The pics for the final table I worked on at Lavish and Fabulous are up on the website! I can't grab pics to post here on my blog for some reason ... sooooo you'll have to hop on over here to view.
Items created by SJD included an invitation, banner and place cards.
The front of the boxed invitation was designed with a feathered boa, taffeta ribbon bow and gold filagree heart pendant with a Swarovski Rivioli crystal. Inside, the invitation was mounted on a layer of black and antiqued ivory paper. The interior top and bottom of the box was tailored with a luxurious pin-tucked taffeta fabric.
The little banner shouted, "CAN! CAN! CAN!" with feather boas and ribbon tying the individual panels together. Came out super-cute!
Place cards were set beneath an acrylic table top and set down into the floral table ... really an awesome effect! Each place card had a giant golden shadow Swarovski Rivioli crystal set atop a ribbon sash.
Below are the amazing vendors that made this vignette come together ...

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.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an animal fanatic. Most creatures large and small (no spiders or bugs, thank you) and that hummingbirds hold a very special place in my heart. My grandparents always fed hummingbirds with little red feeders when I was growing up. My lazy summer daze were spent by their pool, sunning, snacking and watching those little birds. I have always associated hummingbirds with with memories of my grandparents.
So now, I continue the family tradition of feeding hummingbirds myself. I love watching them buzz in for a quick treat - buzz around - and buzz off. So adorable. I swear I could watch them all day.
Ahh, ha and then along came my creative Jersey bride and her talented planner sister with the perfect hummingbird project. 600 of these little birdies flew off for NJ this morning. The arrangement planned for these hummingbird place cards is going to be magnificent to say the least. (Stay tuned!) I just couldn't resist posting a little peak at a blank birdie.
Birds are roughly 3x5 and tented so that they can stand on their own (or with a little mossy support) - the guest names will be written in calligraphy on the front of the bird and the guest's table location written on the inside. Oh, so tweet!
Die cuts are an amazing way to create a little unique twist to the same ol' boring rectangle place cards. What shapes? Only limit is your imagination.

I love the idea of combining papery & favors. These mini champagne bottles are from one of my real weddings August 22nd - the newly married Vanessa and John Wesseling. (soooo, much more to come from this wedding - tons of personalized details - I am dying to get my hands on pics!) These mini champagne bottles were set at each place setting as the guest's favor and served double-duty as their place card.
The mini champagne bottles were tied off with a soft ivory satin ribbon, a mini folded card with the guest's name on the front, coordinating (yet, altering) artwork to signify the guest's entree choice and a little thank you from the bride and groom tucked inside.
So cute!
