Do you know if and how she made those napkins?? I mean, it looks like spray paint over doilies, but that would dry hard. I’d love to figure out how to do it for my wedding this year!

Any idea where in Athens the reception took place? It looks so rustic!

thanks y’all! our wedding day was a truly magical day, i owe so many thank you’s to the many friends and family members that made it happen and rinne allen for documenting all of the little details.

i wanted to answer a couple of questions that were asked…
NAPKINS: i did indeed make them using spray paint and muslin. i then washed them and ironed them after being sprayed. if you use a thin coat of paint it works great! and now i use them for gift wrap.

PILLOW: the ring bearer pillow is made my my lovely friend llubav. she is amazing and i recommend her to everyone!! llubav.com

LOCATION: the reception and wedding was at the brickhouse (http://www.lamarwood.com/weddings_and_events)
they do rent out the space for weddings and events.

CAKES: the cakes were made by the Grit vegetarian restaurant. they were all vegan too!

Kristen,
Your wedding was absolutely beautiful!

One question about the napkins. I would love to do this idea for my own wedding, but I am having a hard time finding doilies that aren’t solid in the middle (like ones that go under a cake). Where did you get the ones that have the design all the way through?

Thanks!
