| From Kelly…..’We had a lot of fun with the DIY details of our wedding. Instead of a guest book, we did a wish tree and I designed all the wish cards. I created all the programs and escort cards using matchbooks. We also made the table numbers using wine bottles spray painted black with tuxedo cuff wraps. We customized the wedding playlist and Brian [the groom] designed and built a beautiful art deco backdrop for our wedding ceremony. We wanted a vintage/Old Hollywood feel but we still wanted a fun, lively party and I think we achieved that!’ |
