MAKING IT YOUR OWN

Wedding cards hung up the banister
Never underestimate the power of making something yourself rather than purchasing it. It's not just about the cost although that doesn't hurt. Labor can be cheap but nothing beats investing yourself/ friends/family in your wedding projects. Just ask the newlyweds Lori and Evan. It can't get any more personal. You read the story of the chuppah.

LorEvan's dining room served as Wedding Central for most of the projects for quite a while. Assembly Projects included but not limited to assembling bridesmaid gifts, buddy frames, bedazzling flip flops, decoupaging flower girl jewelry boxes/ labelling ring bearer boxes & candy, rehearsal dinner centerpieces, stamping L+E on sacks for both candy/ hospitality bags, organizing RSVP's, hotglueing stickers for cake signs, printing the newlywed banner, filling the candy bar canisters, packing up and who remembers what else?

                             Overflow projects went to the breakfast table i.e.: Groomsmen's gifts, the wine bottle label removing endeavor and master coiling by the master coilers Jo(e) imported from Norway and Natureman from Wisconsin. These 2 dozen bottles held the wedding table street sign names. 


Into their coiling, the two also were assigned the wedding cake topper. They must have invested a couple hours creating the logo of L+E. And you have to admit it did make a statement atop the wedding cake. 
      
Off site endeavors included neighbors both old and new as new neighbors helping assembly hotel guests's hospitality bags and invitation addressing & signage by Lauren, one of Evan's old Kennesaw neighbors. 

Countless hours where so many helped the couple execute their visions for their Wedding weekend. What could be a better way to be part of those memories?
