50th Anniversary

Happy Monday Morning! Today is a long posting so get your coffee ready. I am sharing my parents 50th Anniversary celebration. My Dad, as he said "I don't want a Circus" so we kept it small. We set up chairs, alter and tables in my back yard, which made it intimate and perfect. 

Here is a photo of the front and back of the invite.
This was kind of a last minute celebration I ordered
the invites and didn't realize the photo paper was so
flimsy. Fortunately, I had gold CS to add a backing to
the photo. It was a good thing because  I didn't put my
 parents name on the invite.😆(Oh Dear) They
turned out okay in the end.    

I decorated a basket by spray painting it white,
adding jeweled lace and flowers to it. We filled it
with white rose petals and had my niece walk down
the isle in front of my Mom. I added glitter
and flowers to decorate the wine glasses. 

I made napkin holders to help add color to
 the tables. I embossed the outside square and
 added the ribbon. Using die cuts I made the
 "50th" embellishment and added it to
the center.

I wanted some kind of an alter for my parents
to renew their vows. I ordered this arch on line.
Boy you get what you pay for. It was very
flimsy so we had to tie it down with fishing line. 

After adding sheer material and flowers
I think it came out really nice. 

This is a picture before the ceremony of
my Parents.

Thank you for sharing your time with me while I share my family with you. God Bless
