Bright December wedding

My cousin and her boyfriend of 10+ years from high school got married christmas 2013 in Hong Kong.  She sent me this mood board and asked me to make tassel garlands for the weather balloons.   
Tassel garland in the making.







Shipping the disassembled garland was no small feat itself.  I went to fedex and they wanted to charge me an arm and leg so i went to UPS at more than half the cost.  It arrived fast and in one piece!



 When we arrived in hong kong we got to assembling them.  But we soon realized even this was best done on site.





Most of the tassels ended up being used for other decoration besides the balloons.  The tassels can really weigh down the balloons and we were not totally prepared for that.  We improvised and the outcome was not too bad.  She had another banquet a few days later and we reused the tassels that night as well.
