Carolyn + Joe - 6.23.12

Taking a little DIY and home remodeling break to bring you some more summer wedding details from my day-job wedding planning :)

Here are some lovely detail shots from Carolyn and Joe's June wedding -- seriously the nicest couple you will ever meet. It was truly a pleasure working with them as Carolyn and Joe brought together their dream wedding day.

Silver Frames presented each guest's placecard.

Buttercup Yellow Tablecloth and bright yellow and white florals welcomed guests.

A photo booth gave guests an outlet to cut loose for the camera all night.

Crafted Wisconsin Cheeses -- yum!

Carolyn presented their family wedding photos from three generations back on each side.


Carolyn and Joe's engagement photos were made into an album for guests to sign instead of a traditional lined guestbook.

The whole Fields Ballroom was brightened with White Pintuck Tablecloths, White Lamour Chair Covers, and Buttercup Lamour Napkins and Chairties.

A centered dance floor gave every guest a great view of their first dance.

Menu cards informed guests of their meal.
Each table was named after a place significant to the Bride & Groom.

Carolyn's mother made these lovely arrangements of silk flowers and ribbons  to border the entrance to the Ballroom.

Their DJ created an "R" initial light, projected onto the dance floor all night.

I loved their cake selection. As bright and cheerful as the rest of their wedding decor.

Each tier looked like it's own special wrapped gift.

Fresh Flowers and a jeweled "R" adorned the cake, created by The Baking Institute.

A unique layout to a traditional dance floor, the Bride and Groom sat on a curved "L" shape table.

Current Faves

Here are just a few things I'm currently loving this summer: All the new layouts for Shutterfly photo books . After YEARS of saying I'd get around to scrapbooking photos from last year, and the year before, and the year before, I finally caught site of one of my good friend's adorable little girls gracing the cover of one of these photo books at her home. That was it -- it was decided I would finally get around to creating my own albums. So far I have created albums for 2007, 2008, 2009, our wedding, and our honeymoon. More to come!   If you haven't previously seen pics on the blog of our pup, Flaps, you don't know what kind of cuteness you are missing. He's a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier we rescued last Fall when he was only 10 weeks old. My pup-based obsession right now -- these great, fluffy dog beds from L.L.Bean.  I haven't braved the recent Maxi Dress trend, but I picked up this black Maxi Skirt from Old Navy and have been wearing ...

DIY Burlap Placemats

BLOG UPDATE! These placemats are now available on my Etsy store TheSundayPaperie Customize with any words you'd like! I saw this picture on Pinterest, courtesy of the design blog, Cottage and Vine , and fell in love with the simplicity and quirkiness of these placemats. The original poster advises some basic burlap and just using a Sharpie for the lettering. A great afternoon DIY project.  I set out to make 6 to use on my kitchen table when it's fully set. Now, for what the write? Here were a few options: 6 synonyms for 'eat': eat, nourish, chow, bite, dine, devour 6 ways to say 'eat' in various languages: eat (English), φάω (Greek), comer (Spanish), manger (French), essen (German), jeść (Polish) Or I was thinking to just write out the works one through six. After a little survey of friends online, the concesus was to write it out in various languages. So here is how it went down: I wanted each placemat to be 14" x 20", so I p...

Instant Pot Thick Greek Yogurt

We are Greek, yet I have never attempted to make my own Greek yogurt (I know, *gasp*). We are Fage faithful purchasers, since this is what my husband and I both grew up and deem "the real stuff." But since our Crock-Pot Express joined out family at Christmas, I decided it was time to try it out. Worst case, I was out a half gallon of milk. This recipe was a huge (good) surprise though! Perfect tart taste and thick, creamy consistency. Ingredients: 1 half gallon of milk (use can use any fat level, I used 2%) 3 T of Fage Plain Greek Yogurt (be sure it says "Live Cultures" on the container) Instant Pot or Crock-Pot Express Cheesecloth Mesh Strainer or Colander Digital Thermometer Large Bowl Hel pful Tip: O nce you start making your own yogurt, save 3T of your last batch to add to the new one as your “starter”.  I like to freeze it as a yogurt cube, then I never have to worry about saving some. Instructions: Starting with a...
