By Bowman: Making a friends perfect day just right; Wedding Day

A great friend was getting married and asked for few personal touches so we got to work.

First was a sign needed for assisting the crowd to know where to go for the ceremony and where to go for the reception.

As things turned out, all the supplies needed were already in our shed and wood scraps. A few cuts with the saw to angle the stake and point the "arrows".

Then the wood was stained

The sizing of the letters took a few tries but the biggest time suck was cutting them all out. Then some simple deco pauge and a final coat of lacquer.

The final step, assembly!

The second request took some more planning an figuring out. We had a bamboo "curtain" that matched the decor and idea she had. We took several sticks to construct the 4 legs

Then the top was constructed

If you can't figure out what it's suppose to be, you wouldn't be the only one!

The assembly and formation of it, would have to wait till the wedding day.

A fabric in her colors and ribbon in another were purchased for finishings.

4 iron posts we had not yet found a project for were brought along for stabilizing and to hold decorative flower accents.

With the help of a few friends, assembly began about an hour before the ceremony. We were too busy to take pics of the assembly, but the end result is a pretty spectacular chuppah!

And all for an amazing couples special day!
