Wedding Crafts [# 2]

card box

Custom card box.  Card boxes are really expensive and I figured I could make one for much cheaper. Mine cost around $30.  Much  more manageable cost wise!

guestbook sign

I purchased this wood frame from hobby lobby, stickers from Walmart and fabric from Jo Ann’s.  Wow, lots of craft stores but I really like how the sign came out.

large letters

Random letters?  Why not!?!

ring bearer pillows

 

This was one of my favorite crafts.  I made ring bearer pillows instead of purchasing them.  I love that I have things we can pass down to our children that were used in our wedding.

Wedding Photos [#1]

I apologize for the photo overload (and this is Wedding photos part 1!) but I just want to make sure to document the wedding.  There were a ton of last minute changes but it was still incredibly beautiful and more than I could have imagined!

Hangeranddress

One of my friend’s from church made me this beautiful hanger.  I thought she was bringing a hanger that just said “Bride” and she had made this one for me! :)

dresses lined up

My Bridesmaids all wore the same Petal dress from David’s Bridal.  I had ages 12-30 as Bridesmaids and wanted to make it flattering for everyone!

getting into dress

The “Mom buttons up the dress” photo.  While this was being taken, not going to lie, I was having major worries because she could not get the underneath bra to be hidden.  I had to call in reinforcements.

dress freakout

This is one of the freak out photos :)

ringsandinvitation

The photographers took some beautiful photos with our invitations and rings.  I love having them.

collarstays

I made Josiah some handstamped collar stays to wear in his shirt on our wedding day.  I loved how he had the photographer take photos of them!

first look cry

This was the first look.  I could not hold it together at all.  Josiah has an awesome expression.

wedding day prayer

I love my husband and his Godly leadership.  He pulled me in to pray after the first look.  I love this photo.

The weather called for rain on our wedding day so we moved the ceremony and reception in doors.  It didn’t rain a drop and we were able to take our photos outside in a field behind the church.

Wedding Crafts – Signs [# 1]

I wanted to make sure to have some personal elements in our wedding.  I made some random signs for around the reception.  Up until the week before the wedding everything was going to be outside, but due to the amount of rain we received in Texas, we moved it indoors at the last minute.

You have to do # at wedding’s now.  Yes, it was trendy but due to the last minute changes and everything, it was still beautiful!

Self explanatory :)

I had some random canvases to craft with.  They definitely helped make the space better.

I love the bow that was added at the last minute

unplugged sign

We had an Unplugged Ceremony.  We had a few people who were upset with us, but we have no cell phones in our photos when the photographer took photos from the balcony.  So it absolutely works for me!
