A while back I showed you the invitations for Mary and Kevin’s wedding. Here are a few photos of the day courtesy of Finest Moment Photograpy:
The wedding party was a large one! Mary decided to go with two different bridesmaid dresses to liven things up a bit:
Wedding programs- not letterpress printed! But they were designed to go along with their invitations:
The place cards were made from letterpress printed coasters attached to colored papers that were used throughout the reception hall. Each name and table number was handwritten.
Cake decorated with the same flowers used in the bridesmaid bouquets (made by Kevin’s sisters- they turned out beautifully).
Mary wasn’t crazy about having live flowers on the tables for the reception. Domestic Construction came up with these instead (hand cut, hand painted, hand assembled):
The head table:
The dance floor was never empty:
Oh, that canopy… Made from hand cut circles, attached one by one:
I have never had so much fun at a wedding. Cousins, aunts, uncles and siblings spent a week together preparing everything from the programs to the center pieces. It is very rare to come by that sort of quality time anymore, since many of us are living our lives in a place other than home. I can’t wait for the next one.
Letterpress printed thank you card…
