Tips for Using Pom Poms in Your Wedding
- Pom poms are relatively easy to make. For wool, you can try the old school card method or, buy a handy-dandy pom pom maker! For tissue pom poms, you can also DIY these or, find them in discount or party stores.
- Pom poms will always look better in clusters rather than alone and pairing different sizes of pom poms will also create the best visual impact.
- Pro styling tip: Always hang pom poms in odd numbers, 3, 5 or 7 so they don't look too symmetrical.
- Make a few extra tissue paper balls to scatter on the floor and on tables to give the entire space added pops of colour.
- Plan out your colours carefully, you can opt for a kaleidoscope of colour or go for an ombre aesthetic with similar tones.
