Luau Wedding

Hello and welcome back to my little piece of blog land.

The daughter of a very good friend of mine recently got married. The wonderful young couple got married in Hawaii and my friend had a Luau wedding reception for them at her house.

Here are a few things I made ...

First their gift ...

It's a wedding towel cake. Do you think I made it tropical enough :-)

It is made up of 4 bath towels, 4 hand towels and 4 washcloths. The ribbon, starfish, flowers and netting were all purchased at Michaels.

Next I made the card with their gift in mind.  I used a file from Simply Crafty SVGs, called Hanging Towel Wedding Card, and made this card. You can find the SVG file HERE.

Isn't it cute? I'm a creature of habit, so my wedding cards are always in the tones of white, pearl, silver and gold, so when I started this card using the navy and white colour combo, I wasn't too sure about the result, but I think it worked out perfectly. What do you all think?  

This is a 5.5" x 5.5" card.

White linen Cardstock  - Michaels

Navy blue cardstock - GinaK.

Heart frame - Silhouette design #79602

Stamp - Rubber Stampede

Gems - Recollections

The last thing I made were these very delicious strawberry cupcakes and pineapple cupcakes. And, yes, they were delicious, even if I say so myself :-) I'm definitely using these two recipes again in future. My friend added the fun pineapple and strawberry picks and voila, a fun plate of cupcakes on the dessert table.

Thank you for stopping by today and allowing me to share some of my crafty creations with you.

Till next time,

Happy Crafting!
