Has Anyone Made a Tissue Pom Pom / Paper Lantern Backdrop?? (Pic)
GoneAndMarried, on December 1, 2014 at 2:35 PM

I am in love with the look of this backdrop and want to incorporate it somehow for my ceremony. I am curious if anyone had made one? If so, how did you do it? How labor intensive was it? Expensive?...
