LumberJack & Jill

As a couples shower, I wanted it to not only be feminine and dainty, but have a strong masculine presence as well. In order to do that I incorporated plaids and wildflower prints, "manly" bbq foods (burgers, baked beans, corn on the cob, etc.) in small packages (sliders, tiny baked bean pots, etc.). I had their engagement photographer take profile shots of the couple and using a few old frames from Goodwill, I turned them into silhouettes. The couple also chose to forego receiving gifts and rather have their guests give to an orphanage...so I set up a “giving tree” and had a photobooth as the main source of entertainment rather than the gift opening. Finally, I put together little brown bags with all of the ingredients to create a s’more with just a simple label that read “s’more love” and on the backside the couples’ wedding date.
