Wedding Chalkboards...

 I love chalkboards and knew I

wanted to incorporate them into

Bekah and Cameron's Wedding.

 We used this first one to Welcome their guests...

 

 

The next Chalkboard was made

 from an old headboard.

We sat this one outside of the reception 

venue to direct traffic for parking.

At the reception

 we used this dresser that we re-purposed 

for their guest book table...

 Next to the dresser we used a 

wicker chair and a basket 

as an easel for the this chalkboard...

that way it was eye level for 

the kids to help themselves to 

a box crayons and a coloring book.

 The gift table was next 

to this chalkboard.

This one was made from 

an old cupboard door.

 This is a huge chalkboard about 5' x 2 1/2'

that I borrowed from my kitchen.

It used to be an ugly picture so I painted 

over the canvas with black paint.

I change it out for all the seasons in my home.

I repainted the frame from red to aqua 

and glazed it with charcoal glaze.

It made the perfect menu board...

 of course, after dinner there was dancing...

 Rebekah and Cameron wanted to have an 

Old fashioned soda pop bar....

It was a huge hit with young and old!

 My husband attached a newel post 

(that I picked up at the Re-store) 

to a sturdy base for me. It got 

aquafied and we attached

 a pop opener. We propped 

the next chalkboard right 

at the base of the post.

 All the Soda looked cool 

lit up from underneath

the ice tub...

 Rebekah and Cameron

looked pretty cool themselves!

Now to let you in on a secret about 

all the chalkboards.

Not one of them was a true 

chalkboard...

All the small ones were poster

 board or foam board 

popped in the frame or held

 in place with spray

adhesive. We wanted chalkboards

 but didn't want

a chalky mess, so 

I actually just used a white

paint pen. 

 We are going to be renting out 

wedding furniture as a side to

our furniture business. I wanted

 to be able to offer chalk

boards also.

This option allows me to make

changes easily.

I can use regular chalk

 with it as well!
