When I first saw this feature on pop-up decorations from Martha Stewart Weddings, I was pretty skeptical. I just haven’t seen too many pop-up decorations that look really great and although the pictures in Martha Stewart Weddings are always gorgeous, I wasn’t convinced that the concepts could be easily recreated without just a hint of tackiness.

Then I came across this lovely storefront image of the pop-up decorations at Fat Cat Paperie and decided to give the pop-up decorations a second chance.

With the right mix of colors, groupings, and other complementing details, pop-ups can be an inexpensive and beautiful way to add color and texture to your wedding decorations.

I think they look particularly amazing when used in large quantities and when the colors work together to highlight otherwise ordinary details. In the picture above, for instance, several golden and cream pop-up strands bring out the golden in the beverages on the table, and the pink and cream wall contrasts really well with the crisp, white table cloth.

A wall of garlands, as displayed above, would also make a lovely custom photobooth backdrop!
