Part II: Love Notes Wild Seaside Garden

Filed Under DIY (Do-It-Yourself!), Lollipop Events, Weddings 

In case you missed our wild seaside garden infused with song lyrics and love ‘notes’ on Ruffled, we have been posting all the photos again (see Part I) plus some new additions. This day was filled with romance set on the sunny seashore, and surrounded by a plethora of overgrown twisted trees and a garden of wild flowers…

A “message in a bottle” – The Police, made it’s way into this romantic day…

Cake Table – Another love ‘note’ made an appearance with “How sweet it is to be loved by you” – James Taylor. The table was adorned with a peach cake accented with textured flowers and an antique silver pitcher filled with a wild gathering of peach and rose toned blooms. Also making an appearance were sweet little ants on a log made of gourmet chocolate truffles.

A Book of Love was also propped on the sweets table, with another love ‘note’. “I love it when you read to me and you, you can read me anything. I love it when you sing to me And you, You can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It’s full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we’re all too young to know But I love it when you give me things And you, You ought to give me wedding rings And I, I love it when you give me things And you, You ought to give me wedding rings” – Peter Gabriel, Book Of Love

Gift for Him: Serenade your sweetheart with this great gift idea: make a piñata out of old music sheets! Really play up the love ‘notes’ theme by having him channel his inner child and hit the piñata until actual love notes flutter to the ground! Love was literally floating in the air with this gift. Handwritten notes like “will you be my valentine?”,  favorite love song lyrics and inside jokes will make this the most personal and thoughtful gift you could give, while allowing your sweetheart to channel his inner child. Ren and Kiptyn could not contain their giggles as he wore a pink velvet blindfold while blindly swinging.

Gift for her: Her heart was fluttering as gave her a key box with a note that said ‘you’ve got the key to my heart – pull here’. At the end of the pink velvet ribbon she found her gift, a gorgeous vintage bracelet.

The texture of Ren’s soft pink hued Alisa Benay gown dreamily resembled the fluttering love ‘notes’ of the delicate pinata.

For dessert Kiptyn was given a bowl of sweet passionate peaches that read “You’re the cutest thing that I ever did see, I really love your peaches want to shake your tree” – Steve Miller Band

Pinata DIY - blow up balloon (the oversized balloons work best), soak newspaper strips in water and glue, then cover the balloon in them. Cut music sheets into squares and curl the ends of them around a pencil (this will give them the curled shape). After the balloon dries, cover it in the cut music sheets. Pop the balloon and cut a small section to fill up with the love ‘notes’. Reattach the cut piece and cover it with the music sheets.

This day truly hit a high note!

Between both posts, how many song lyrics/love ‘notes’ can you count that made an appearance into the day?!
