Wedding Blog

Following my resolution to make do with what I’ve got and not spend more money on wedding decor, I came up with these:

They’re a variation of Junk Camp’s stamp photo holders, found here.

I chose to use these cookie cutters because my mom and I both have a ton of them and I wouldn’t have to drill holes in them to accomodate the wire. After the wedding we can remove the wire (which is simple, thin gauge copper wire we had in the garage) and they can go back to being cookie cutters.

I used Ki’s method of wrapping the wire around something to make those perfect rounds — though I used a thick stick of sunblock instead of a sharpie to make bigger loops.

Appropriately, I’m thinking I’ll use these to hold signs with the names and descriptions of each type of cookie at our cookie bar.

I still don’t know how we’ll display the cookies, though.

In jars, like so?

Or simply stacked high on plates and trays?

Of course, if I chose jars, I’d have to borrow them from somewhere, since I’m not allowed to buy them.

Plates and trays it is! I’ll see what I can scrounge up from my mother’s kitchen cabinets.

If you had a cookie bar, how did you display the goods?
