So, we didn't know if we wanted to do petal toss or not. Actually, I should say: we didn't know if our venue would allow us to do the petal toss or not. I emailed our wedding coordinator and asked if it was okay for us to do the petal toss / petal aisle and she said it was okay, as long as someone cleans it up. She volunteered herself and her husband. Hee hee. Isn't that sweet?
That means, we can have people tossing flower petals at us as we leave. How romantic would that be? That said, I decided to make a regular cone. I didn't like the way the cone pointed out. That means, I have to make the top circular, right? So, I went to my trusty software (printing press) to work on the design. Here's what I did (I think I got the idea from Weddingbee, but forgot from who):
1. Start a new project
2. Click on the layout tab and change to custom size.
3. Then, make the width to be 7" and the height to be 8".
4. Then go to the margin tab and put .25 all around.
5. Create your design. We simply put our names with our wedding date.
6. Then insert the circular shape by right clicking on the newly created stationary, click on design and add shape.
7. You want to select "oval" in the shape session. Under line detail, put the outline color to reflect "1" for the outline portion. Because you don't want the color to be too dark, choose gray as your color. Make sure your oval is 7" in height and width.
8. Then print on a pretty cardstock paper.
I printed mine as a pdf. Here's a jpg of what it looks. Mind you, I printed the crop marks so that I have a guide to know where I'm going to cut.
Since Mr. JB didn't like the plain paper idea, I've been trying to see if there's a 8.5 x 11 paper with pretty patterns. So far, I'm thinking about scanning the paper I bought from papersource and then print that pattern on one side and print our pretty monogram on the other side.
Now I just need to figure out where I'm going to buy the flower petals. Any ideas?
