First things First

How do you mix Vintage Country with Superheros?

This is how:

I’m a self-proclaimed DIY expert, I have a minor in graphic design, and love all things crafty.  So I’ve decided I want the really pretty Vintage Country wedding, with the fun Superhero twist!

These are the superhero touches we will be adding to our wedding, to make it more fun, and not over the top!

Belt Buckles & Garters

Each of the groomsmen will be dressed in white shirts, dark jeans, boots and possibly a hat (we are still debating on that) Every where on Pinterest you see the superhero shirts under their tux’s, but I’m afraid that if you don’t wear a jacket, that brightly colored shirt will show through and ruin all of my pictures.  So I’m keeping with the country and as part of our groomsmen gifts giving each of them a belt buckle with the superhero we choose for them.

Also because each of the superhero’s I picked for the girls are sexy but classy, we are doing garters, it’ll be fun incognito, but will still get good pictures from it.

The Asking to be in the Bridal Party

I’m doing something very special for this, so I’ll have an awesome post after its officially done, even though everyone knows who is in the bridal party so far.  But we are including their superhero shirt in the package, so they can dress up when they want, and for the rehearsal dinner. Here are the ones we got for Mr. & I.  (His happened to come with a mask too!)

Love these shirts! You should’ve seen me opening the packages, I was like a kid at Christmas.  I had to have mine custom made, because SHOCKER, they don’t make a Venus de Milo Ninja Turtle Shirt.  I found an awesome artist on Redbubble.com.  He made is just for me.  I’m so happy with the quality of it. I’ll definitely buy from them again if need be.

Coloring Book

Mr. has a huge family with tons of kids, so I figured doing an adult only reception was out of the question. Plus we are having such a fun wedding theme I figured we should include them!  I made a coloring book, that includes the entire wedding party, parents, and activities.  I will have crayons and even badges for them to make their own superhero.

Flowers

Yes, I know you’re thinking I’m crazy at this point! But because this is a DIY wedding and I want to include as much of this stuff as possible, I’m going to make paper flowers.  Mostly corals but also including comic book & tea soaked book pages!  They will be fun and lots of pictures to come. I also know this is going to take forever, but I have a small army already gathering, and he has tons of nieces.

Premixed Cocktails

I’m cheap, and on a very tight budget.  We are doing premixed cocktails in mason jars that are all superhero themed! I haven’t figured out the drinks yes, so any suggestions are always welcomed!

Cake & Cupcakes

One of two of our cakes will of course have Venus and Optimus on it, but we are also planning on having some hero themed topper on the cupcakes.  Yes I’m also having a very traditional, pretty wedding cake as well!

Meet the Bridal Party

Instead of programs we are doing a large program board & a Meet the Bridal Party Board.  On this each person will be listed as their super hero!

I’m sure there is more! and Things will be changed and tweaked before July. But this is a start and it’s a great way to get my ideas out there!
