We didn't want anything too fussy at our cocktail hour so I enlisted the help of my first graders :) I had each one of my students create an art piece about love, friendship, weddings or just happiness in general. I then spray adhered their art work to foam board and cut them out with an exacto knife. I then placed them in little wire easels from Michael's and then they were masterpieces! Jay and Melissa from Golden Gate added very simple floral centerpieces to give the tables some color. They wrapped yellow calla lilies inside fish bowls for something funky and fun.

I also scored some great matches and napkins on sale from The Knot! They added some nice color to our bars :)

Signature Cocktail: We had an open bar the whole wedding but we wanted something fun that was all ours. We created a Martini and entitled it the Carpentini using our last name. It was orange, the hubs' favorite color and such a hit! Everyone loved it!
