DIY wedding invitation wheel
Sculpture from the sinkhole table at our wedding.  Each table represented a different California disaster.
Recipe binders we made as wedding favors from the recipes guests sent in with their reply cards.
Place cards I made from slicing a discarded eucalyptus branch with a mitre saw.  i printed clear labels with guests names to stick on top.
The gorgeous wool chuppah my mother sewed for us. Guess you know where I get my crafty genes!

My husband and I are both designers, so we created a lot of the items for our wedding ourselves, including the eucalyptus place "cards," "California Disaster" table sculptures, recipe book favors, tote bags and my favorite, our "planters' wheel" invitations.
