Real Wedding: Jennifer and Scott, II
Loving how approachable this wedding is…with pretty details, effortless elegance and a sense of family and friends. Just as a wedding should be. Shot by the wonderful Q Weddings, the affair is all about simple, easy beauty…
The location had cabins with a real rustic feel, lending to a laid back weekend. Picture this: a real log cabin (with needlepoint samplers) just steps from the beach! It felt like being at a summer camp. Jenifer and Scott asked their many nieces and nephews to be in the bridal party. Such an honor… the kids were all abuzz about their special role in the wedding.
Another eBay find and so unique: porcelain flower pins. These were very popular in the 60s. It was a great way to give everyone flowers to wear, and they got to take them home. As for her dress, Jenifer found a seamstress who, for a number of years, had been saving pieces of vintage fabric and laces. The seamstress (who is definitely talented!) stitched all the pieces together into Jenifer’s dress. It was a work of art and labor of love.
A bit more on the way!

I am loving those porcelain flowers. I am looking for a wedding favor that can also double as place cards. Something simple that goes with my theme. Those are gorgeous!
Hi, can you tell me how you designed the stamps on the response cards?
The porcelain flowers are such a great idea! What a great keepsake - and each one unique.
I agree...I would love to know who they used for the stamps on the response card!
stamp on the response card info! Also, I adore the flower pins...a wonderful idea!!!
I agree those pins are beautiful, another good idea is to have a single bloom, sticking out from a folded napkin. A lot of my brides loved that!
I don't know where they got the stamps, but I do know that you can make custom stamps (using a photo or design of your choosing) a couple different places online:
http://photo.stamps.com
and
http://www.pictureitpostage.com/
I'm sure there are more sites out there but those are the two I've looked at. I'd like to do this for my invites, but I'm not sure if I can justify the added expense.
Hi... it's Jenifer (of Jenifer and Scott)... I used stamps.com to make the postage stamps. The design was done by Andrea Tahlier of Float Paperie in Chicago, who designed the invitations. The heart was part of the design on the invite, so she sent me a .jpg file of just that element, and I made the stamps from that.
If you're interested in the flower pins, search ebay for "vintage enamel flower pins" I got most of them in bulk sales, but some were so cool I bought them one at a time.
I LOVE the Invites... How can I get in-touch with Andrea?
Zazzle is another website for stamps. Anyone who has photoshop elements can do custom
"photos" . . . simple drawing, monograms, etc. I know my photoshop elements has over 300
fonts . . . you just create a new (blank) file, fill in whatever color you choose, and type it, or hand
write it (though this often looks childish, it doesn't really look like handwriting.) You can also
"buy" a photo of almost anything you like on sites like istockphoto and use it for a background.
I did a stamp for my friends wedding. Her wedding had an autumn theme . . . I bought a background
photo of leaves, uploaded it, and used photoshop to write the date of the leaves. You can use
crop the photo to th size of the stamp, and viola! Check out istockphoto. com for pictures of
your favorite flower, a fabric, rocks, leaves, sky, wine bottles, cowboy boots, ANYTHING that can
help you personalize your stamp. Of if you perfer, go to Kodak Gallery . . . they
have stickers - upload your photo and use your custom stickers as seals on your envelopes.
I even did stickers to put on my nieces wedding cake boxes, with a photos of the couple and
"Thank You . . . You Take the Cake!"
