Mrs. Earrings's Picture
Mrs. Earrings, Fresno, CA/ Nelson, New Zealand Age and Occupation: 20, Student, Wannabe Writer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 19, Photography Student Engagement Date: February 14, 2010 Wedding Date: January 2011 Venue: Gardens of the World About Me: I'm a girl from down under who grew up in Indonesia and I'm marrying a California boy. I'm addicted to all things sweet, have never met a chocolate silk pie than can get the better of me, and have dreams of one day being a fulltime novelist. I go weak in the knees for lace, tea cups, and a beautifully crafted sentence. When I get excited about something (whether it is historical linguistics or the Beatles) I tend to go overboard in research, and planning this wedding is no different. Mr. Earrings is my high school sweetheart, my best friend, and somehow we combine all our quirks into one big happy mess.

Handmade: Our Signage

October 25th, 2010 @ 3:45 pm by Mrs. Earrings

It was a lovely spring day, and we were bored and avoiding studying for exams. We found some chalkboards. We doodled pretty patterns and words on them with chalk. Then we painted over the doodles with acrylic paint. We ended up with these:

Ceremony Sign

Menu (obviously)

Random sign for our lovey-dovey picnic shoot and also for the reception

Whatcha think? They aren’t perfect for sure…but I think I kinda like them a lot. :)

Have you incorporated the chalkboard trend into your wedding somehow?

Very cute! I need to stop seeing pictures of chalk boards because it makes me want to add another DIY project to the lsit.

I love these signs! I wish we had done chalkboard signs at our weds. Man, so many ideas. And I thought 2 years of planning was enough, I totally needed more time! lol.
