Wedding DIY and behind the scenes blooper!

July has been a busy month of Parties! Loving every minute of all the prep work, but what I love the most is the final picture. When all the details come together for a picture perfect party!

These were the boutineers for the Grooms men. Simple, modern and chic.

The Brides dress was so elegant I wanted her flowers to match, so I tied in a little bling to add that sparkle!




The setting was so beautiful there wasn't much I had to do to make it anymore beautiful. The ceremony took place facing the Lake. Set with a stage and an arch way. The arch was a DIY project made from PVC pipe and two buckets of concrete. Draped it with tuling, then added flower arrangements and ribbon. I LOVED the little lanterns that lined the isle. I dressed them up with flowers and ribbon, dropped some rose petals and operation ceremony decor was complete!

Another DIY project, were the table number holders. These can be used with dual purpose, add a wire or use as a chalk board. I started with a wood post, had Home Depot cut them into blocks. Then drilled a small hole at the top.
Painted them black...


Then glued an alligator clip to a stick of wire.
Whala~ table no. holders.
Because the brides maids dresses had a sliver shimmer to them, we wanted to tie in something "silver" so I decided to add some "bling" to the napkins that would be on the table. These were a month in the making! I think in the end I did over 300 of them... I'm not sure if it was the gluing and cutting that I like so much or just the fact that I loved all the glitter! The funniest part was I got the most compliments on these by teenage girls! They loved them... made me think this would be a fun detail for a sweet 16 party!! Again... super easy to make. I cut up paper towel holders spray painted them silver, then mod podged them, dipped them in glitter, then sealed them with acrylic gloss spray to keep the glitter from falling off.

Here is my blooper! It never fails! There is always something I miss until after the party is over. This one is still bugging me!! If you look closely at this lovely picture you'll see a typo on the date. Mind you this picture was on display all evening for 300 guest to look at! I printed this off serveral times took it to staples and had them alter it two times. I set it up at the wedding, took several pictures of it, had discussions over it and even gave it to the mother of the groom! I never once noticed the extra zero, till I posted the picture today! All I can do is laugh at it now... Reality is... there will always be a flaw somewhere cause I'm far from perfect!

All in all it was a beautiful wedding and I was thrilled to be apart of it.
