Behind the Display: Memorial

photograph by Jason Harms of Harms Studio

The other big display for the ceremony site was a memorial for Amanda's grandmother. The elements included:

1. Photograph of Amanda and her grandma
2. Flowers the father of the bride picked out
3. Some of Grandma Schultz's favorite books (she and the bride shared a love of reading)
4. Vintage milk bottles/carrier belonging to Amanda's mom
5. Window - garage sale find by the bride
6. "Love" hoop:

• I found the lace by the roll in the ribbon section at Hobby Lobby
• We used the lace throughout the tables, food tables, displays
• The background was bridesmaid dress fabric
• Embroidery hoop also from Hobby Lobby
• I sewed the letters (made of other wedding materials) with my trusty craft sewing machine
• The bride gave this as a gift to her honorary bridesmaid, who was out of the country and unable to make it to the ceremony
  

I like the top display picture by the photographer because of the picket fence in the background, but this one - also by the photographer- has a little less glare.
