Chandelier LOVE

 

When we finally decided our wedding was going to have a vintage theme I envisioned a chandelier hanging above the alter. I got my wish :). We also bought a huge chandelier that was hung above our table. Aren't they beautiful?

 

 

 

I ordered the small chandelier off of Amazon for ($45)
I ordered the big one  from Wake Up Frankie for($145)


Love is sweet take a treat

 

 

It would have been perfect to give out golf balls and t's as our party favor since we got married at a golf course but that just wasn't our style. We both LOVE sweets so we decided to have a candy bar. It was a hit especially with the kiddos. 

I got all of the candy from Sweeties. I saved a few bucks going local as opposed to online. Sweeties actually had better deals and more of the color options I was looking for anyway. All of the candy  I chose was white, black, grey, and silver. I bought black shiny coffee bags online. I also bought cirular sticker labels (from Staples) and rectangular place card labels that had silver trim (from Joanns).  I printed the same saying it says in the frame below onto the circular labels and stuck them to the coffee bags.  Then I printed the name of each candy on the place card labels.

 

 I thought a candy bar would be a cheap party favor. HA! Boy was I wrong. After the wedding I added it all up and we spent around $550  on vases ($100 at Wal-Mart), candy ($350), candy scoops ($50), bags, and labels ($50). Well you only get married once, right. It was $$$ well spent.

A friend of mine bought me this hanger for my bridal shower. This has got to be one of most thoughfu gifts ever. I love it!

 

Damask Diva Designs

 

I ordered these from a gal named Monica and I just love how they turned out! Click here to see her etsy page although I think she's on leave.

 

 

 

 

The seating chart is kind of a DIY project. She sent me the pdf file and I had to have it printed at Kinko's. I bought a black poster board and used spray adhesive to adhere it. This custom seating chart cost me a total of $60.

 

She made these damask votive holders for my remembrance shrine too.

Birdcage Card Holder

 

Here is another one of my many DIY projects I did for my wedding. I bought this birdcage at Ross for $15 btw. I spray painted it silver and attached a piece of black ribbon to it with double sided tape (Elmer's is the best). I printed a label that said cards and placed it where the two ends of the ribbon met. And there she is. Easy peasy!

 

DIY Confetti Cones

 

I made  confetti cones to place on the arm of each chair during our ceremony. This is not a quick DIY project. I made 150 of these and it took me a few weeks to get them done. I ended up making 75 white confetti cones with sayings and 75 solid black confetti cones. Don't limit yourself to plain ol' white. Get crazy! Use colored paper or floral print would look awesome as well.

 

Things you'll need:

thick Paper (I used black and white paper I bought from Hobby Lobby)

double stick tape (I highly recommend Elmer's double sided tape)

good scissors or paper cutter

ink jet printer

ribbon

hole puncher

Instructions:

 Cut the paper down to 6″ squares.

Lay the square on a flat surface.

Take one edge and start to lightly fold up to the corner across from it. You're goal is to make them into the shape of a cone. It took me a couple tries to get the hang of it.

Run double stick tape along the inside of the edge you were folding.

Then create your labels with the saying of your choice. I printed them on plain white paper.  Mine said… After “I Do” Please shower the newlyweds as they walk down the aisle.

Cut them out.

Adhere the labels to the top  of the triangle part of the cone.

Hole punch above the saying.

Cut ribbon.

Put the ribbon through the hole and tie it in a bow.

Then fill them with confetti or rose petals.

 

 

 







 

Feathered brooch clip and matching shoes

 I didn't want my shoes to be the same as my MOH or BM's so I ripped the brooches off of my shoes and hot glued ones that matched my veil and earrings. I am so matchy matchy. It's rediculous!
