My Wedding Part 1 - Save the Date

This is Melissa here. I am so thrilled to finally share some images, graphic design, and projects for my wedding that was in Glasgow, Scotland. First up is my Save the Date I designed with help from my fellow Perfect Dressipier (?) Amanda! I wanted it to be whimsical and fun, to make people want to come to Scotland to share our special day with us. I printed them on Neenah Paper Sundance Cover in Ultra White felt finish paper and cut them each individually. I ordered recycled brown paper bag type envelopes from Action Envelope.

Everytime we go to Scotland, I love seeing the sheep and Highland coos. I resigned to putting them on the Save the Date, because my husband would not allow the real things at our wedding! Let me know what you think!

A Scottish Wedding

Hello our beloved followers. We are back stateside from what was one of the best weddings ever! The venue was beautiful. The bride and groom were stunning. Food was delicious...and of course there were some Perfect Dressipe details that I must share with you. Melissa wanted a touch of handmade elements at her wedding so we embarked on a few things.

First we made her bouquet. A mixture of fabrics, textures and flower styles combined to make one of the most unique weddings bouquets I have ever seen.

Next up, hand-stitched felt table numbers in a variety of colors and patterns. We put these in quilt hoops and just leaned them against the center pieces. Everyone love them!

Melissa also got custom buttons made that not only acted as table placecards and nametags when people wore them, but will be something we will always have to remember this wonderful day.

Melissa also enlisted the help of our lovely friend at Space Cadet Jewelry to create her head piece. A combination of leather, feathers, beads, and vintage-esqe tulle for another one-of-a-kind detyail for her wedding. The tulle was removable so it was perfect for ceremony to reception!

Overall...a HUGE success and we wish Melissa and her new man all the happiness in the world.

Farewell

The time has come for us to jaunt over to Scotland to celebrate the wedding of our dear friend and founder, Melissa!!!! We are all fortunate enough to go and cannot wait to tell stories of our adventures when we return. Plus some awesome wedding DIY projects we accomplished! (the photo above is the location for the wedding...House for an Art Lover.

Have a wonderful holiday and look forward to our posts reappearing in July.

And we are going to go search for Lochness after the wedding! Wish us luck.

Seeing plaid

One of us lovely ladies (Melissa) is getting married next week in Scotland! And we are all going. Wooohooooo!!! While I anxiously await my departure date I am dreaming of plaid. Do you have any favorite plaid? On anything?

Here are some great plaid fabrics for the spring/summer. Pictured above: Anna Maria Horner Little Folks Voile Four Square Sea.
