Our gray and white chevron table runner has been featured in another photo shoot! The blog, the East Coast Bride, did a bachelorette party photo shoot with photographer Cassi Claire, for which we happily provided a table runner. Being a part of the photo shoot was exciting on its own, but then it got so [...]

Inspiration – Feathering the Nest
8 May 2012 – 10:24 am
I’ve gotten a couple of requests lately for birdcages to complement ‘Feather the Nest’ (or Feather Her Nest or Feather Their Nest) baby and bridal showers. This theme seems to be very popular lately! As with most any theme, it is generally good to mix up the items you use to decorate with so that [...]
Inspiration – Non-Fabric Table Runners
26 April 2012 – 11:15 am
And…I’m back! After an unplanned hiatus for the last couple of weeks while I feverishly made table runners for lots of different clients, I’m back with this week’s inspiration – more table runners! But this time, they are all made of materials other than fabric. This inspiration is a bit more fantasy than practical, because [...]

Ultrapom has been given several tickets for an advance screening of the movie the Five-Year Engagement next Tuesday, April 24 at the Screenland Armour in North Kansas City!

Client Baby Shower – Sweet Art Food Design & Event Photography
23 March 2012 – 11:13 am
When Renee of Sweet Art Food Design and Event Photography in California contacted me about turquoise and white table runners for a baby shower she was putting together, I was happy to add them to my collection, and excited to see the photos! Renee put together gorgeous food layouts – I love the turquoise (technically [...]
Inspiration – Spring!
21 March 2012 – 2:25 am
When I think of Spring, the pastels of Easter to the more vibrant colors of blooming trees and bulbs come to mind, from Easter dresses and decorated eggs to redbuds and tulips. I love the flowers available for Spring – tulips, ranunculus, peonies and daffodils all have such beautiful colors and shapes. Our milk glass [...]
Inspiration – ALL the colors
14 March 2012 – 3:14 pm
I’ve mentioned before that my friend Kerry is getting married and is big into color. BIG. If you asked her what colors she wants to use in her wedding her answer would be ‘yes.’ It seems like each time I meet with her, I end up doing another post inspired by her. She’s not technically [...]
Inspiration – Cake Stands
7 March 2012 – 12:26 pm
A pretty cake stand, or better yet, a grouping of pretty cake stand really sets off cakes and desserts. They take some simple cookies or cupcakes and make them look more delectable. It’s all in the presentation! Cake stands are great in dessert tables, both at weddings and at baby showers or other events. We [...]
Inspiration – Brass
28 February 2012 – 10:31 am
I think brass (as well as gold) is the next being thing in wedding design. It lends a bit of shine and opulence to the table, and differentiates a wedding from all the silver that has been so popular lately. Brass is still catching on, as most of these images come from inspiration photo shoots, [...]
Inspiration – Bunting
15 February 2012 – 2:47 pm
Bunting makes a big impact without a whole lot of cost. It definitely has a more rustic vibe, so if you are getting married outdoors or in a barn, bunting can add a great pop of color. I recently added bunting to our rental inventory, at the request of a potential client. I only have [...]
Indie Wed!
2 February 2012 – 10:41 am
Last week I had the pleasure of both providing an item for, and attending Indie Wed in Chicago! Indie Wed is a more targeted, unique wedding show that focuses on smaller, independent wedding vendors, and is oriented toward brides that are looking for something a bit different. The vibe at the show was so much [...]
Inspiration – Chevron II
31 January 2012 – 9:56 am
I have been getting a ton of interest in our gray and white zig zag table runners (also known as chevron), and am in talks with several potential clients for yellow and white chevron, blue and white chevron, and orange and white chevron table runners. (If you’re interested in any of these, or another color, [...]
Modern Chuppahs
25 January 2012 – 10:34 am
People are doing such interesting things with chuppahs these days, especially in modern settings. Our simple modern chuppah, rope twist chuppah, and our chuppah frame are all great modern chuppah options. Combined with our chiffon draping, and you can get so many different looks out of any of them! Check out our entire chuppah and [...]
Inspiration – Colored Glass II
17 January 2012 – 10:23 am
Colored glass and/or depression glass has been on my mind lately as I’ve been hitting a lot of thrift stores and estate sales, greatly expanding our range of colored glass and depression glass (though you can’t see it yet on our website – need to add a bunch of it still). I love the pop [...]
Inspiration – Paper Decorations
3 January 2012 – 7:34 am
New year, same blog post – inspiration from around the web! This week’s inspiration is paper flower decorations, mostly the flower poms that are so popular, but also some other paper decorations. I previously did an inspiration post on paper flower arches that you also might like. I love paper decorations. They are a great [...]
Ultrapom in KC Weddings Magazine!
29 December 2011 – 3:41 pm
This is so exciting! About a month ago, Emily Walters from Middle of the Map Weddings and Emmy Ray Floral Design, asked me if Ultrapom would be interested in providing table runners for a photoshoot at Mr & Mrs for a spread in KC Weddings Magazine. Of course I said yes! Emily chose our gray [...]
Inspiration – Apothecary Jars
28 December 2011 – 8:20 am
Apothecary jars are great base pieces for making centerpieces or dessert tables (though I apparently didn’t include any dessert tables with apothecary jars in my dessert table post. Odd. Duly rectified in this post!) They also could be used to hold silverware, guestbook papers, or favors. There’s an awesome terrarium centerpiece shown below, which is [...]
Inspiration – Winter Holidays
21 December 2011 – 7:34 am
With Hannukah starting last night and Christmas right around the corner, I thought it would be great to do an inspiration post based on beautiful winter holiday decorations. Our vintage metal, brass collection, and milk glass would be right at home in any of these photos! I hope you have a great holiday season! image [...]
Client Wedding – Leah and Josh
15 December 2011 – 7:34 am
I had the pleasure of working with Leah and her mom, Sharon, on Leah and Josh’s wedding this past September. I met Leah and Sharon at the ReEvent, where I had half of the chuppah for my own wedding up as part of my display. They were looking for something a lot like my chuppah, [...]
