Burlap table runners are one of our most popular rental items. They are seemingly easy to make, but once you get into it, cutting them straight can be quite difficult, and it makes a HUGE mess. What I like about a burlap table runner is that it provides a nice rough texture to a table, […]

Inspiration – Milk Glass III
21 August 2012 – 11:23 am
An old standby on the Ultrapom Blog, this week’s inspiration is milk glass! There are scores of weddings on the internet that feature milk glass in some way, so I am able to find lots of photos. Because it is white, milk glass is paired with almost every color combination, and can be used in […]
Inspiration – Autumnal Orange
15 August 2012 – 9:11 am
It’s easy to decorate for an Autumn wedding, just incorporate a lot of orange and throw some pumpkins on the tables. But how do you have a modern take on Autumn orange? As with most any wedding design, the key is to choosing the right orange and mixing a lot of texture with clean lines. […]
Inspiration – Modern White
31 July 2012 – 7:08 am
White vases add a crisp, modern look to a wedding. They also highlight any color that is incorporated through flowers or linens. White vases look especially good with a patterned tablecloth or table runner. It seems like more clean-line or very graphic weddings are popping up every day – and I love it! We have […]
Inspiration – Brown Rustic Candelabras
26 July 2012 – 7:59 am
Brown metal candelabras are a great addition to a wedding decor that has a rustic setting but still needs to be a bit elegant. They add great height to the table, and can be decorated with flowers to add a pop of color. We have both a low, tabletop brown rustic candelabra and a taller […]
Inspiration – Colored Glass III
17 July 2012 – 2:08 am
Another inspiration post on colored glass, mostly because I like it so much (and because we have hundreds of pieces in stock available for most dates right now!) You can check out my other colored glass inspiration posts here and here. Generally when I think of colored glass, usually vintage, outdoorsy weddings come to mind, […]
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 […]
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 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 arch collection here. […]
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 – 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 […]
Inspiration – Mason Jars
13 December 2011 – 7:15 am
Oh my, mason jars in weddings are popular. There have been manifestos written about mason jars in weddings, and responses to those manifestos. I have already blogged about mason jars, twice. But really, saying ‘mason jars are popular’ is kind of like saying ‘glass cylinders are popular.’ They’re just a base on which you create […]
