Hand Made Place Cards

LOVE these!!!!

The Mother of the Bride has been working on these for a while.  She contacted be several months ago, sent me a sample place card, along with a knob so we could make sure that my ink wouldn't bleed and I would have enough room to write with the knobs in place.

I love it when people are willing to think outside the "norm."  She cut each of these place cards - including the pattern in the top and then soaked them in both coffee and tea.  It created an awesome antique look - not to mention, it made the best smelling paper I have ever worked with!  Each place card is held up with a classic looking drawer pull or knob.

It's been so much fun working on this wedding.  She quickly became known as my "Knob lady."  

Congratulations Taylor & Nick!  I hope your day is awesome!!!!

More Variety in My Week

I've continued to have a variety of projects this week apart from the normal wedding envelopes.  These are the last minute projects from brides whose envelopes I've already addressed and their weddings are just around the corner.

11 x 14 seating chart to be framed and posted in the reception hall.

Natural parchment with black italic

Table Cards to match.  These are a natural color as well.

This is for a beach wedding.  Instead of doing individual programs that might blow away, the couple decided on a 20 x 30 Program Board.  The bride will add sea shells, sand, etc to give it the final touch.  Hoping to have a photo when it's complete.

Also for the Beach wedding.  This will be attached to a basket full of brushes so they can clean their feet before entering the reception.

LOVE these!  Great place cards.  The bride added the flower and rhinestones herself.  I mixed the ink to match.

Fun With Table Names

Don't be afraid to have fun and be creative with your table names. This bride had a fun idea and I thought I would share it.  She and her fiance met at UF so she decided to name her tables at the reception instead of numbering them.  She named each table after something from UF, whether a building or a person.  I wrote them on papers she designed to go into these frames.  Each frame is different and will be given away at the end of the night as a favor.  How fun is that?
