Decorating Details

The finishing touches are coming together and with only 67 days left until the wedding it's a great feeling to have some important things all done.

Thanks to Mandy and her super crafty skills, dedicated sister devotion, maid-of-honor power house-ness, resident of the wedding location, and all other things Mandy...behold:

The Decorations!

The poms were handmade by Mandy using felt, hot glue, and a styrofoam ball.  It took two hours to make one from start to finish and she made a total of 16.  These will hang from black ribbon by the sides of the church pews lining the aisle.  We will then use them at the reception as added decorations on the buffet, entry, and head tables.  We can also use them at the Kansas reception if necessary.  Multipurpose!

I gave a sneak peak of the table candle holders back here, but now the final touches have been added and they are ready to light up the tables at the reception. 

These signs will be used at the reception to let guest know where to go and where to sit.  Doesn't Mandy have such cute handwriting?  She tells me all the time how ugly my handwriting is, and it's true, compared to hers.  

Each table at the reception will have a cake stand centerpiece.  Initially, Mandy was going to make a small cake for each table but my friend Amber suggested we do cupcakes.  Why didn't we think of that?!? So much easier.  Anyways,  we got these adorable white cake stands with scalloped edges at H&M and Mandy took thin satin ribbon and wove it around the edges.  Then she found small chalkboard picks to use like cake toppers and added our initials. 

I am so grateful for all of Mandy's help and her ability to pull ideas into doable options.  It's also great that all of these things we get to keep!  Everything is unique to our wedding and super special because they were made by Mandy.  Thanks Bunny!
