This past September, I got married! It was a small ceremony on the beach in Florida, a real dream come true! As you can imagine, this was the perfect opportunity to marry my love for food and design. My husband is also very creative so designing all the sweet little touches was something we really enjoyed together. From the "Save the Dates" and invitations to the name cards and menus, I was very excited about how it all turned out!
 |
| Flower Arrangements We found this old coffee can at Jeff's Grandparent's old barn. |
 |
| Guest Door Hangers These guest name tags were hung on the doors throughout the beach house so our guests would know where they were staying when they arrived. |
 |
| Guest Gift Bags I designed this logo and had a local print shop print it on these canvas bags we picked up at Hobby Lobby. All of our house guests received a bag filled with beach goodies! |
 |
| Napkins/Name Cards/Menus Talk about multi-tasking! Jeff and I picked out a bunch of different vintage-looking fabrics and my mom sewed all the napkins. This was great because we now have a beautiful collection of napkins we can use for dinner parties, holidays, etc. We designed the menu cards and then cut out pieces of the golden-yellow paper (left over from our invitations) and wrote each persons name on them. I used bronze tacks to attached them to the menus. |
 |
| Signs My mom & dad made this adorable sign. My dad used wood from an old fence to put it together and then my mom painted it with acrylics. We posted it up outside the beach house where we got married so our guests could easily find it. If you are interested in having one of these adorable signs made for your event, my mom does custom orders on Etsy. Check it out! |
 |
| Bibb Salad This dish was inspired by one of our favorite restaurants, Fireside Pies. Boston Bibb lettuce, cherry tomatoes, bacon, hearts of palm, avocado, goat cheese and a tangy red wine vinaigrette. |
 |
| Kabobs & Grilled Vegetables In keeping with the beach theme, we decided to go simple: chicken & shrimp kabobs with grilled asparagus and roasted red potatoes. |
 |
| The perfect day! |
