Our Family Tree

September 8th, 2010 @ 4:57 pm by Mrs. Seashell

Family photos have been collected, oval shapes have been Cricut-ed, and another DIY is (almost) complete!

…and just in case our wedding guests wonder whom they’re looking at, we even labeled the backs of our photos!

So, what are these things? Remember waaaaaay back when I was on a search for creative ways to incorporate family wedding photos? Then Mama Seashell, our florist, and I came up with this “Family Tree” idea. Surely you haven’t forgotten my beautiful mock up…

You totally remember now. I can tell.

So, that’s the latest project update from the Seashell household. I can’t wait to see this in action. In fact, I can’t wait to see this whole wedding in action. It’s getting SO CLOSE! Tomorrow I depart for Providence for a long weekend crammed full of errands and final meetings with vendors. I’ll be documenting tons along the way. GET EXCITED!

Are your projects starting to come together?

Our guests LOVED the family wedding photos that we displayed at our wedding. I wish we had been as creative in displaying them! They are now hanging in a collage on a wall of our home, though, so going a more traditional “pictures in frames” route worked to our advantage there!

Oh! I remember the mock up! I love it! (we have similar ‘artistic’ abilities, I think. *grin*)

What a wonderful idea! I love this DIY! Kind of makes me want to do a display in my home, perhaps with framed paper. You’re a genius!

I think I can see what you’re going for from the mock-up and from what you’ve shown, it’s going to look great!

You sure are a Photoshop whiz with that mock-up. J/K. I love those gold backed ovals!! You can put them in an album when the wedding is over.
