Pillow Talk

January 13th, 2011 @ 4:03 pm by Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

So I am going about this all backwards, but I’ve had such fun trawling Etsy that I can’t help but share! The short story (soon to be elaborated on in more posts!) is that I want some lounge furniture at the wedding. Lounge furniture needs pillows. I want them to be fun and mis-matched! I also want to keep them after the wedding, for our couches at home! Therefore, I must show you the cutest pillows I’ve found!

These pop-Britannia pillows have been in my favourites forever:

(both from KarenHiltonDesigns on Etsy)

There is also this adorable shabby-chic Union Jack:

We could continue with the flag theme, and get a subtle Canadian flag from the same store:

Or we could get a not-so-subtle Canadian pillow:

We could get wordy pillows, to go with our theme:

If I didn’t have so many other DIY projects, and that little thing called ‘a full time job’, I could needlepoint these adorable ones!

Or maybe we should use our throw pillows to send a message. A very, very important message. It applies to weddings, it applies to workplaces, it applies to homes, it applies pretty much everywhere. I think it is a worthy thing to be put on a pillow, and could be a keepsake from the wedding that would then sit on our couch. I’d smile every time I saw it:

I’ve coveted Alexandra Ferguson’s pillows for a while, but would love the CozyBlue pillow at a wedding. Maybe both…

These are fun. I love the eh? with the leaf and I love me some Union Jack. We totally need a Union Jack something, there is nothing for Mr. G in this whole apartment!

I’m doing the same thing! I’ll be doing tons of lounge furniture set up in my outdoor wedding. I’m making my pillows though :) Hopefully I don’t run out of time and end up making them…
