Creative and Fun Wedding Ideas Made Simple Creative and Fun Wedding Ideas Made Simple
Here it is, folks! Our very first “Featured Person” post on The Wedding Bistro! And we couldn’t be more thrilled to be starting the series with the talented and gracious artist Ann Martin, the lady behind the incredible blog All Things Paper. If you haven’t come across Ann and her fabulous art of quilling, or rolled paper art, then you’re truly missing something. We have been following her site for years, and it is a treasure trove of talent!
Featured items: Quilled heart necklace / Snowflakes invitation mat / Art nouveau invitation mat / Marriage certificate with chandelier / Woodland theme marriage certificate
Not only is Ann’s own paper art amazing—from meticulously created marriage certificates to invitation mats to place cards to anniversary mementos (and that’s only the wedding-related ones!), plus paper jewelry. But she is just so generous about sharing the techniques and tips for you to venture into quilling yourself. Plus she is ever on the lookout for equally awesome paper art and crafts by artists from around the world. So if you want to be wowed and charmed—and yes, encouraged to try quilling, too!
As Ann herself remarks, “I hope you’ll be inspired to look at paper in a new light.”
