Happenstance

Because I have the best friends and family, I had a lot of help with making things for my wedding.  On one of our craft days we put together animal themed Photo Booth Props.  One of my favorite things about these props (other than how obviously amazing they are), is that they are almost all 2 sided. 

My Aunt Mary (with help from Rebecca, Sarah, my mom, and others) threw me the most fabulous Bridal Shower at her house. It was better than I could have dreamed! They created the most perfect decor: And the food....oh the food! The very best part was seeing all of the people I love the most.  Perfection!

Mark and I worked with our amazingly talented friend  Leslie , to create our wedding invites. Mark and I wanted to make sure that the invites included elements of the zoo, our personalities, wedding colors, and maybe some Celtic influence. Leslie, was phenomenal to work with, she listened closely to our vision and had great suggestions.  After months of collaboration, we finally had the perfect invites: We went through  OvernightPrints  to print out the invites and I was very impressed with the quality and pricing. Then it was time to put on the final touches and send the invites out! Leslie even made us a custom stamp! I could not be happier with how everything turned out!

Sarah redesigned the animal masks for me and I could not be more pleased with the results (we are referring to them as the chibi versions)! They are much more appropriately proportioned for smaller faces and printing ease. She even remade all of the patterns for me!  Head over here to see how I made my very first felt animal mask.  This is going to be a long post, as I am going to share all of them here. However, I am not going to go into the details. This is really more of a way for me to show off Sarah's amazing designs and my hard work!
