AW/Checks/inspiration board

So, last week when we met with our florist I also talked to her about some other ideas that I have.

My first inspriation picture was

Moss Letters- Cake or Gift table?

She thought it was cool, but she said she will take the initials and cover them in bird seed and paint them pink. The letters and appersand will be two different shades of pink.

We also decided to rent a really cool vintage bird cage as our "card box" and she will put grass in the bottom and decorate it with flowers. Here was my inspiration picture, but our birdcage will be much bigger and and has it's own stand.

Card Holder

My other inpiration picture was

Miss Mink Gathers Escort Card Inspiration :  wedding charlottesville placecards 21082480181 2108248018
 Thanks Miss Mink! My finace and I decided that it would probably be better if we had escort cards vs guest board. I secretly wanted escort cards, but somehow I was able to make fiance (all by himself) think that escort cards would be a better idea. SCORE! So, my florist and I came up with the idea to use beds of grass! Super excited about this!

My second peice of inspiration was:

Example of monogram painted and inside wreath.  Beautiful idea!

Originally I had wanted moss letters, but also wanted to incorporate a 3-letter monogram, so this is what we will be using on the doors of the golf club where we will have our reception. Of course, the greenery will be the light ivy we are using and the flowers will be changed to our wedding flowers. So excited!

I would love it if people would share some of their favorite inspiratations photos!

  • Yes, I am a Detroit bride. My florist is Cheryl from Flowers & More in West Bloomfield. She does't really do any advertising... everything is word of mouth. She's pretty awesome. She has done some wedding in our family and she does a great job!

    WR:
    Last night FI made our cardbox!  I still need to add some letters that spell out "Cards" on top, but here it is so far:



    I also made the pinwheels that our florist will incorporate into my BM bouquets:

    Here are also a few of our table numbers (I don't think I posted them before):

    And NWR, FI just began reupholstering our dining room chairs!  We bought the fabric yesterday and so far he's gotten 1chair (of 6) done.  The new fabric is on the left and the old is on the right.

    Today I'm going to begin working on the pinwheels for our escort cards.  Here is my inspiration photo:

    Julbgordo, those are all so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

    I love the pinwheel idea!

    We have a similar color palette. What are you doing for your linens?

    <div>I haven't completely decided yet.  I'm meeting with my WC in a few weeks to discuss this.  Right now I'm thinking of doing hot pink table clothes with criss-crossing green table runners - we're having round tables.  Or hot pink table clothes with green napkins (orange in the image) set-up like this:</div><div>

  • That will look great. My colors are light pink/rose/gray/sage
  • Congrats on the checks ladies!

    Today I did an invite mock up and finished one pomander... I'll try to take pics later and post them.
