Take it away girl...

Hi there! This is Caroline the author of Good Times Never Seem Sew Good and the designer of the shop Cotton Lane.


I'm so excited that Tonya invited me to guest post on her blog today, what an honor!


On New Years Eve, my fiance David asked me to be his wife. I had been waiting for that moment for my whole life and when it was finally here, it was so surreal. After the shock of being engaged wore off, David, my mom and I got to planning.




I scoured the internet trying to find a creative way to ask my bridal party to be a part of my wedding. Much to my dismay, I couldn't find anything that really suited my fancy, so I came up with this cute idea on my own! I hope you enjoy, feel free to steal my idea! :)


{FYI: the colors I'm using for my wedding are pale/robins egg blue, deep red, and mustard yellow, so I incorporated these colors}


First, I took an old ugly mirror (with character) I got for $8 at a flea market and spray painted the frame robins egg blue and the mirror part with some awesome chalkboard spray paint (aka the best invention EVER!) I had left over from this project, followed the instructions and let it dry overnight. 




Then, I wrote with chalk my messages & my sweet fiance took pictures of me!








I had the pictures printed from Walgreens (about $3) and took plain black frames from Wal Mart (about $2 each) and wrapped them with strips of red fabric (about $5)




And then mailed them to all my future bride's maids. They loved them, and now they have a picture of me sitting on their desk (ha ha)!


Best part about it? I can keep my new chalkboard and hang it in our apartment/house when we're married in four months. Yes, four months. Ahh, its so soon!!


I hope you enjoyed, let me know what you think & if you ever use my idea (or have any questions!)


Thanks, Tonya for letting me guest post over here today! :)
