Stationery on display

Back in May, I teamed up with Naomi Lee of Les Saisons to create a table display at The Wedding Cafe. Truth be told, anytime I work with Naomi I tend to breathe a little easier because everything she touches results in something beautiful! For this set-up, she layered a luxurious embroidered linen on a satin magenta linen...and then...she bustled the magenta linen. It was the first time I had seen this done with table linen and the end result looked just like a pickup skirt on a couture wedding gown. With nothing but a handful of straight pins, she transformed the table into a work of art. Wish I had some nice wide angle shots of the entire table, but do have some close-up detail pics to share.

Decided to create a "wishing tree" for our imaginary bride and groom:



You can leave blank cards out for your guests to write special wishes for the lovely couple:


Once your guests have penned their wishes, they can hang them with organza ribbon to create a lovely wishing tree:



Custom table number insert in 5" x 7" frame:



I created this mock invitation using two layers of metallic cardstock and mounted that to a gold embossed paper for added texture. Gold Swarovski crystals added the perfect finishing touch. I started with this invitation and created all the other stationery pieces to complement it:
