| photo credit - jessicanadine.com Last summer I was asked if I would help design a friend/family members wedding and of course I said yes! The theme the bride had chosen was a vintage 1940's feel. Both the bride and groom love to read so they requested that their be some influences of old books or book pages. I created each table setting with a different vignette. I made table runners out of vintage book pages and then arranged lace on top. Then, I placed the different arrangements of flowers, their photos, silver teapots, vintage drawers, and milk glass vases on top of the lace. Their wedding theme and look was very similar to my own so it was so fun to get to decorate for this kind of wedding all over again! |

| I brought in my own chalk painted sofa table and baskets/flowers from my house. The bride's mother found a vintage typewriter where we placed a typed letter to guests from the bride and groom! I had used the chalkboard at my own wedding as a menu but this time we used it as a welcome sign. I used a chalk bistro marker from Hobby Lobby to write the quote. |

| photo credit - jessicanadine.com I printed vintage book pages and piano forte sheet music on packing paper that I cut to fit into my printer. Then I formed the papers into cones and stuffed them with white tissue for the popcorn buffet. Two vintage wooden coke bottle crates held the cones. I love those crates! I found them at a junk store a few years ago... |
