some handmade details from our wedding, almost one year ago!
guinness cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (i made 150 of these the day before our wedding)
to make the cupcake stands i covered cake boards with fabric and attached them to mason jars filled with vintage spools of thread and sewing notions.
hand stamped cocktail napkins added a little extra flair.
i used the same vintage looking template that i created for all menus and signage to keep with the theme, printed on craft card stock.
my husband cut slots in 150 hockey pucks to use as stands for our menus and escort cards. (he is a HUGE hockey fan) we intended for the guests to take the pucks with them but as you can see in this picture, they left them and we had to lug home over 100 unusable hockey pucks.
there was a photo booth at the restaurant so we gave everyone the $3 it cost to take their photo and paste it in our guestbook or keep for themselves. the envelopes are tea stained and hand stamped. (my husband actually did these and they came out great!)
the table runners were made from brown craft paper that i machine stitched together.
the table #s were made using tea stained fabric stretched through vintage embroidery hoops, the #s were machine stitched on.
our favors were sweet and cheap! mason jars filled with salt water taffy from my favorite - berkley sweet shop on the seaside boardwalk.
in trying to keep with the vintage theme, i made our programs to look like an old newspaper. since half of our guests were from new jersey and the other half long island, i included facts about both places for guests to read and learn while they were waiting for us to arrive.
simple handemade ring pillow that our nephew the ring bearer spent most of the ceremony chewing on.
