I like labeling stuff with words that I make up, so this was no exception. I’ve decided to officially call our wedding/pro-pics posts Glamuptials.

definition: (noun, pl - the meshing of two words.
Glam which is the shortened form of glamour and nuptials - a wedding)

The first installment of glamuptials is about our guestbook. I was lucky enough to score me one of Zinke Designs‘ Wishing Wells. It’s a beautiful ivory floral magnetic box with 150 4×6 cards and a pen. Pretty for display and perfect for storage.

I was searching for a bowl or something where we could place the cards in. Then, Mommy Flamingo came to the rescue, and pulled out a vintage crystal dish. It was perfect (it belonged to my great-grandmother). Plus, don’t the cards look better in a pretty dish?

The guestbook table was really a family thing. Flamingo step-mother purchased candelabra shaped miniature trees. I’m not kidding you - the branches of the trees are shaped like a chandelier. I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was the first time I had seen anything like that.

A lady who works with Daddy Flamingo mentioned that she had a vintage typewriter which might look nice with our whole vintage theme. I was so excited about this, so I sort of pulled a Lovebug. (thanks for the inspiration! ) I spent hours cleaning the thing - it was filled with dirt and dust. But in the end something beautiful never loses its beauty.

I had a fun time reading what our guest left as words of wisdom. Unfortunately, not many people left us notes, so we should of made an announcement somehow, but it doesn’t really matter. My favorite message was from my cousin “Mr. Flamingo, my cousin is always right, remember that… or I’ll kill you!”

What was your favorite guestbook message?
