A Special Wedding Card

Hi everyone.  Today I'm showing you the wedding card I made for my son Evan and his new bride, Nikki.  I used Nikki's wedding bouquet as my inspiration for this card.  I included her favorite flower (orange gerbera daisy) along with soft yellow hydrangea blooms and twine (which she used to tie her bouquet together).  I printed the sentiment on my computer in brown ink to match the center of the gerbera daisy.

Here's a close-up of the card:

And here's a picture of Nikki's bouquet, which was the inspiration for the card:

You'll notice there are four picture charms dangling from her bouquet.  Evan also had four picture charms pinned to his shirt.  They wanted to honor loved ones who have passed and weren't able to be there for their special day.  Nikki had pictures of her two grandmothers, Evan's Auntie Nancy and Evan's Auntie Moe.  Evan had pictures of his two grandfathers, Nikki's grandfather and Evan's Uncle Dave.  It was a very special way of including them and it brought tears to my eyes.
