Vintage Wedding Cards and Cake Toppers

After our daughters wedding next Saturday,    the guests are all invited  to our home for an afternoon of food and fun.   There will be sitting area's in the house as well as in the front and back yard.....hope the weather cooperates!
  This sitting area is in the formal living/dining room

I made a garland for the fireplace using a few of the wedding cards that my mother received  back in  1948.  

 I bought a 'stiff" strand of pearls that I found at HL in the wedding section.    The pearl letters came from Michael's.   I used a very thin needle to run thread thru the vintage cards and then tied them to the pearls

I didn't want to damage the card's and I think this method worked well.

I think the guests might enjoy looking thru the cards,  so I have bowls of them scattered around the room.

I have Melissa and Randy's photo album on the mantle.....and

I have decorated the fireplace with my collection of vintage wedding cake toppers

Here in Eastern New Mexico,  cowboy cake toppers are very popular.....

Most of my wedding toppers are yard sale finds.

Wouldn't a beach wedding be fun!    There are no beaches here in New Mexico!

This coming week we will clean the house and do some of the cooking!
