Wow!

I have been Biz-Ay!  My sister-in-law got married on July 7th.  I didn't know there was so much left to plan and do a month before the wedding, so I jumped on board and got it all done before the wedding weekend! The wedding was hot pink and black, and we added flourishes as design elements.

I'd love to post pictures of the program I designed, but there's too much personal information on it.  Sorry, loves.

Check out the garter I sewed from scratch.

I'm so dang proud of this. 



She had a cookie buffet for favors, too.  This was the most fun to set up and decorate. The cookies were gone before the cake was even cut.



The bride and groom had their own 6" top cake to cut and had 200 cupcakes made (By the lovely 
Kristina Tavares). That meant we needed 200 cupcake wrappers. That's 400 layers of paper.  My poor Cricut was tired. We went through 6 cricut mats since nothing was working to restick the mats. Of course, after the wedding was over my father-in-law worked magic on them so they're almost like new.

There were 18 big versions of these table centerpieces already constructed from a previous wedding but we still needed 4 more smaller ones.  The books are just 3x5 notecards with Mod Podged covers.



My hair! Thanks so much, Em!



This is getting to be a picture-ific post, isn't it? There's more!


Can you believe I beaded a veil? Who needs to spend $100 on a veil when you can get crafty with a $15 veil from Michael's? Even better, I used a coupon and got it for $7.50.


Onto the jewelry.  There were 2 maid of honors and 5 bridesmaids. The black necklaces were worn by the MOHs. The pink was made for the BMs.




And, finally, the wedding gift (better late than never!):
Glass frame with the back removed, and vinyl letters cut using the Cricut Expression machine and Cricut Cuttables vinyl in pink and black.


I hope you guys enjoy my little mini-gallery.  We had a month and almost nothing prepared and busted out an entire wedding!  If you're in the Stockton/Lodi area and need a wedding planner... ;)
