Better Late Than Never (Pictures)

[TheaterDiva1]

Okay... my wedding was over two years ago, and ever since, I've been promising to post pictures of stuff we made for the wedding. I finally got motivated, took the digital camera, took a bunch of pictures and had DH show me how to get them on the computer.

So... My DYI Pictures!!!!!

My Bouquet (I did the same for MOH and BM's. but their's were smaller, and had mostly white flowers with some color accent).


Centerpiece for our table (we took the sand and most of the shells straight off the beach)


Close-up of centerpiece


Favors (DH made these coasters out of resin, and I wrote our names and date on the sand dollar in the middle)


Card box


Pen & holder for guest book (DH made the holder the same way he made the coasters, and I added ribbon and shells to the pen itself)

Wow! That's pretty inventive! Very cool! I love the shell holding the bottom of your bouquet!

[Complicated Woman]

Those are so cool! Wonderful stuff!

[NovemberGal]

You did an awesome job!

Your bouquet is gorgeous, but I love the pen holder. It's so unique - he did a great job.

Thanks guys... I found the shells for the bouquets at a shop at South Street Seaport. I was so excited when I found them - I had wanted to do something unique, and until that point I couldn't figure out that. I went back there a couple of weeks ago and the guy there remembered me. I'd been meaning to e-mail him that picture.

And in case anyone's wondering - no, I did not use one for the toss bouquet - that would not have gone over well. It was a smaller version of mine, but after I glues the stems together (all silk flowers), I wrapped them in organza ribbon and glues a small shell to the outside.

There was one floating around at work for a while (my boss and two co-workers were at the wedding). We moved into a new office a year later and I haven't seen the coaster since.
