it's all in the details: pinwheels

who doesn't love pinwheels?? they are so fun and flirty and a great little detail to add to your special day.  you can make a bunch of them and take pictures in a field of pinwheels... or make super sized ones like this cute couple did.
you can also use mini pinwheels on your tables to add a little whimsy and playfulness to your centerpieces.
all sorts of materials can be used to make them... fun and funky paper that matches your wedding theme (i love the use of maps the featured couple used!) or use tissue paper like in the pictures above, instructions for making these delicate tissue paper pinwheels here, and paper ones here and you can purchase here.
and if you are feeling extra playful, you could wear the pinwheels in your hair (ladies) or on your lapel (gentlemen)!
