I'm a wedding planner!!!

Some of you may know that I got asked to put on a wedding last Wed. evening by my inlaws who serve as mission leaders in a Spanish branch in our church. I was told to decorate a room in the church for a wedding ceremony and to keep it simple. I had until Friday. That's right! Only 2 days to pull it together, and I had never really done this before, so I went to work. I hit Martha Stewart Weddings online and started looking for things I could make myself, to dress up the room. I immediately fell in love with these paper ornaments that hang from the ceiling and the everything else was designed around that. I chose teal based off what my mother in law told me the lady would be wearing. I made the bouquets and boutineers and thought the orange was the perfect accent color. All in all it turned out beautifully and I was really proud of myself. I was also blessed with an amazing woman who had a ton of stuff I could borrow and helped me along the way.

Here is the bride's bouquet.

 

These are the paper ornaments I made.

 

I also made these to go on top of the refreshment table. Love, love, love, them!

 

 

Everything came together perfectly and I was glad I had the opportunity to serve and help make someone else's special day memorable and nice. I enjoyed the process and who knows, maybe I could have a future in this. I did have several single girls there ask me to do their weddings someday and a couple of people told me I should go into business. That felt good and made all the stress worth it.
