14 count fabric this comes out to 6.7 inches or about 17 cm square.
