Paper moons!

Im back! Sorry for the long hiatus. After returning from our honeymoon I just couldn't go near anything wedding for a while. Posting may be more sporadic than before, but there will be posting! First up:

How adorable is this Flickr collection of Paper Moon photos? I thought this would translate as an adorable idea for a wedding photo booth. Especially if the wedding is vintage themed. As props you could have vintage ladies and gentleman's hats or some of those popular mustaches on a stick!

Cupcake Flags

Here is a little DIY project I've been working on for our rehearsal dinner! Cupcake banners! The dinner is being held at a brewery, so the atmosphere will be very laid back. Still, I wanted to add some special details to dress up our dessert!



First, since E and I live here in NYC, I used an MTA map as paper! It comes in a very large fold out size, so I cut out four 8.5 x 11 sections and just fed them through the printer. Easy peasy. Then I designed some personalized banners on Illustrator. I chose colors to compliment the map, and also cute phrases to feature. For example: "E & M", "10-10-09", "Amore" and my personal favorite "Sweet Love." I cut them all out, hot glued a crystal bead on the top of the tooth pick, glued and folded! So easy, and since I already had all the supplies and MTA maps are free, this project cost me NADA!

I SPY

Isn't this "I SPY" game from Martha a great idea?



Here's what Martha Says:
"Place a card, a disposable camera, and a pencil at each child's setting, and see which kid can photograph all the items on the list first. You won't need an incentive to get the kids playing, but a small prize for the winner is a good idea."
The card is available to download here.

Its suggested to be for kids- but I think children of all ages would enjoy it! Of course, you could always make your own and add some different items to the list. Or, you could make a kids version and a grown- up version. So fun!

P.S. Only a few more hours left to vote for # 6, #7, or #8 over at My Island Wedding's Inspiration Board contest!

Well Wish Signs

I had a fabulous time at my friend Lindsay's Charlotte wedding. Check out their fabulous "Exit Shot" by photographer Kristin Vining!



The "well wish" signs were the brain child of her wedding planners from Weddings and the City. So beautiful!
