{Maria & Tony's Wedding} Recycled Money Box

The last and final task for the wedding was to take an old money box, strip it down to nothing (this box must have been used years ago in another wedding – it had some tacky décor on it), and turn it into something classy that matched the rest of the wedding.  I scratched off the old glue and ripped off the tacky flowers.  I bought thick silver ribbon and sparkly rhinestone buckle.  The quality of the pictures are poor because of the lighting at the venue, so the pictures do not do this box any justice at all. However, it is quite impressive in person!

I hope you enjoyed the wedding series. Weddings are my passion and I hope to have the opportunity to do more.

{Maria & Tony's Wedding} Table Seating Cards

Here are the matching Table Seating cards for the guests at Maria & Tony's wedding.  I used the following materials:


-Silver and Cream shimmer cardstock
-Silver ribbon
-i-Rock tool and crystals

If you look to the very left of this picture, there is a sneak peak of an item that will be the very last post in this wedding series. I had such a great time organizing all the paper aspects of this wedding and putting it all together.  Best part of it all is going to the venue and setting up!  It puts butterflys in my tummy!

 

{Maria & Tony's Wedding} Table Number Cards

In order to pull the silver and cream theme throughout the wedding, I just had to make Maria some matching table card numbers.  The ones from the venue were laminated and just plain ugly! A big no! So, once again I used the cream and silver shimmer cardstock, silver ribbon and the pretty embellishment.

{Maria & Tony's Wedding} Menu Cards

Menu cards were made to match the invitations and Maria wanted them for every guest.  Silver and cream shimmer cardstock were used as well as silver satin ribbon with a pretty little embellishment.

{Maria & Tony's Wedding} Favours

Remember those super pretty silver and creme custom wedding invitations I did?  If not, click here to see that post.  Here's the matching favour box. No machines used for this project, this was all manual labour, old-school style! I used prima fabric flowers, silver ribbon, crystal i-Rock gems (where would I be without that i-Rock?) and the scroll had a little message from the couple.
