Hanging Photos-Never happened

Picture
I dont know where I got this photo from, but I LOVED this idea! However, I just didnt fit it into my timeline of things to do.

My idea was to cover the clothes pins in damask fabric to dress them up.

The Photo Booth!

Picture
This was a GREAT idea! We had a really tiny glass room that was supposed to be for "displaying things"...instead we moved out all of their stuff, hung a huge fabric background and I collected props for MONTHS! I searched EVERYWHERE for a template to make mustaches and finally found one! (Those were, hands down, the best part!)
Everyone really seemed to enjoy it! I hired a photographer off of craigslist for $70 for the night to just stay in that room and take pictures! She took over 800 pictures and they would be a hit if I would ever post them somewhere lol

I have a template for the mustaches and lips if you want it! They were SUPER easy! Took me a few hours and they were done!

Water Bottle Labels -HAPPENED! :)

Picture
I found this blog about Damask Water Bottle Lables! I LOVED THEM! They were soooo easy! I just replaced the green with rotating aqua and orange colors and then I changed the info to ours. I also put a different font "B" on each one to make them different.
Here's the BLOG where you can download the template. I had mine printed in color at a print shop and cut for about $40. The idea was  to cover the labels in packaging tape to make them waterproof. -Doesnt work and looks like crap. 

I bought our water bottles in bulk from Sams Club and peeled the labels off. I think we got 300 bottles for $40.

I attached the labels with clear double sided tape! Worked perfectly!

Unity Candle

We got the Unity Candle set from Hobby Lobby and the stand from Garden Ridge. It cost about $100 for the whole thing. We tossed around the idea of doing the sand ceremony, but I just couldnt part with the tradition of a unity candle. :)
