Remember when I introduced you to my wedding crush sometime last week? Well, I’ll get you up to speed quickly. Friend Brooke got married and had one of the prettiest, hippest weddings of all time and I’m totally crushing over it.

Her wedding looked something like this:

Riggghhhhhttttt? Lovely! Although, there’s one thins I haven’t shown you from Brooke’s wedding (on purpose, of course). See, Brooke and Jim had amazing engagement pictures, and they found the best way to display them at their reception.

The bright colors, fun pictures, and pop and fresh frames? Don’t you just love it!? As soon as I saw these pictures, I mentally filed them away, making sure that I didn’t forget about them in the future. This was I project we had to do!

I actually printed on that first photo of the frames and brought it with me when I met with our reception coordinator. I got the okay that we had a space to do this, and then Mr. Giraffe and I got moving on it!

Tune in tomorrow to see the Giraffe’ take on Brooke & Jim’s project and how we’ll make it our own!

Anybody else get inspired by a friend’s project? What was it?

Looks great! I get most of my inspiration from the Bee…but there’s definitely a few ideas I’m borrowing from friends.

That’s beautiful! We also know a couple who’ll get married before us, I’m looking forward to seeing how they planned it all and if we can borrow/steal/personalize any of their ideas!

This makes we wish we had some friends’ weddings to use as inspiration for ours! There’s only been one recent wedding, which was a fall beach one. *sigh* The bright frames are a great idea. I may have to wriggle that project into our last minute DIYs.

@Miss Elephant: I would trade my first born child for a Mac and Cheese station ;-).
@Miss Carousel: Isn’t that why friends get married? Just kidding!
@Miss Pain au Chocolat: It’s easy and only takes a liiiittle bit of time. Do it!
@missdmac618: I’m not sure about all of them, but I think she had gerbea daisies and button mums.
