Prototypes

Kate and I started creating prototypes of the crafts I want to incorporate to the wedding. There are several different projects that we will work on over the next 10.5 months and getting an accurate timeline requires prepping materials. Sitting down and actually making one or two of each craft to see what works, what doesn't and how quickly we will be able to knock these out!

We want to make centerpiece lanterns, favors, ring pillow, photo-booth props, etc. By shopping Michael's sales and bringing along our coupons we are getting materials for a song and using our collective effort.

**Full disclaimer: Kate is truly the artsy one. I am merely an apprentice, although I'm getting some great on the job training. I want it to feel like these are my ideas and be fully involved with every touch of our wedding. I'm so lucky that my MOH was a studio art minor in college.

So, this past week, we started an art project that I don't want to talk too much about as they are surprises for my Bridesmaids. I'm really excited about this, even though it may take several weeks (ok, probably a couple of months) to finish all of them. Well worth it I think. I even created an original color!

As things come along, I will post photos.

Love ,
Shannon

    I've been doing the same thing! Most of my decor is pretty quick, but it is the flowers I am worried about, but I might get the help of a florist for some of it. The last thing I want is for them to be wilting during the party. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

    As far as flowers go, I'm lucking out. My Gram was a florist for years so I am buying flowers in bulk and she is doing the arrangements/bouquets.
