I've been working on several DIY projects. AJ and I will be making the centerpieces ourselves. I have a great idea for an alternative to escort cards, and a music inspired card box.

Mock up of centerpieces. The music notes and music stands were made by FI. We're adding pictures of our favorite music venue to the picture holders.

Card box

Picture
I want the cardbox to look like a street musician's open guitar case. I'm going to have a hole in the bottom of the case, and the case will have a wooden box attached to the bottom where the cards go in. I'll hide the box with a draped piece of fabric. I might even attach some coins to the bottom of the case, not sure yet. 

Update: Guitar case is here, now we just need to make the actual box part!

Escort Cards

Picture
I started making our drumstick escort cards. I made the template on Microsoft Paint, since the printing options are easier than photoshop's. I think they turned out quite cute! 

I'm going to have my grandfather make a wooden display, I'll line the display with styrofoam and stick the drumsticks in the styrofoam so they'll be upright. I'll cover the styrofoam with black and red stones.

Toss bouquet

It took a lot of work and doesn't look the greatest, but I guess it works. It was only $10 for all of the materials.

Ringbearer pillow

I bought it on Etsy and tied on the ribbon and some craft rings.
