The best laid plans...

Okay. So with another day home sick from work, I decided to make low-key progress on the decorations. I heated another round of crayons.



And now that I have seemingly enough crayon things to pile into a table decoration, I decided to make examples. There are three different kind of containers they could go in.

...... Does anyone see the problem here? They look weird.
So what now? I have ordered all of these crayons



And want to make sure I use them for the wedding. Any other ideas?
Maybe use the crayons in a different way, on the tables off to the sides, so they are kid-friendly? Here are some samples, using the same three vases...

I feel silly posting this b/c it isn't in my usual nature to worry about things like this. But I fear my best laid plan is going to fail.

Ideas? Anyone?

ALSO, It is probably important to note that there are three sets of table decorations. We've already decided on what's going to be
1) on the tables where people will eat,
2) there are a different kind of decorations for the food (buffet station) tables/for the side tables in the side rooms, and
3) these crayons were for the bathrooms, gift table, bar, etc.. basically other random places needed.

Blogging a Test Run

I stayed home from work sick today, which was a bummer b/c I was feeling poopy, but was nice b/c I got to do little things that I needed to get done. And then the crayons that I ordered came in the mail! While I'm going to wait a few weeks before I get some help from friends to do these in bulk, I had to do a small test run first...

The crayons in their special-order boxes





Broken up into pieces




Just out of the oven





Cooled and ready to be part of the decorations!
