{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.

If you’re putting together Christmas sewing projects, this free Poinsettia embroidery design from Ann The Gran is a really handy one to save. It’s a machine embroidery design from Contributor, sized at 3.64″ x 3.67″, with 14,949 stitches, and it fits a 4″ x 4″ hoop. It’s also offered in a wide range of formats including ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PEC, PES, SEW, VIP, and XXX.

What I like about this one is that it feels classic and easy to use. A poinsettia always works at Christmas, and because this design is fairly compact, it would be lovely on napkins, tea towels, gift bags, table runners, or even the corner of a festive cushion. It has enough detail to look pretty, but it’s still small enough to be practical. That last bit is my take based on the listed size and the preview image on the page.

It’s one of those good stash-building freebies. Not huge, not fussy, and very easy to picture on all sorts of holiday projects. If you like collecting free Christmas embroidery designs, this one is definitely worth downloading. Ann The Gran also tags it with keywords like Xmas, Flower, and Floral embroidery designs, which fits the style nicely.
