homemade wedding!



AHHH!
it must just be the summer of love or something, but i just got back from yet another wedding!! sarah & jason, one of the cutest couples ever, got hitched on may 28th!
[arent they just the cutest? love them.]
anyways, this wedding was in indiana--and it was one of the best weddings i have ever been to! so personal, laid back, hilarious...soooo jason and sarah.
sarah and i also made almost all of the decorations in her wedding! sarah came down to oklahoma for a weekend in april, and we spent a whole fabulous, sunny saturday working on decorations! our first project was some picture frames that we found for $1-2 at the etcetera shop that we spray painted "sunshine yellow." (her colors were purple and yellow). it took sevvvveral coats, but they turned out really fun!
you can see the progression....

haha i guess someone forgot to take out their picture before etcetera-shopping it! i actually kept that picture, its hanging up in my craft barn. i love old people!

the frames--i love all the different sizes!
spraypainting with the "sunshine yellow." i guess it was cheap or just too windy in oklahoma that day, but it took soooo many coats and like 4 cans of paint! not as easy as it looked, right, sarah? haha we had fun with it.

these are the finished products that i finished after sarah headed back to kansas. i glued cloth flowers over the places that were messed up or not covered very well.

i kind of had a little kuhnzie shrine in my craft barn going on for a while! haha. here you can see that we made little signs out of dad's stash of beautiful barn wood. i even learned how to use some sort of wood-cutter-thing! legit.

and here it is in action! proud!

at sarah's batchelorette party! the scarf is from the etcetera shop, and the i made the "happy" sign for sarah for christmas one year! purple and yellow--such a fun color selection! i found the purple and yellow M&M's at a store in indiana called "meijer." its honestly the best store ever. it has EVERYTHING. and everything is fresh and beautiful there, and they....well, dont let me get started on it. lets just say that i loved meijer, i miss it already!!

and this was the kuhns sign by the end of the driveway! sarah's kuhns cousins put everything together at the wedding, and it looked amazing!

and now i'm semi-sad that this wedding is over! i looooved dreaming up crafty things to do for it! haha, oh well. i think i can deal.
