Hey there! I am back today to share some of the crafty details from Aaron and Crissie's marriage celebration party. The party was held at the lake home of our sweet friends Megan and Brandon (daughter and son-in-law of my friend Peggy). We chose an evening time frame in order to beat some of the heat, though I must say Mother Nature was especially kind to us!! The weather was wonderful!
The first craft idea I had for the party was the seven panel banner pictured above and below. Megan and I thought it would be fun to carry though the Las Vegas idea since that is where they married and honeymooned.
I used four cartridges to create the pennants for the banner: Las Vegas, Pretty Pennants, Tie the Knot, and Art Deco (the last two for their fonts).
Aaron and Crissie selected the photos used on the banner - this first one from a hockey game they attended.
I used the Mr & Mrs Cut from Tie the Knot, then added the word Edwards in a similar font.
Aaron and Crissie also chose this photo for the banner - a Halloween selfie of the two of them.
To continue with the Vegas them, I printed and cut decks of cards, poker chips and rolling dice. The cupcakes were two flavors with three frosting colors to match the Vegas colors.
Every wedding party needs wedding cakes!!
Other menu items included Caprese Skewers, meatballs, and homemade cheese spread.
We also served veggies and dip, hummus and flat bread, fresh fruits and cheeses, spanakopita, quesadillas, and ham and cheese roll ups (a big hit).
Our beverage center was outside stocked with water, sodas, wine, beer, and a signature drink I called the Vegas Strip!
Above is Bethany with our friend Alex and her dad. Below is Ian and Bethany. I was so happy that Ian came in from Atlanta for the party.
Oh the irony!!! We never actually took a photo of Aaron and Crissie together. Below is Crissie surrounded by several of her co-worker. They all had a great time.
