Party time!

In my toast, I had to help ‘our side’ understand how to say her new last name…

Ensure they knew how to properly spell it…

And if all else fails, call them the Kle-Somethings.

One of my favorite things to do:  make my sister laugh so hard she’s crying and gasping between giggles.

We happened to pass the Winter Carnival royalty and they knighted the bride and groom!

Those red shoes are ready for party time.  Check back for the final post soon!

sweet maid of honor/wedding planner gift, right?!  my first (and maybe only) Tiffany’s necklace

This guy is next in line for family wedding fun!

On occasion, I’ll dabble in creating custom stationery.

A big hug for Jen and her husband, who made it home just in time – literally by a day or so – (both) from serving our country in the Middle East

Off to get her man…

Part II coming soon!

Rachel and Eduardo had a custom tree created by Kelly of  Ekcetera that was inspired from a friend’s illustration and an art piece they found.  We used that tree as a symbol of family and growth on the crazy cool booklet invitations as well as this wall piece for their guestbook.  Guests got to sign inside the leaves and they had the guestbook framed and it is hanging in their home.

We created “escort cards” out of black river rock.

No, literally.  The BEST cupcakes I’ve ever had.

Jennifer, from Luna Vinca, wired orchids to curly willow to create this great display for the head table.

The couple invited some salsa dancers to help liven up the dance floor, but clearly the dancers weren’t needed!  We had to move 4 extra tables out of the way!
