Stencils!!

I finally received the stencils to being etching the favors/centerpieces. And with this I have come to the realization that THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER!!! They came too long so I had to cut them and then place each piece (3 for one side) on separately to etch. The end result is really nice though, just very time consuming. Does this mean I'm going to give up and not do the idea? Nope; it just means that you will have to appreciate them even more when they are at the wedding :) All in the name of love I suppose.

Centerpiece/Favors

So let me explain this a little bit. The centerpieces are made up of 9 square budvases. There will be 8 persons at each table. Each of the budvases will be etched with a poem written by Nick and I on one side, and a Monogram-thingy on another side. They are serving as both centerpieces and favors (because well, let's face it...people usually take the centerpieces too). So this way it kills two birds with one stone, looks good, and is functional. Now to explain the pictures...some of the centerpieces will be together some apart (as shown) [this is still debatable though], and some of the centerpieces will match the bridesmaid bouquets (example shown) and some will have three *WHITE* calla lillies (not like the pink shown).


I know it's stunning with the calendar backdrop! Be expecting that at the wedding too...Every table with their own HUGE calendar, because we never want you to forget what day it is :)
