Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette, I put decided to wrap up this week’s gift with feathers. And kraft, of course. I think every other gift wrap idea I put up includes kraft. Might be time for some more variation, but today, we’ll stick to the classic. I cut these feathers out of paper. Then I drew a line down the middle with my scoring stick, bend the edges up a bit, and added glitter down the middle. I then tied up the package with jute twine and some sparkly ribbon. Voila!

Real Wedding: Tanya + Joey

Filed Under : Invitations - Paper Projects - Wedding

Last summer my sister got married and I’m only now getting around to sharing a little of the paper goods + details in action. I got to do both the stationery and help her with styling. She did most of the brainstorming herself, but it was fun getting to work on several DIY projects throughout and constantly sending her ideas from Pinterest. I also put together an inspiration board for her before we got down to the nitty gritty.

You might remember her bird themed wedding stationery that I shared a while back, but I didn’t show you everything. Here’s a little look into the blessing tags that guests got to write on and pin (I hand painted mini clothespins mint) onto twine string looping between trees. A welcome message inserted into a mint frame was placed on the guest table and a “love is sweet” scroll decked out the cake table. The chalkboard table numbers weren’t captured, but I did a DIY post on them earlier. Other than that, you’ll find everything below and the program over on the stationery blog post.

My sister decked out us bridesmaids in custom-sewn mint dresses and the groomsmen in charcoal suits with their sleeves rolled up. I think the color palette of mint, peach, and ivory was swoon-worthy — and the bouquets were to die for.
