The Best Idea that Isn’t Mine

April 23rd, 2011 @ 2:00 pm by Mrs. Hyena

In all seriousness, I am really glad that on Thursday Pandora told me I had used up all my free listening hours this month. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have gone to Yahoo Music and started playing random music videos as background noise for working, and I wouldn’t have seen Taylor Swift’s “Mine” video.

I had talked to Mom Hyena about doing some kind of slideshow, of the aww-here-we-are-growing-up-and-yay-we-found-each-other variety, and I didn’t want it to be something we had to force people to sit through. I thought it would be convenient to just play one before the ceremony on loop, so if people want to watch they can.

But I like the idea in this video sooooo much more than just a regular slideshow! Press play. The photograph idea is thrown in several places throughout the video.

Video via YouTube

Pretty, huh? To me it just looks like string and photographs, but I love the way they swirl in the wind. I might have to figure out a way to incorporate photos that way instead. Maybe for outdoor portraits? There’s a pretty wooded area right outside the church that I imagine we’ll use for pictures, and it would be pretty to have photographs blowing in the breeze…

Have you found inspiration in any unusual places?

Love this idea! This is a great and unique way to display photos. I also like the idea of hanging photos on a line with tiny little clothes pins! Thank you for posting this!

I love this idea. I have been thinking about doing something similar at our venue and hanging pictures along the staircase that leads up to the reception venue.

Super cute! Since you’re getting married in Texas, I recommend putting the photos on card stock or something sturdy so they don’t get all limp and warped in the humidity. They should still blow in the wind that way too. hook ‘em horns :-)

I actually had the same idea because of this video!!! We did a trial run and are going to be gluing the paper onto cardstock and having a picture on both sides!!! Another great idea are getting wedding pictures from all your family and use those also… (I really love the old ones that my grandma gave me!!! but make sure to use copies not the original lol)
