Then, on a shopping frenzy, I picked up these large white letters on sale at Michaels. They were only $1.50 each, plus I think it's kind of sweet that our initials spell "DO." I literally had no plan, I just bought them and hoped I could work them in somehow. Now I am thinking they might make great chair signs. However, I am not entirely ready to give up on the "bride" and "groom" signs. I have collected a series of inspiration pictures and I am hoping I can kind of incorporate these different elements into a cohesive design. (Hang in there I know there is A LOT going on!)
I really like the sweetness of these signs... we are also using a lot of whimsical calligraphy at our wedding so like this but smaller might work.
I think this whole setup might be the closest to what I want. Instead of blue ribbon it would be pink or lace. However, I would hang the letters a little lower and then add the words "bride" and "groom" to the chair.
After all that, I realized that maybe its just too much. Maybe I should just K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, silly) it. Look at how sweet and simple these striped letters.
I love these fabric pom-poms, I think they are a great touch and would be super simple. I don't love the white, on white, on white, but since my chairs will probably be gold/silver, then I can add a pink pom-pom or fabric flowers to my chair and burlap ones to the groom chair. hmm... so many possibilities.
As an alternative to adding bride and groom signs to the sign, I could somehow try to do something like this: There is actually a great tutorial on how to do this... the problem is that I only have one set of letters so I really can't afford to mess them up with a DIY project.

Love these. Simple. Romantic and really diy-able!

I think I'm gonna keep the letters white, do something simple with burlap, ribbon and lace and just call it a day. Who would have thought chair signs could be so complicated!?!
I have about 5 months till my wedding and your blog has seriously been a huge source of inspiration for me. Your timeline and all the little details, Thank You!!! I learned how to store my dress from as well! Oh and the new blog will be up in January will with a new domain name. Happy Holidays!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower (as of today) and have completely fallen in love with your blog after reading this post. you inspired me to do the same for my wedding! i had a friend that bought a beautiful W (for my fiance's last name) and painted it white and did a silver damask pattern all over it. she finished the edges with pearls and a gorgeous white with glitter scrapbooking flower. You'd absolutely love it and you inspired me to ask her to make a S (for my name, Stephanie) and an M (for my fiance, Mathew) to put on our chairs.
