| Buy flowers you like. I chose a "pointy" theme. |
 |
| I decided to pick a star of my bouquet...the "wow" centerpiece. |
 |
| Arrange. |
 |
| Embellish. |
 |
| Arrange all of them. |
 |
| Wrap with floral wire, hot glue ribbon on top, then you're done! With that one... |
 |
| Repeat! |
 |
| Repeat! |
 |
| Okay, now you're really done! |
 |
| Enjoy your work!!! |
 |
| All in action! |
 |
| Yep, got home with all of them...oops. |
 |
| Beads. |
 |
| Enter: White platform shoes. |
 |
| Slingback, peeptoe, platform white shoes, to be exact. |
 |
| Enter: Earrings cut by wire cutters to become jewels. |
 |
| Sew/glue jewels on. For me, something was still missing. |
 |
| Beads! Hot glue 'em in there! |
 |
| Final product - birdseye (But not my most flattering angle...) |
 |
| And there's the money shot. :^) |
 |
Begin with wooden letters (bought mine from Hobby Lobby) and you'll need paint, brushes, lots of space, and Sharpies. |
 |
| These are the colors I chose and this is a closer up of all of the supplies. |
 |
| Test coat on the back to see what color of Sharpie will work for each letter. Finally decided to let guests figure it out. :^P |
 |
| Coat #1. Ewwww. |
 |
| Coat #2. Also learned to have letters elevated. Important fact. |
 |
| Coat #3. Starting to look decent! |
 |
| Coat #4 - really wished I would have just bought a stupid guest book at this point. |
 |
| Extra coat #5 for the more watery colors and then we're done! |
 |
| Action shot. |
 |
| Final product! Gotta figure out how to seal them now.... |
Lyndsey (Bull) Presnell and Tabitha met in high school (9th grade) and at first Lyndsey was intimidated by Tabitha. But for senior year, Lyndsey was to be the Teens for Christ president and Tabitha the vice president. They decided at the Junior year Ice Cream social that they would most likely become close friends. It was a good business decision. :^) She will serve as Tabitha's Matron of Honor.
Joseph Kreilaus is Jon's younger brother and will be his Best Man. They were only 2 years apart and so they were very close growing up and still are to this day. Jon and Tabitha miss Joe and his wife Miranda, but are excited for them to come up for the wedding (and any other time they come up from Mississippi).
Ashley Ferguson (Also known as 1st Ashley, Awwuu, or Fergie) and Tabitha met as roommates for Freshman year at OU. It was a huge adjustment to meet someone and then live with them, but they hit it off and the year molded them into livelong friends. She is going to be Tabitha's Bridesmaid.
Sarah (Erhardt) Connelly and Tabitha also met Freshman year at OU. Sarah lived kinda across the hall from Tabitha and Ashley and nearly the entire wing of 7E was close. Sarah was an added bonus, though, because she originated from Jenks, which was about an hour from where Tabitha came from. They got to visit each other over breaks and sometimes they carpooled. :^) Sarah is going to be Tabitha's Bridesmatron. And yes, that just may be a made up word.
Derrick Ivory is Jon's friend that he met from church way back when (sometime after Jon was 16 yrs. old?) and will be another one of Jon's groomsmen. Derrick and Jon have always been there for each other and Derrick was particularly a great source of encouragement when Jon was trying to convince Tabitha to date him. Thanks, Derrick!
