Wedding Gifts

Wedding Season appears to be in full tilt around us.  I have more than one friend out of town to visit matrimony bliss.  I never grow tired of weddings. 

 Even though, I am happily married with three sons (no daughters), and thus never expect to plan another wedding (unless I hit the jackpot and get a future daughter in law the begs me for my services...fingers crossed).  And yet, I could spend hours looking at wedding posts on Pinterest.  Picture after picture full of magic and whimsy.  There are some seriously talented brides-to-be out there. 

However, I am lucky enough to get to create custom wedding gifts from time to time.   A couple from this summer turned out well enough to share.  You've already had a sneak peak of the first one...but haven't been properly introduced.  I like to call this little gem, Mr. & Mrs. I love the fonts, simple with a hint of whimsy.

This one brings a lot more drama to the table with its satin bow and detailed monogram.

 It's large enough to be a statement piece on its own.  

 I'm loving the personalized detail.

Both signs will show up in my Etsy shop very soon.   Just in case you know a talented bride-to-be in your neck of the woods.  Wishing those couples a happily ever after!

A Wedding and A Monogram

This past weekend I got to take a little trip to spend time with family and attend the wedding of my cousin. 

Here's the happy couple.

Their special day began with a beautiful ceremony here: 

The bride called me a few months ago to ask for my ideas and help with the reception.  Since I'm the vinyl decal queen, that's quickly where my thoughts turned.  I designed the cute couple a monogram and then stuck it everywhere.  Here it is on the chapel doors.

 I wish my pictures were better but the evening reception lighting was all I had to work with.

 Lighting the way to these doors, were a row of lumiares.  I couldn't get enough of the snow.  It's a rare treat for a southern girl like me.

Once inside, a row of bow hung engagement photos greeted the guests.

Then the sweetest little table beckoned guest to pause and jote down a note for the new couple.

Is that not the greatest guest book ever!?

And of course, the monogram popped up again.

And again!

I also used it on the dance floor

 And surrounded it with some scattered snowflakes.  The littlest guests had such a fun time hopping from flake to flake.

 You have to see her cake and it's carraige

 And the milk and cookie buffet

 We made these poof balls the day before out of tissue paper.  An inexpensive touch of softness.

 And last but not least, I couldn't leave the centerpieces out.  They got a monogram treatment of their own. 

And that in a nutshell was my sweet cousins wedding.  Soooo glad I got to be a part of it.

Floral Initial Tile

This idea came to me via a friend last Christmas who was looking for a gift that she could use for everyone on her list. 

Wouldn't this be an awesome wedding gift as well?  I'm offering the vinyl decals to make this item at my Etsy shop.  Unfortunately, the tile is not included - I'm too afraid to ship them.  Cracked tiles aren't much fun to get in the mail.  But, the decal is simple to apply, and is perfectly sized for a 12" tile that can be picked up at Lowe's or HomeDepot for less than $1.

Family Name Sign

This one is a super popular gift for weddings. It can be personalized with a last name of your choice and done in any color combo.

Wedding Stacker

This sweet little set of three blocks can be personalized any way you'd like. A wedding date, names, place, etc. could be interchanged for any of the shown wording. This was specifically designed as a wedding gift but could also work as a valentine for a special someone.
