Wedding papery doesn't have to be all butterflies & baroque! This fun take on reception papery for a wedding this weekend in Texas was all about Girly Gunslinging.

I recently started working with candy buffet maven The Sweetress based in the Lone Star State on candy tag, birthday and wedding papery ... {be on the lookout for a feature on her new logo coming soon - by you know who!} and I have to say it's been super-fun so far! We have some fun party projects coming up together ... can't wait to share!

Super-cute LolliSticks with the Bang! Bang! emblem will be featured on the candy buffet, as well as the Die-Cut Candy tags, menus for each of the place settings, escort cards, table cards {not pictured} and the Bang! Bang! Find Your Seat Die-Cut will be placed on a custom pin board Diana, owner of The Sweetress, will be creating for the reception.

Think out side of the traditional {unless that's your thing!} and truly make your wedding one to remember!!

This has got to be my favorite little project of the year!  One of my brides, Devon, is getting married this weekend at V.Sattui Winery in Napa and she wanted a unique way to display her escort cards.  

The wedding ... vintage inspired, merlot, plum, silvers, glamorous.  We tossed around handfuls of ideas and decided on a custom tufted pin board.  Oh, it is amazing.  The pics really do not do it justice.  At 4ft by 2ft - to hold the 125 mini square envelope escort cards - it is an impressive piece of decor as well. 

With swatches of Devon's linens (from La Tavola Linen - a fav linen company of mine) in hand, I headed off to the fabric store finding the perfect compliment to the table linens she had chosen.  The fabric I found was pin-tucked so there was no need to over complicate the design with a ribbon criss-cross pattern.  I ordered vintage inspired rosette rhinestone buttons to tuft the board.  Floral pins with a clear crystal on the end will be used to attach the little cards and ... voila the result simple elegant perfection.

Custom tufted boards can be made in just about any shape and fit any number of escort cards.  Devon's board was $275.
