Wedding Crafts

There is something about the decor and crafty side of weddings that makes me wish I could get married everyday, just to use up all my ideas:-) My sister in law got married this past weekend, and I was lucky enough to get to help her with some things...first we did the wedding invitations, and they were perfectly lovely. 

I bought this Stampin' Up set, called Everything Eleanor. It's a set of 8, but I only needed it for 2 stamps specifically, the bird, and the large swirly thing

A classy and elegant program for the guests attending the ceremony

The program was Very Vanilla cardstock (8.5 x 11), cut exactly in half. It was three pages long. Tied with Not Quite Navy ribbon, and stamped ("stamping off" technique) with Not Quite Navy too.

I designed the programs in MS Word, and used the fonts, Helinda Rook and Adobe Garamond Pro

A nice, pretty touch!

The middle page. Pages 2 & 3 were not stamped.

Another thing we did was make these little tags. Every place setting at the reception had a tag like this (with twine tied to it), and they filled out a small nugget of advice for the Bride & Groom, and placed it on a tree. Sweet, and beautiful too.

I used a Creative Memories large tag punch, and Very Vanilla cardstock. Bird stamped in Not Quite Navy.

Advice, on the tree. So cute!

This is a small gift the Bride & Groom gave to people that helped them prepare for the wedding

I used the same fonts as with the invitations and programs.

I stamped with Versamark on the coffee bags, and used Versamark, silver embossing powder and heat tool for the bird on Not Quite Navy cardstock (paired with Whisper White)

I also helped to make birds that hung from the branches at each table. I don't seem to have any pictures of them, but they were very cute. We bought a die for the big shot, that was the perfect bird, from Michaels. They were cut out of SU's embossed designer paper, and other paper that was printed with music notes.
