A wedding planned around a scrapbook paper... Part II

so... Yesterday I showed you the scrapbook page Katelyn selected. We can finally show you all the wonderful things Katelyn was able to pull together using this theme.

The Invitations.... Gorgeous! Katleyn added some bling to the invites to match her personality.

The programs... It was so awesome sitting in the Church watching everyone enjoy Katleyn and Daniel's program. She had filled it with information about all of the wedding party. You felt like you knew each person after reading about them.

The gift from the bride and groom.... Katelyn and Daniel both attended and met at SPSU. (We use to call it Southern Tech, but the name has changed.) They came up with this wonderful poem telling everyone how they met. Attached to it was a hand calculator with their name on it. PERFECT!

The Wedding Cones.... We made a wedding cone for both the bride and groom's parents. They were placed at the row where they were sitting. See Katelyn's MOM and DAD's wedding picture on the cone.

Now this is a great idea for a guest book. As everyone arrived, they put their thumbprint on the tree and then signed their thumbprint. This was an awesome idea. I am pretty sure that Katelyn's sister drew the tree and the two lovebirds for them.

And saving the best for last.... THE CAKE!!! Oh my goodness, the was one of the prettiest cakes I have ever seen! It matched the paper perfect! Zadie (Katelyn's sister) designed and created the cake topper! This will be a precious memory keeper for Katleyn and Daniel.

Tomorrow I will put up a few more of my favorite pictures from the wedding!

A Charming Wedding .. Part I

My daughter's sweet and beautiful friend, Katelyn, was married this weekend to the love of her life, Daniel. From the time that Katelyn walked through the door, crying with tears of joy, as one being in attendance, you knew this wedding was going to be special. Katelyn and Daniel, together, took the time to fill their whole night with symbolism of what Christ expects from us as we take this journey.

The wedding planning started taking shape when Katelyn and her MOM came to me asking for suggestions. When I found out she wanted to use apple green, I was so excited. I went to Archivers, our scrapbooking/art store, and started looking for papers that we could use. I had one paper that really caught my eye and I knew that Katelyn would be the type of bride to hop on the train and use it. The flowers on the paper were charming! After visiting the florist that I highly recommended, The Garden Gate in Monroe, the color scheme was set.... Apple green and a wine red. I LOVED IT! This was going to be a fun wedding!

Shipping out the Flower Girl Baskets....

I have been given the wonderful honor of creating two flower girl baskets for a young couple in Florida! I was so excited and even more when she told me about her wedding. As in all of my projects, I try to tell a story. I hope by viewing the baskets, you can learn a little about this sweet couple!
