Be Our Guest

 

Okay so I figured I would put some of my DIY stuff on here as well…I mean there is an amazing life I lead outside of all of this messy miscarriage business.

We got married on June 16th 2018 and I wanted something really cool for a seating chart so I found a french door on varage sale that cost me like $10 and I just went to town on it.
I sanded the crap out of it, I repainted it white using Fusion Mineral Casement and then I went over it with A grey from Fusion Mineral and made it looked really distressed.

I wanted to find a cool door knob but I couldn’t find one that made sense with the door soo I went without one, I mean if I didn’t leave that part till last minute i’m sure I could have found a cool one.

I used my #silhouettecameo and my computer to make vinyl cut outs of all the table numbers and names.  I then transferred it over so that a table was in each window of the door, I’m not gonna lie it took awhile to transfer it over but that’s mainly b/c the transfer tape I got was really intense…def not the right one to use.   Then since we love beauty and the Beast in this house….(well really all disney but my husband and daughter were doing their dance at the wedding to tale as old as time)  I cut out Be our Guest on vinyl and put it at the top of the door and bam my gorgeous door was finished.

I was overly obsessed with my door and to be honest i’m really sad that I sold it afterwards..someone bought it to use as a picture frame and well I wish that I just kept it.

Check out my photos of the before and after.  Also if you actually read this let me know if I should do a blog about my diy wedding…I mean I may do one anyways but I’d rather some kind of feed back first 🙂

Nat and Matt’s Collingwood Wedding

Okay so many years ago I used to Sprint Race Kayak with a fairly (haha) cool chick. This girl was fearless (still is) I never seen her wear a lick of make up. So when Nat sent me an email about her wedding day I was so excited; I love putting make up on girls whom i know and have never seen wear make up.

I ended up knowing a few people in her party from paddling as well so it was a pretty good morning. It is always nice to see people whom you haven’t seen in such a long time and if you know Nat you know that her personality is one of those that you just can’t get enough of (even though I may not like to admit that so saying that is a big step for me :P).

The big day was in Sept and it started off pretty rainy and dreary outside I got there and Nat was walking outside with her dogs with a raincoat on but she remained positive as she KNEW she was getting married outside and there was no way she was going to change the plans of her big day!
I had a great morning and some hilarious moments and sure enough when it was time for Nat to get married the sky cleared up and it turned into a gorgeous day so she got to have her outdoor wedding that she wanted!

Nat looked absolutely stunning and I am so glad that I got to be a part of her day as well as my amazing Cousin Mia Purdy who did her wedding photos.

Please take a look at the photos and let us know what you think :)!!!

Nat thanks again and hopefully I will see you soon!!
