It's important to us to do as much as possible ourselves, which essentially translates to the wedding decor since we don't have a big enough backyard, the skills to sew a gown, or enough baking experience to create a delicious wedding cake on our own. With a little help from friends and family we have taken on several craft projects, have sought out the perfect antiques and vintage goodies, and have jumped into the world of design.
As an avid crafter, it was only natural that I'd want to make something for our guests. Each guest's table card will include a flower pin sewn by me. We thought these would be a fun touch for the reception.
It was important to us to include things made by our friends and family. Our friend Adi, a talented musician as well as artist, designed our invitations, rsvp cards, and schedules. Tracks from her EP will also be played during the reception.
My mom and I decided to take on the task of floral arrangements together. Over several months we have searched thrift shops, antique malls, and garage sales to find a mix of antique mason jars, bottles, and milk glass vases. We plan to fill them mostly with flowers from our garden. This is a tribute to both of my grandmothers who kept beautiful gardens. The flowers we will be using were mostly transplanted from those gardens. We also planted some extra flowers to fill things out.
I'll continue to update this page as we finish more projects.
