Shabby Chic Invites

The actual invitation for the shower was inspired by an invitation on etsy, so, to be respectful of the original creator I will not be posting the picture of my "look-a-like." However, I did create two inserts that went a long with the invitation. One is posted below. The other insert contained information about the Lingerie Shower that took place right after the bridal shower.
Since I couldn't fit all of this information on the actual invite, I created a little card with "Extra Information." This card was a little bigger than a business card and could easily be hung on the fridge or stuck in a wallet/purse.

A Beachy Wedding: San Clemente, CA

I know I gave a sneak peek to my sister Chelsea's Shabby Chic bridal shower (which took place in July), but I'm going to keep you waiting with that full post and skip right to the wedding crafts that I did for her in August. Chelsea had a beautiful beachy/natural theme for her wedding, so I enjoyed putting some decorative items together for her. The following photos were taken by her wedding photographer Allie Lindsey Photography.

"Sweet Love" Banner

Banner, stickers, and covered photo frame
The covered photo frames fit perfectly with the theme.
The texture on this paper is amazing! I was thrilled to find it!

Stickers to seal the candy bags! There were four different designs.

Chair signs for the newlyweds! <3

Photo Booth Banner (it matches the "Sweet Love" banner)

The cute couple, being silly at the Photo Booth!

It was so much fun combining paper with burlap!




These are "action shots" from the day of the wedding, but I would like to schedule a session with my favorite photographer, Jennifer of j.lyniconography, so you can see all of the elements close up.
