My multi-colored fans arrived from AsianIdeas.com


Recommended Posts

My fans came in today!

Straw Fans (12 pcs)

 

I love them. It's kind of odd, but they have tags on them saying they are distributed by oriental trading. I couldn't find any mulit-colored ones the oriental trading website.

 

I am very happy with them, but the quality on all of them isn't perfect. I just thought I'd point this out incase someone is looking for perfect quality. Some are perfect, but a few have flaws. I took a pictureof a bent one & one with a piece out of place. The natural color is exposed on some of them under the weave. Anyway, I'm completely happy with the quality, I just thought I'd point out that they are not perfect incase someone is looking for pristine quality. I plan on trimming up some pieces to make them a little cleaner.

 

They are very light weight which is great for packing.

WARNING the color can come off onto clothes:

Out of curiosity, does the color rub off at all? I had a raffia beach bag and the color rubbed of on my clothing, so I've been hesitant to buy colored fans... "

 

I'm a scientist so I did multiple experiments. It does rub off. I rubbed it with a white towl & some color came off. The fan looks fine, but it could mess up clothes. Then I set it on the towel & it didn't come off so it should be fine if people just set it in their lab. I pressed really hard & it was still fine.

 

I also got it wet incase people are sweaty. It comes off easier when it's wet. Then I got my hand wet & held the fan. Nothing came off on my hand.

 

So I would be a little concerned about the colored fans. I feel like with normal use they should be fine. The most I could see people doing is setting them in their lab. I think I'll spread the word to guests to warn them to be careful with them.

That's why I wanted the color. I'm not decorating the ceremony site. It will just have white tulle on the chairs because that's what they do standard. So this is a great way to add some color. I love bright colors. I registered for fiestaware. This is so my style!


Another thing some people do is to add a colored ribbon the the handle of the natural colored ones to add some color.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
