Updated Shoe Clip

The final shoe clip with the bridesmaid shoe :)  So cute!

Card Box

I wanted something a little different than the standard cardboard box wrapped up with a big bow on it for our wedding card box.  I research a bit online and found some really cool ideas.  My favorite was using a vintage suitcase and having a little banner running across the top.

I didnt have enough time to find a really cool old-school suitcase so I found this cool box at TJMaxx.  I madethe little "cards" baner and voila!

Flower Girl Basket

Of course I wanted to make Ellie's flower girl basket myself, so it could have that little extra touch :)  I found the basket on sale at Michaels, hot-glued spanish moss around the brim, and then added little yellow petals.  Can't wait to see her walk down the aisle with it!

Family Tree/Guest Book

I've seen this modern-day guest book done alot recently and I really like the idea.  I had my artistic brother, Christian, draw the tree for me.  The idea is to have all of the wedding guests leave their fingerprints on a branch, which creates the leaves of the tree.  Christian did an awesome job on the tree.. can't wait till its all full :)

 

Parents

 I really wanted to have pictures of both our parents on their wedding day displayed in the reception hall.  I framed them in white, wood and am happy with how them came out.  Guess whose parents are whose :)

Another necklace

This is non-wedding related, but with the positive reactions I got from the necklace I did for my bridesmaids, I decided to do another one, just for fun, and start up my own Etsy shop.  I'm still deciding on how much I want to charge, but I went ahead and started them a little higher just for kicks... Voila:

 

Put your dancing shoes on!

So in efforts to save money, I thought instead of renting a dance floor (the brick in the tent where the dancing will be held is slightly uneven), I can just supply flip flops to all the ladies in heels.  I found this cute way of displaying them and am going to try something similar:
