Back On Track

Hello again! I mentioned in an earlier post that I intended to purchase a paper flower punch. Well it finally arrived!...Along with my paper heart punch. :)

When I went shopping for the flower punch I came across a heart punch and had yet another wedding decor idea. I'm full of DIY travel themed wedding ideas lately! I stay awake all night thinking about it! Haha!

Anyways, Jimmy and I have decided to make paper heart map garland to string up at our reception and this is how I did it.

Along with the flower punch I picked up some self-laminating paper to make the hearts a little thicker. They are now also water proof (just in case it rains...I am crossing my fingers that it doesn't!). After laminating the map, I used the punch to make the hearts.

The hearts are two inches in diameter so I hope they are big enough. These pics will give you an idea of what it will look like.

After all of the hearts are punched out I will string them up with heavy hemp twine, which I haven't had a chance to purchase yet. I've also thought about adding burlap flowers to the garland. We'll see how it goes!

As always, I will post pics of the garland once it is finished! I believe we are well on our way to having a very travel themed wedding! So excited! :)

We'll See You There

Dear readers, We have been trying to come up with a way to incorporate all of our past and upcoming couples into our big day. After all, if it weren't for all of you we wouldn't have such great wedding ideas!

So, without further ado, here is our plan!

I saw this on Pinterest the other day (Yeah, even we Pinterest!) and asked Jimmy what he thought about this idea for our wedding. He said he liked it.

"Awesome! That's great!" I thought.

Then I went into the studio, I don't remember what for now, but I came across these....

I walked out of the studio, and said, "Jimmy, what if we used the seating cards from our couples weddings?"

I explained my idea of combining the seating cards we get from our couples along with the idea of pictures of us on the clothes lines. Then in the center I will put our names, Jimmy + Stephanie Wilderman (Ahhh! I can't wait to change my last name! :)), signifying our marriage.

He immediately loved it!

So, as a thank you to all of our wonderful couples, we will be using (literally!) a little part of your big day, as a little part of our own. We are so happy to have found a creative and unique way to include all of you!

Thank you, each and everyone of you, for being so amazing! And I promise I will post pictures when it is finished!

Much love,
