Reserved Signs
January 26, 2009
Another mini project done! I will be hole punching the top (once I can find my hole punch!) and tying to the backs of the chairs for the ceremony.
OOT Baskets… Bags… Buckets?
January 26, 2009
So I saw this on a celeb planner blog ages ago and I loved how unique it was. I will be filling it with water, aspirin, gum, Qtips, some snacks and some Del’s RI lemonade packets as well as a welcome letter and some local tourist brochures. My mom wasn’t a fan of these. What do you think?
Menu Cards
January 26, 2009
One of the things I wanted at the wedding was to serve our guests family style. We were served this way at my Christmas party last year and it made for great conversation. Check out our Italian menu courtesy of our amazing caterer – Pranzi!
I did these cards on my gocco and they will be at each place setting.
Photobooth
January 20, 2009
When I first started planning I read in a magazine about having a photobooth at the wedding and I was sold! I love taking pictures and throught high school and college, I was the girl that had the camera and have all those crazy photo ops on film.
I will have vintage hats and other 20s era props for people to take into the booth. The booth prints 2 strips of 4 pics in B&W, and I get a CD of all images after the wedding. I will be working on a handmade guest book over the next couple of months where a copy of the session will be placed. These envelopes I just printed on using my gocco will serve as the favor for the guests to take their copy home in (thanks to Tracey and Tana for inspiration with wording!). So, pictures, favor, guest book in one!!!
PS – I will be using an online site for photobooth rental, as they are more affordable and have the double B&W strip capability that was important to me.
Vintage Find
January 18, 2009
So I knew I wanted to find a vintage purse and I have been searching Ebay for the right one with no luck. I wanted something nice for the day of, but I also wanted to be able to use it again. That ruled out most of the vintage white beaded purses out there. I found this beauty in a vintage shop in Newport. It is from the 30s and the fabric is to die for! It is also a nice way to add some black in, since I didn’t end up with a dress that had a black sash. This definately fits the theme, yet is modern enough to be used as evening bag for any event!
Bridesmaid Shoes
January 18, 2009
Another great find at the Shoe Box in Fall River. $25 – what a deal!
Trash to Treasure
January 18, 2009
What a find! Another knottie had bought these toasting flutes but her accent color was gold rather than silver. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure……
PS – I LOVE Kate Spade!!!
PPS – This is also how I got my Badgley Mishka shoes!
Water Bottles
January 11, 2009
I almost forgot about this one! I am taking an old metal tub and painting “MOONSHINE” on it to go with the theme. I will fill the bucket with these personalized water bottles. I bought glossy paper at Staples and used my Xyron to make them sticky. I will also use these in the OOT packages.
PS – I downloaded the template from the Vintage Glam blog.
Escort Cards
January 10, 2009
More checks! I did these on the Gocco and then Mandy glued the rhinestones on. These were done on silver business cards from Paper Source that I got for $2 a pack/25. I LOVE how they came out!!! Now I just need to do the corks and then address them when I get RSVPs in. I am thinking about trying to find a typewriter to type out the names.
