Crafty Wedding Planner

Its quite aware that my blog has been a bit neglected. Between the Bridal Shower, Bachlorette Party,Scrap Pink, Wedding, Girls Weekend, and The Picture This bus trip last weekend, My Weekends have been pretty much swamped! The good thing is that the wedding planning stress is over, finals and mid-terms will be over tomorrow afternoon and Ill have more time to create. This post Id like to show you all the stuff I made for the wedding. I tried my best to save money by making as much on my own as I could. Starting with our invitations:
They sure were a lot of work, but worth it in the end, I got a ton of compliments and truly felt they turned out as beauriful as I'd hoped.



next was the boutineres (correct my spelling if Im wrong): This was Kevin's (my husband) his was a little bit larger than the rest of the guys' to seperate his as the groom. Not that the Ivory Tux while the rest of the guys wore brown tuxes didnt give it away, I thought the cattail was a cute, different take on a boutinere, and stayed in the "fall theme" we were going for.

This was my bouquet: the flowers and cattails were all bought seperate and we assembled them like so: the rest of the bridesmaids were the same but had all yellow flowers, this was my first time making flower bouquets, I think they turned out quite nice for a first timer ;)

And last but not least, our card box. I wanted something completely differnt than the traditional "card box" so I called up my grandpa and asked if he could make me a barn box. I painted it will "crackle paint" to give it the rustic look, which is hard to see. and Paula let me use her Copic markers and airbrush system so airbrush the barn also. I think it turned out awesome. I had my bridesmaid Olivia paint our names and the doors on it.


I was very happy with the way everything turned out, and It was by far, the best day of my life, I married my bestfriend and had all my friends and family surrounding and supporting me. It was a beautiful day in Eleva, WI.
