Pop vs. Bang

I'm a little behind on my reading due to holidays and lately, all of the snow in Northwest Arkansas. I finally sat down to read my November 2010 issue of Brides Magazine! How sad. I did come across a small article that caught my attention and thought I'd share it with you!

BANG: Strings of paper lanterns


POP: Rose petals on the hors d'oeuvres trays
BANG: Rose petals on the tables






POP: Monogrammed hand towels in the bathrooms
BANG: Monogrammed cocktail napkins
