{ENCHANTED FOREST} wedding!

Sarah and Mickey got married on a boat in the afternoon on Sunday August 22!
They asked me to do their wedding deco's because I like making inside look like outsides! Working at Stonefly where the reception was held, and all their amazing helpers made it easy!
SARAH and MICKEY'S forest reception
We turned Stonefly into an ENCHANTED FOREST with crepe paper, cloth and recycled packaging!

It took a long time, but we covered all the pre-existing artwork and hung a photobooth!

Plus freehand painted trees on the all windows!

The trees on the windows looked different in all kinds of light!
