 Temple die is popped.  Add some die cut Mini Cherry Blossoms (from the July Add-on Kit) to the Temple. Pearl Viva Pen is used for the flower centers.

 Crown, Hair sticks, and flower centers have been brushed with Clear Wink of Stella.

Monstera Pillar Candle Wrap and Cake Topper

This is the last Hawaiian Wedding post.  The center pieces are glass with Monstera leaves made from card stock wrapped around.  This was a cut file found in the Silhouette Store. Inside the glass cylinder is a timed LED candle.  Height is approximately 11-1/2" tall.

.

Here's the cylinder on the guest tables:

As a surprise to the bride, this cake topper was custom made (it matched the Sandcastle previously posted).  All images were using the Silhouette. So cute!!!  The "Mr. & Mrs." are made using gold card stock, adhered to a smaller leaf, then attached on the jute string with mini clothes pins.  Each of the images are secured with wooden skewers.

A simple wedding cake with the cake topper.

Another surprise for the bride: the cake stand rim is decorated with linked Monstera leaves.

Thank you so much for reading through all these Wedding projects. It was quite a delightful memory to be had.  I loved being part of this special moment and enjoyed the challenge to create the decor for the special wedding and the special couple.  I hope you will be inspired to create something special for your someone sometime, too.

Hawaiian Wedding Utensil and Dessert Labels

Another project made for the June Hawaiian Wedding:  instead of individual name cards, there was "open" seating.  However, to customized this wedding, utensil holders were made using Recollections Kraft card stock.  Edges are sponged with dark brown ink.  These holders were placed at the table.

Here's a closer look at the holder. The pineapple is die cut with edges sponged and stippled with dark brown ink. Die is from Carta Bella Pineapple. Pineapple is held with a natural jute string.  Words are computer generated using Sweet Pea Font.

Another look:

Here is the labels for the dessert table:

Here's a closer look at the individual dessert label with the baker:

At the wedding, the following photos show some the labels positioned as follows (yum):

Left over deserts were bagged by guests to take home in Kraft bags:

Here's a closer look at the label made for the bag:

Thank you for stopping by today. There will b e one more post from this Hawaiian Wedding. Stay tuned.

Monstera Table Labels

Today's post continues with some of the June wedding projects. These are escort cards made for the main table and special guest table.

This reserved table signage is approximately, 5-1/2" x 7". Names are printed using the Sweet Pea Font with Dark Green Ink, then mounted on Recollections Kraft card stock. Edges are sponged with dark brown ink.  The Monstera Leaf is cut using the Silhouette machine.

Here's the individual escort card:  Size is the typical table size.

At the wedding, the names were inserted into a slice piece of wood:

 

Here are the appetizer labels which are the same size as the escort cards:

The main buffet labels: These were positioned on the right and left side of each item.

A closer look at the individual buffet label:

That's all for today.............a bit more of the Wedding projects to be posted soon.
Thank you for stopping by.

Monstera Wedding Banners

A quick post on the banners made for the June Hawaiian Wedding.  The Bride purchased the "Bride" and "Groom" wood words. Monstera cut leaves are behind the words to co-ordinate with the overall Monstera theme.

Here's the "Welcome" banner greeting the guests.  The inked wood clothespins held the leaves in place on a natural jute string. "Welcome" is cut using the Silhouette machine in Gold card stock and Sweet Pea Font.

In  front of the bar: a banner that simply says "Cheers".  Monstera leave them and Gold card stock. Again, inked clothes pins used to secure the letters on a natural jute string.

For the dessert table, "Love is Sweet" banner hung. Inked wooden clothes pins secured onto a natural Jute string used.  The same Gold card stock used for the Sweet Pea Font.

Thank you for stopping by to see the projects from the wedding. More projects to be posted soon.
