plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

I’m sure you all know how much I love the idea of using old family photos (particularly old wedding photos) and displaying them at your ceremony or reception.  Not all of you are going to be able to have big canvas prints made and have them displayed in your venues.  For that reason, I introduce you to this idea!


Project 10K Wedding

Now, if you’re not the outdoors-y or backyard type, you can recreate the same idea using different elements, like large wooden dowels, metal poles. You can even dress up the poles, or the stands. And, once you have it created to your liking, you can have it placed in the entry way of your reception venue, so guests have something to mingle over during your cocktail hour.

  1. Oh, I love it! We’re planning on doing a clothesline of pictures instead of a slideshow, and we can’t hang anything on the walls, so this is perfect, thanks for the inspiration!

    @Stacy Marie Glad I could help! I love the idea of displaying family photos at the wedding!

  3. I am considering putting the string directly to the wall to achieve this same look. We will see how that goes!

  4. this is the cutest. I want this in my house.

  5. Love the idea of keeping it after the wedding. I have dug out some beauties since we got engaged. I cannot wait to display them all.
