Fun idea!

Behind the Scenes

Looking for something new and fun to do for a really different centerpiece?  We came across this cool idea and wanted to share it with you!  Check it out:

If you’re throwing a party for someone’s anniversary or birthday, the guest of honor will shine with a set of photo frame lanterns. They consist of three hinged photo frames set around votive candles. The black-and-white photos are printed onto ecru-colored vellum paper, which is translucent enough for the images to be visible by candlelight.

Here’s the Photo Centerpiece “How-To”:
-Disassemble three like-sized frames, setting aside their fronts and discarding their backings. 
-Paint or stain wooden frames desired color; let dry.
-Upload or scan photographs into a computer.
-With editing software, make the images black and white and resize them to fit your frames.
-Print them onto vellum paper with an ink-jet printer.
-Slip the images into the frames.
-Using cloth tape, hinge frames together to form a triangle.
-Stand frames around a candle in a protective glass holder.

Pretty neat, huh?

Nice to meet you! I’m a pint-sized (frequently caffeinated) fireball of energy, and building genuine connections is at the heart of everything I do. One of the most meaningful parts of what we do is watching our couples go from “I do” to starting families, then returning for newborn and family photography, and even branding sessions as their lives and businesses grow. Being part of every season of your story is truly the heart of what we do.
