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.
*better picture to come after the wedding!
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 :)
