The final centerpieces, boutonnieres and brides bouquet
Here are the moss wrapped mason jars with paper roses hot glued on to sticks. We made river cane cross beams and hung wood burned numbers from each table. Each wood burned number is on a homemade cut out heart with hemp string and beads from old necklaces. :-)
The groomsmen and groom boutonnieres were made just out of paper, sticks, twine and moss! We dye cut out paper leaves for the back of the boutonniere, in between is filled with moss and the flower is a paper rose. We made these flowers just the how we made the flowers for the bridesmaid bouquets. Both the paper leave and paper flower are hot glued onto sticks and the sticks are wrapped with twine. Using cardstock for the paper flowers and leaves works best.
Here is my bouquet all finished! There are 26 iris flowers, lots of tissue paper flowers, paper roses from all the other bouquets, and a handful of yarn ball poofs. On a previous post I added a link as to how we made this whole bouquet. Iris flowers are my favorite blue flower, so we made origami ones in many hues of blue. The last touch we added was having a stick for the bouquet holder. :-) I fell in love with this bouquet.

The start of my bouquet...
a couple finished projects
My ring pillow ended up upside-down... but i added ribbon, grapes and grapevine leaves! The green ribbon that hangs down is for our rings to tie onto. I also added some extra green ribbon to my flower girls watering can.
Here are the polaroid cards for the photo booth. We will have a sign that says, Write or draw a message for Sean and Katie. Get excited for our polaroid photo booth!!! This is gonna be sooo much fun!
Here are some stamped thank you cards! There are actually 5 different stamps used on this card, and I used left over paper from the envelopes we made for the save the dates! All about using up these scraps now. :-)

A Royal Wedding
wedding websites
I started here-
My sister-in-law's page-
I just found this one! Wish I found it earlier.
Bamboo canopy
The bamboo canopy my fiance made! It only cost $35 bucks for everything, minus the ribbon. That is because the ribbon was sent to us from family and friends. My sister-in-law, Jenny came up with the idea. And seriously, I love all of the ribbon so much. Especially how some of it is from family and friends who can't make it to the wedding. It's so sentimental.
All of the ribbon from family and friends. Our aunt Leslie sewed loops on one end of the ribbon after we cut them all about 9.5 ft long, because I wanted them to puddle. All the widths and colors are pretty different that I got in the mail, but looking at them all on the bamboo, they look like they were all made to go together. :-)
Sean used cement to hold the bamboo in the pots because we may use this canopy inside or outside. Also, it's can break down a bit to be portable too.

The bamboo canopy was from here! We just changed the directions around a bit and made it our own. Love it. Her blog is a "must see." I check it daily, DIYbride.com
tree table assignments
I used fake Grapevine leaves from Michael's Craft Store. I punched holes in each leaf, tied some cute ribbon at the top to create the hanger, and then I wrote guests names and table numbers on them.
For the wedding party, I wrote their names on birds that will go in the trees as well.

Ring bearer and flower girl accessories
This is the flower girls hair crown I made. I actually found long and wired flowers, leaves and berries. Then I just wrapped it up and made the crown by overlapping the strand three times. I then tied some green ribbon to hang down the back of the flower girl.
I found this cute watering can for 2 bucks used. It was a forest green color, so I painted it white, and painted the tip blue. Just deciding if I should add any moss to the top or anything...

or maybe ask my mom to tool paint flowers on it. Or another idea I was thinking would be to tie ribbon inside the tip and have it hang down like water is coming out.
Wood burning decor
This project took me a few hours, but I love the results!!! I found a beautiful tree for inspiration, and went to town with a wood burner. The medium width, round tip was the best for me. After drawing my swirly tree, I went back and added shading and texture. This is my second wood burning project ever!
The tree quote I found online, and the song "I Wanna Grow Old With You" Sean sang to me when he proposed!
I wood burned hearts with our initials K + S on the front side, and 5-13-11 on the back. I was originally going to do these for favors, but after decided they would be cute as part of the table setting.
