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!!

Remember that glam event I mentioned a week or so ago?? Pics are rolling in!!! First up ... the All You Need Is Love Vignette.
This space is inspired by the TV show Mad Men on AMC. The design for this room started with the daisy theme chandelier that was found at Ikea and really took over from there. Combining the fab era’s of the 50′s and 60′s and a twist of 2010 into one amazing retro chic vignette.
I had such a blast creating the invitation, menus, place cards, poster, dessert bar tags and hand-sewn fabric flower pom-poms for this spread!!!
The boxed invitation was hand-finished in a modern-yet-retro black and white fabric, inside was finished with a yellow and white polka-dot fabric with the paper part of the invitation in matte black and white. The front of the invitation was finished off with a thick black double-faced satin ribbon and a little yellow and white polka-dot fabric flower pom-pom.
The menu's were affixed to each one of the individual floral arrangements placed at each place setting. Fab idea from Katie with Ambience!
Place card - slash - snazzy soda-pop beverage! Oh, yeah. Super-cute floral fabric pom-poms were attached to each of the soda pop bottles in alternating black/white and yellow combinations. The actual little place card flag was attached to the vintage green and white paper straws. You know I am a huge fan of those little straws!!
Poster! What can I say? Measures 24x36 affixed to foamcore for stability on a matte bright white paper. I am such a fan of pop-art and this added just a little touch of whimsy to Rebecca's {with Sweet Cakes by Rebecca} aaaaamazing dessert bar. The dessert bar tags came out super cute too - I created those in alternating yellow/white and black/white to mix it all up a bit. Rebecca and I were emailing into the wee hours making sure no detail was overlooked - hello!! the couples monogram is even on the sugar cookies!!! Love.
My absolute favorite ... would have to be those little fabric flower pom-poms!! Soooo, much fun to make ... look for them soon in the SJD Shop!! We're planning on making 4 different sizes to choose from.
Below are the amazing vendors that made this vignette come together ...

Last night, I delivered these sweet table cards & menus for Christina & Troy's wedding today! My good friend and planner extraordinaire, Alison of
Alison Ulshoffer Events & Design, called me up for this fun project.
The table cards were oh, so cute with names like - Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch, Chapel of Love, It's in His Kiss, And then He Kissed Me - just to name a few. Are you humming along yet? I like the classic simplicity of numbered cards - but love the idea of naming the cards with either a theme or things that mean something to the couple. They can be a great conversation starter for guests. The menus just as cute, followed suit in the same design palette with a custom monogram heading up the panel. Each card, table & menu, I adorned with Swarovski Crystals for a little surprise and a touch of bling factor for Christina.
Happy Wedding Christina & Troy!!
