CD Favor. I designed a stamp and embossed each CD cover. (See picture of table for front of CD) Inside, on pearl vellum paper, I put “Our Story” and a Thank you note. I also designed the CD label itself and tied the whole thing with a bronze bow.

Out of Town (OOT) Boxes. I folded sturdy hand made paper with leaves made into it, into boxes. I topped each one with a leaf bow. I reinforced the bottom of it with bronze (for boxes containing white wine), or red, (for red wine boxes) heavy cardstock. I gathered a variety faux leaves into a bundle and tied each one with a long, wide, sheer bronze ribbon (like a veil). Inside each box was an individual bottle of wine (red or white), a small fruit and cheese tray, 3 Ghiradelli chocolate squares, gourmet chips and a silver Voss water bottle.

Bridal Party. My dress was a vintage style dress called “Edwina” by Maggie Soterro. It is made of a crinkle ivory material. The bodice is made of lace and assorted crystals and beads. My seamstress (Jean James) made a shawl with arms out of the same lace material that I got from Maggie Sotero. My Bouquet consisted of Black Magic and Black Baccara roses. The bridesmaids wore a light bronze, fitted dress with a thin palomino sash around the mid thigh to the knee. The dress is from Impression Bridal. The dress is ruched above the sash and flairs out below it. They wore a 3 stran pearl necklace with a bronze rose clasp worn on the right side of their necks. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were black magic and camel roses. The groomsmen wore a Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The vests were the same color as the bridesmaids dresses with a palomino colored paisley design.

Reception décor. My reception table linens were in 3 colors. Some were scarlet, some were gold and the rest were a color that mixed scarlet and gold. The material of the table linens was crinkled, pulling together the wedding dress, invitation and program, (which were also crinkled.) The center pieces were made of cast iron and they supported a variety of fall colored roses. They were done by "Janet Flowers." Each table had a different centerpiece. Some were tall, some were short. The napkins on the table were folded in a tuxedo fold alternating with a tri fold that resembled a veil or dress. On top of each napkin I made and put my flower almond favors that had miniature red roses in the center of each. Also at each place setting was my CD of my favorite classical music. I designed a stamp and embossed each CD cover. Inside, on pearl vellum paper, I put “Our Story” and a Thank you note. I also designed the CD label itself and tied the whole thing with a bronze bow.

Wedding Invitation. My wedding invitations were bronze and cream. The material was a crinkle material echoing my dress, which was made of a crinkle material. They were made by Hannah - Handmade Invitations. I also decorated the plain cream colored box mailer with a bronze and cream address label that I designed and with bronze, gold, copper, and green leaves for the fall.
