While on an envelope run to PaperSource over the weekend, I impulsively picked up these two bad boys:
I’m just going to give them to our DOC and let him figure out where to place them for the wedding. All I have to do is figure out how to decorate them. I think they’d look great with twine or yarn wrapped all around them, but I may just go down easy street and paint them a solid color.
Here are some letters at work at weddings:
Maybe I should have also bought the ampersand…
How perfect is this for a beach wedding!
Anther great idea for a beach wedding!
Hmm, maybe I don’t need to decorate the letters at all…
Do you have any suggestions on how I should decorate my new craft letters?
I went the topiary route and glued moss to ginormous letters from Joann’s. They I hung them off the arch as it’s only decoration. People raved about them though they looked pretty crummy up close. From far, they were excellent.
Ha ha ha! I Picked up the exact same letters while on an envelope run!!! Well actually I have the “S” and the “D”. I have been trying to figure out what to do with them as well, so I will be stalking the comments! I love sparkle so I was thinking glitter! I have been searching for the ampersand!! I have no idea where to find it.
Cheetah, I’m flat out no help. I love all of those ideas!
I have been looking for ampersand for some time now. And, have not been able to find it 
I was thinking of just keeping the “&” sign by itself on the head table positioning it somewhere b/w our chairs.
Any idea where can the “&” sign be found?
I love painting them a bright color or covering them with moss or flowers!
I purchased some letters and painted them in our colors. No clue where they will go, I’ll leave that up to our planner 
the ampersand is completely sold out - both at the B&M and online! the sales people told me they don’t know when it’ll come back in stock
I love this idea– if anyone knows where to get an ampersand, please PM me!
they’d be amazing if they were covered in your favorite flower, Miss C. i’m going to attempt a version for our beach wedding, too!
You can decoupage them with paper from Paper Source, its really easy and someone at the store can show you. I didnt know how to decoupage before someone at the store showed me. If you used them for your invites you should be able to get paper that matches
@eastcoast midwesterner: Oh, I love that word. Decoupage! Imma look that up
@FutureMrsRacecar: Glitter would look great! I love sparkle too
@Srishti: @Miss French Toast: @AEMalmostK: It’s not the same at all, but I think Restoration Hardware sells metal &s.
@Miss Elephant: We think alike!
@Miss Ostrich: There are so many great beach options! Can’t wait to see what you do!
@eastcoast midwesterner: Great idea!
Just found this moss covered ampersand on etsy. It would be perfect if you went the flower route with your letters. I might just do this too now!

I think I would paint them black/white stripes (not *just because of my moniker)…
I think that would look pretty awesome with your venue’s decor!
Or a bright solid color. Or even leave ‘em as they are for some contrast.
I like the idea of giving the letters a Palm Springs flair. Some combination of lemon yellow and white and grey in either stripes or a diamond block print?
@Mrs. Stripes: @Miss Pain au Chocolat: You two are geniuses! I love the stripes idea!
I have larger letters I got from Joann Fabrics and I’ve covered with with flowers. LOTS of work. Granted I did hydrangea petals so it would depend on what kind of flower you used. I have to say thought, I love them. They look great!
Personally, I would paint them in my wedding colors…that would give your coordinator more options of where to place them.
I got those same letters from Paper Source and got some of the pretty paper that they sell and glued it on with modge podge glue. For the “&” I just printed one onto cardstock and glued it to an escort card. PM me if you want to see a photo of the finished project at my wedding!

Ms. Cheetah, Los Angeles/Palm Springs Age and Occupation: 31, Artist, Educator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, TV Finance Engagement Date: April 2010 Wedding Date: March 2011 Venue: The Viceroy About Me: I’m a silly, sassy lady with a compulsion to create. I love to sing and dance, despite the fact that I lack any talent doing either. I somehow manage to be messy and organized at the same time. I like to spend my days road tripping, watching '80s movies, reading true crime books, buying things on sale, sending postcards, playing board games, dining at food trucks, snuggling, and drinking ginger ale. I have a weak spot for all things sweet, especially Mr. Cheetah! I’m a Chicago girl and he’s a Nor Cal boy but we love living in the City of Angels. After 10 years as a couple we are planning a fun-filled semi-destination wedding in Palm Springs. Hope you enjoy the ride!
