Wedding Signs

A bride-to-be contacted me about making one of my “Happily Ever After” signs for her December wedding, and I was happy to oblige.

She wanted it to look really old and rustic, so for the first time I did not use an old cupboard door for this sign.  Instead, I bought a piece of rough plywood that was knotty, uneven, and splinter-y! (I sanded the splinters off.  Or they came off in my fingers.  A little of both happened.)

I also made a “coordinating” sign for a display of family wedding pictures (what a fun idea!)…

…plus one for the hot chocolate table…

…and a couple more for other “stations” at the reception. (I love the big knothole in the middle of the “Gifts” sign.)

It was my first time making a whole wedding collection!

I guess it’s good practice for when my children start getting married off…hopefully that’s a few years away for me!

  2. That is one smart bride. Not only does she have awesome signage for her wedding, but keepsakes to hang on her wall "ever after".
