From Cameron, Carol and Steve…

Another really cool project…Carol repurposed a wedding invitation to conceal their vows. Designed by Carol and Steve’s friend, Kristie, is a local Flagstaff artist and teaches art to junior high students in Winslow. She designed them to be reminicent of the wedding site, and linoleum block printed an edition of 100. She signed and numbered each. The result was that each guest received a limited edition piece of art that commemorated our wedding as well as an invitation.

From Steve…my sister made the wedding cake. This caused great anxiety with my mother, who feared an amature cake might somehow be the wedding’s downfall, bringing only ruin and despair to our big day; my sister is an air traffic controller, and not a professional baker. The end result was beautiful, though, and was a great way to put money into areas our guests would appreciate more directly.

Oh, I just love all of these personal touches. Not only do they bring a sense of intimacy to the wedding…Steve and Carol now have so many stories to tell about their big day! Thanks, Cameron, for sending to us and a HUGE congratulations to Steve and Carol!

From Cameron, Carol and Steve…

The wedding was filled with DIY touches. Carol’s sister printed up, cut out, and pasted old family photographs to construction paper and then hung them on twine with clothespins on the “forest walk” to the ceremony site.  Every guest stopped to check out the photos.  It was a huge HIT!

Also in superb DIY fashion their friends cut out Aspen tree ‘rounds’ and arranged tabletop flowers within them. They turned out beautiful. Our friend David constructed these rounds by cutting a fallen aspen into sections and auguring multiple holes into each to contain the stems. He sealed the bottoms with a lacquer to prevent water from leaking onto the tablecloths.

Other tidbits…The bride’s friend Tamara arranged her bouquet using many local flowers including a huge sunflower.  They wrote their own vows, and used a beautiful wood-cut paper invitation to conceal them.

More to come!

From Cameron…

Steve and Carol have been together forever. They even went to prom together! Their ceremony location was tucked behind some Aspen trees in the middle of the forest at 8,000 in Flagstaff, AZ and it was gorgeous. They made this wedding really reflect their personalities. They had lawn games and many DIY details. From the FANCY portable “Royal” restroom facility to the artist who crafted their invites, Carol must have spent hours dreaming up the details to her wedding.

More details and pictures coming soon!
