The color inspiration for this next project came
from my daughter Rebekah wearing
aqua shoes and having aqua tulle on her petticoat.
We wanted to add pops of aqua to the decor.
Rebekah and Cameron
wanted to do something different
for the backdrops at the wedding.
So we decided old doors were
the way to go...
the way to go...
We were able to purchase some cool
old interior barn doors from a neighbor.
I then added a coat of our
favorite aqua color, distressed
and glazed them...
We added some cool hardware
and finally hinged them
together to create a back drop.
We then paired it with an antique table to
be used for the wedding cake.
This next set of doors were
from a privacy screen that
I have had for years.
It got the same treatment
of aqua paint and glaze.
We used it behind the guest book
dresser at the church....
The screen also made a cute photo prop for
their amazing photographer, Gloria Avina.
They didn't want to see each other
before the ceremony but were
able to have a special moment to connect
from opposite sides of the privacy screen.
We attached sconces and a chandelier at the top
for the reception.
Another talented friend and former babysitter
of all of our kids, made the yummy wedding cake.
I made paper flowers and a wooden topper,
painted purple to finish the cake.
We think the door backdrops
turned out fun, and added to
an already perfect celebration!

WOW! First, I love that your daughter had aqua tulle and shoes. What a brilliant incorporation of 'something blue'. And, it shows that she has a sense of humor and style. What a beautiful bride. She must get her style from her momma because this idea is BRILLIANT. I love that you made those doors into a backdrop for pictures. Really, REALLY well done.

Amazing! The dark glaze really took these doors to the next level. They totally are eye-catching! Would make a great headboard for a bed too!
