A Friends Reception

I am posting this post for my good friend Jordan, who is having her reception in May. Her colors are all vibrant and bright! I love these ideas.

Will post more Jordan

Card Box/Wishing Well

Ok I saw this on a wedding blog once upon a time and decided that it was a MUST HAVE!

I grabbed up some of the 8x11 picture frames at Walmart for 3 dollars each

a package of brackets

and posterboard.

add a little bit of fab. and hot glue and your set!

the inside doesnt need to be pretty-so take the hot glue gun and glue the brackets into each cornerLike i said-it isnt pretty inside!

I took the glass out of it so it'd be easier to hold onto when glueing together!

I Used the thick posterboard and cut out a square for both the top or bottom

make sure you cut a whole in the middle of the top one for the cards to go thru

Glue a piece of material around the top piece-this is mine before i straitend it!

dont glue this one in completely-or at all if you havent put pics in yet.

I am only going to glue 2 sides of it down before the wedding so its easier to take apart!

And there ya have it!

(except i think i am going to paint the frames a darker brown to match the top!)


oh and i need to find a lazy suzan to put it on so it will spin in circles-anyone know where to find one? i looked all over walmart for one with no luck!

--total cost for this project?
3$ for each frame
1.97 for the brackets
2$ for the posterboard
which comes to a WHOPPING
15.97
and I can keep it for either a box to keep wedding keepsakes in or take it apart and put wedding photos in. Its a win-win deal!

HAIR BOW

Im Diggin the Camo hair Bow! Thanks Nicole for the IDEA!

I am attempting to make one in a few minutes!

My Baby girl-flower girl

will look so cute with something like this to tie in to the theme!

Not To Redneck!

I want to add a bit of "camo" to the decor!

Not ALOT!

I dont want it to look overly "redneck" but i do want it to be fun!

I am thinking i wanna have tropical flowers (orchids maybe?) with a camo ribbon around it for my bouquet.

Making a "pocket" on the ring bear pillow for the rings with a part of jords old ACU uniforms?(not entirely sure on this one yet, it was an idea tho-maybe i will create something else?)

Pew Bows-Make a bow out of camo (ACU) material -which i have a BUNCH of!- and put a single tropical flower inside it

Have a "dollar dance" and make a cute little pocket/purse for the money out of an old uniform?

Whatdaya Think? Any more ideas would be amazingly appreciated!
