It's the sport of kings, better than diamond rings....FOOTBALL!

The BG girls have had football on the brain for the last few days. Not because we're going through withdrawals that the season is over or because we are such die hard fans that we discuss whether or not we think Favre is really "done with football" this time.




Not quite! The reason, of course, has to do with one of our fabulous brides! In front of family and friends, and over the course of several days worth of festivities this weekend, Victoria and Adam will finally say their I Do's in Palm Desert.


Victoria was referred to us by her cousin, whose wedding invitation suite we created several years ago. Over coffee Victoria meticulously told us her vision for their big day and also learned that she and Adam are HUGE San Francisco 49ers fans. SO HUGE that they wanted to incorporate the 49ers into their wedding accessories!! Ummmmmm....what's Coco Chanel's famous saying? "A girl should be two things, classy and fabulous." Victoria was definitely both of those things, so we created classy and fabulous wedding accessories for their wedding day that coordinated with their beautiful wedding invitations and still boasted their love for the 49ers.

They wanted to use their favorite players and jersey numbers to name their guest tables at the reception; Jerry Rice #80, Joe Montana #16, Steve Young #8, etc.


We created tented table names using ecru shimmer card stock and printed the player's name and jersey number in deep amethyst. Their monogram was used as well to tie in with their other accessories.





Additionally they wanted to coordinate their escort cards with the football theme so....we created football shaped escort cards with guest names and table numbers, aka jersey numbers. The ecru shimmer card stock and amethyst ink was used again. And our handy dandy new die cut machine helped us with the football shaped cards.


Their florist created a football field out of wheat grass and mini goal posts to hold each football escort card. Their guests will surely do a sack dance when they see this ode to their favorite team! We can't wait to see the photos from their wedding as I'm sure this will be one piece the photographer will not miss shooting!!

The BG girls dedicate the following song and dance to Victoria and Adam and wish them the very best in their new life together! Feel free to sing along...........the BG girls have a new song to add to their soundtrack!!

And a lil' tidbit for you young'uns.....the blond is Goldie Hawn- otherwise known as the beautiful Kate Hudson's mom!!






XO,


BG Girl
