One of my childhood besties got married this September, and I was lucky to participate in the wedding and help with behind the scenes. I think she was grateful for the help though, as there was so much that needed to be done. I mean she had months to plan this anyway, although thank god they had time to plan for things. Like I didn’t realize, but most Wedding venues are booked an average of 11 months before the wedding date! So you really have to be on the ball for this sort of thing. But anyway, I was pretty excited to be first time bridesmaid. Never too late! The wedding became a little more personal to me when Lauren asked me to design and be in charge of all the printables–the wedding program, food labels, stickers, table toppers, fun questionnaires and thank you gifts. I kept with the design garden-theme of their invitations and incorporated their wedding colors of gray, white and yellow.
Here are some of the snapshots. My pictures don’t do justice with how beautiful everything turned out. I was snapping away between wedding party pictures and am wishing I got more of the details. We did table questionnaires to keep guest entertained, photo booth and dessert table–I didn’t take pictures of details. Oh well…hope the professional photographer got them. I’m planning to do another post on the wedding favors.
Darleen – I'm being totally serious when I say this… you need to start doing this on a professional level. Honestly. And perhaps you've already anticipated me on this suggestion, but if not… give it some thought. You'll make a killing (both financially and reputationa-ly) 🙂
Great job Darleen! It was beautiful and I was soooo happy to see you! xoxo
