A Few MORE Details

A Few MORE Details

Last week I shared with you a few of our wedding details. Perhaps you thought that was the extent of our wedding projects. If so, I have three words for you: OH HECK NO.

It’s been a wedding factory ’round here. I’m embarrassed to show you photos of our condo. This shot of our table will have to suffice as a snippet of what things look like.

So what else have the Seashells been up to?

Additional Leaves

At the end of the reception all of the Aunties who have worked so hard will receive one of our centerpieces. We’re attaching an additional leaf to their favor to let them know to take one.

Candy Bar and Hors d’oeuvres Signage

Not entirely complete. Almost, though!

Other Miscellaneous Signage

Signature Drink Signs

Giving up on privacy here. My signature drink gives a nod to Papa Seashell’s family history on St. Thomas. Mr. Seashel’ls hints at his family’s musical talents and love of Manhattans.

Jordan Almond Sign

I don’t even like the darn things, but for the sake of tradition we’re including them. Mama Seashell found the poem, so I figured, “Why not?”

Welcome Note

This will be included in our Out Of Town boxes.

Dinner Menu

My pride and joy. After dropping off a bunch of our wedding “stuff” at the caterer last weekend, Mama Seashell and I spied piles of menus that other brides had completed. It was a project I was definitely going to forgo, but then I was oh-so-tempted to have some of our own. For two people with no graphic design background, I’m SO proud Mr. Seashell and I knocked these out in an afternoon.

Man, we’ve been busy! Next up? Our programs!

I love that shape too. I really want to use it for my invites. I found out that my mom has access to a cricut. Did you have to buy a special cartridge for that {} shape?

Everything looks so beautiful! Well done!! How do you get that {} shape. I just LOVE it!! I also think it’s great how you are giving your aunts the centerpieces. It definitely looks like they have worked hard!

I know you don’t want to hear this, but the flower centerpiece would really be a “thankyou.” “Thank you” is used as a verb and “thankyou” is a noun.

Could you share the names of the fonts you used and programs used to create? Many thanks!

@asdf: @vtbride2011: The shape you’re talking about is on the original cricut cartridges. It’s one of the “Accent Essentials” - third from the bottom right.
@spitfire229: Our fonts are Chopin Script, Abermarle Swash, and Andalus. Everything was designed in Microsoft Word (lame, I know!)

They all turned out so great. These seriously make me want to buy a cricut AND get alll those fonts! Great work! I also love that you’re gifting your centerpieces to your hard workers. They’re going to feel so special.

So gorgeous. For those of us without a cricut but really want that {} shape, what to do?

@bRooklynRocks: The shape is called a “quatrefoil” or “bookplate”. Here’s an istock search: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-4617020-book-plates.php

@bRooklynRocks: @bRooklynRocks:

There’s a seller on Etsy that does the top cards in that shape…maybe not as big as you’d like but they may be able to make them larger, and in different colors:
