Looks Like Weddings are in the Air

My girl friends daughter was getting married!!!  So, since I have no daughters & may never get the chance to help with a wedding-I asked if she could use any help?  She said she would love it!  So, we started on a journey together & have now become great friends!!!
I knew it was a lot of work doing a wedding....I was right, we even did all the custom design work for all the elements of the wedding too. 
We pulled out my trusty silhouette & we began designing...We had an absolute blast!
The first thing that she said her daughter wanted was a fan program....being that it was going to be outside in Texas in the month of June....it was going to be H.O.T. 
So, this was the front of the fan & the custom design that we made!  Actually the picture isn't even as nice as it was in real life.

 

 
The front & back sides where glued together!  We could never leave anything with out a little bling...see the pretty diamond rhinestone for the dot after the B?  They turned out beautiful!
 

Here is the pretty basket all decorated-simple but elegant! 
I love it!

Then we had this brilliant idea to make a cute design of the wedding cake & describe what the layers were going to be!


Of course we had to add a mat to spiff it up!  I had to pull out my mat cutter & relearn how to cut mats!
 


Then my gf wanted to make a pretty mail box for the gift cards that guests would be bringing to the wedding!  She spray painted it a beautiful gold & bought the cute ornament birds!  I couldn't wait to get my hands on this project!  We removed the ornament holder portion & decorated the birds then the mailbox!!!  I absolutely think this is my favorite thing!  
















Just before the wedding!
