Inspiration to Wedding! Part 3

A few Details
........

I love the idea of family photos pinned to a simple piece of twine in a reception area. At our wedding almost every guest walked along the row of photos during cocktail hour... ohh-ing and ahh-ing over childhood shots, making fun of our awkward years, and remembering good memories.

I was inspired by this..

and this..

And created this line of photos strung along one of our venue's old barns.


Isn't my grandmother sweet?!



Inspired by the idea of creating charming escort cards..

We purchased a giant piece of wood from Home Depot, painted it with chalkboard paint and created 8 sections. Since we had one long table instead of many smaller tables, this seemed to work well. 



Once they located their section, they found their name tied with twine to a printed menu & a packet of Wildflower seeds. The seeds were purchased from American Meadows



Hope your week is off to a great start!

Oh! These are such lovely ideas. I never would have thought of doing something like this. I've got to remember this for the future.

I love all these ideas and the photos are "just beautiful!"

Wishing you a happy week!

That looks so cool with them all spread out and hanging. :)

Also... The National Anthem went great. It felt nice to do this new thing as a volunteer. Kind of nervwracking, but overall a worthwhile experience. Thanks for asking!
