I don’t know about you guys, but one of my favorite things about Weddingbee is following a bride from planning to execution. The little details were always so fun to see being created, and seeing them in effect on the big day always further inspired me and gave me a sense of closure.
I had a ton of fun working on our wedding details, which is why a lot of them got done—being crafty makes me happy! I honestly did not expect our guests to really notice all my little touches, but to my surprise, a lot of them did.
Here they are for you to see!
Our gorgeous invitations, complete with our unofficial wedding quote.
Our Out of Town Boxes, which I think I wrote about more than any other project! Sorry!
Our basket of vintage hankies available to guests at the church – all of these went!
Our programs, a project that was extremely involved, and perhaps only questionably worth the incredible amount of work! 
Our kiddo bags! These were well-received by our 8 little ones.
My gorgeous flowers. I can’t take credit for the execution, only the inspiration.
Our rings, including my wedding gift from Burger. Such a unique shot in the library!
Our Memory Table, which was set up outside the ballroom, was a true hit. It included family wedding photos, memory candles for our deceased loved ones, and our engagement album.
It also held our Love Story book, which people absolutely died over. They couldn’t believe that I had made it and that it was easier than scrapbooking! I still recommend this to anyone who is a pack rat, but who hates scrapbooking.
Our Photo Mobiles were hung from the gazebo surrounding the table – here is a close-up, but you can also see them behind the table in the picture above. Also a huge hit!
Our Quaker Marriage Certificate served as our guest book. You can see that at first people were only signing on the left, but our amazing coordinator reminded them to sign across. This worked out perfectly because we only have a few empty lines at the bottom, which I plan to cut off so that it looks complete!
Instead of individual favors, we made a donation to our favorite charity.
Our personalized drink stirrers were spotted in glasses throughout the evening.
And these personalized golf tees were tucked into the pockets of all the guys—we have none left of the 250 we started with! I guess our guests like to golf.
The guitar picks sporting our monogram are also completely gone! I love that this picture actually shows off the picks and the custom napkins which are also pictured below.
Our Cork Placecard Holders, a true labor of love, turned out wonderfully.
Because this project could not be finished until the seating chart was complete, I typed up everyone’s names and added the jewels to notate their food choice (purple for beef, green for chicken). Once the seating chart was complete, I hand-wrote their reception table name.
Our Gift Table, complete with birdcage for cards and our Merci sign.
A little detail that I completed early in planning, our super-easy napkin rings!
Our Table Name Signs – named for events and places around Penn State’s campus!
Our adorable cake topper.
Our two flip-flop baskets! A huge hit among both the ladies and the men. All 60 pairs were gone, and every now and then this summer friends let me know when they were wearing them!
And Our Wedding Tree, which was filled in by our bridal party and family members who attended our Rehearsal Dinner.
How did your details turn out?
Would you all be interested in seeing which details didn’t work out as well?!
Catch up!
all photographs except those of the Wedding Tree by the lovely and talented Jessica Ames
Such lovely details!
(Also, yes on seeing the ones that went bust. I ended up scrapping so much stuff close to the wedding!)
Nice details and so nice that you got good photos of your details. I’d be interested in hearing hat didn’t work out, I know I scraped a lot of projects.
I love all your details, especially those vintage hankies!
gorgeous! I had a “cards, merci” sign too. short sweet and to the point. And I bet it was in my subconscious from reading your post 
You had so many details, it really was a fully designed event. I’m glad people noticed and appreciated all your hard work.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing the details! I agree the best part is seeing how all of the DIY projects turned out.
I LOVE seeing your details in action! It’s so interesting to hear how items that you thought might be left over were all gone by the end of the night.
Such lovely details 
My fav is the love story book….Im dying to do something like that for Mr E on our first anniversary 
I love the details! Did you give your photographers special instructions about getting all those? I think mine are going to think I’m crazy, with everything I’m going to ask for!
And please, show us the not-so-great details too. I think too many wedding blogs are guilty of only showing the perfect things, not the 43 tries to took to get there.
I love that you showed us these. And I would also love to see the ones that didn’t pan out. Both are useful to those of us still planning!
im in love with all the little details !! congrats on the wedding and kudos for being so creative =)
Such pretty details! I am excited about your hankies, I ordered the same ones and I can’t wait to display them.
I would also love to see what was a bust!
This post is perfection! I loved seeing all the pro pics of every one of your projects that I read about over the last year!
beautiful!! The details are seriously always my favorite part!
Those are some amazing details. I gotta check out your past blogs to see where you got those personalized guitar picks. My sweetheart would love to see something that cool.
Cheeseburger-these are all so awesome!! I’m glad you posted about them all, because I think I missed some the first time around. You obviously kept yourself busy during your engagement!
looove seeing all the details. the wedding tree turned out so well!
Oh jealousy!! JK I love all of your details so much that they make me wish I had finished all of mine in time. There is so much that I had to scrap in the end, but I like the ones I stuck with. Kudos to you for getting them all finished.
