Wooden Wedding Signs

Picture
I bought a bunch of old barn wood and hand painted it, then decorated with the hydrangea, berries & ribbon. I have the makings for two more - will probably do a few more wedding signs since it's a decent walk from the parking lot to the actual site.

Guest Book

I wanted something that won't just sit on a shelf for years - something I'll actually want to look at. I am making a scrapbook/photo album. I pre-made the pages by attaching photo corners for a 4x6 photo. When guests arrive at the wedding, a friend will take their photo with a digital camera, and then they will sign a page (they will be loose in a basket). Afterwards, I will print out the pictures and insert them into the corresponding page.

Ring Bearer Pillow

Picture
My aunt gave me a generic white satin pillow she had picked up. I tea-dyed it for more of an ivory shade (though now I think it looks kind of dingy...) then added cinnamon & chocolate ribbons.

Reserved Signs

Picture
These were tied onto the pews in the chapel to reserve seats for parents, grandparents, etc.
