Timmy and Shannon Wed: Details and DIY

Timmy is a graphic designer, so when it came to wedding details he and Shannon were a true DIY bride and groom.

All of the wedding details began with a logo of sorts combining a T and an S:Timmy and Shannon's aisle runner

The T and S designs with the antlers and swan were combined into a heart that Timmy had engraved into his wedding band.
The programs also designed and made by the couple.

Their favors, which I assume were inspired by Mrs. Penguin, were boxes filled with candy, coasters and a note to share photos on Flickr.

Also on the tables were velum wrapped votive candles made by the couple:

The tables were named after bridges in New York and Pittsburgh. The signs, of course, were also made and designed by the couple:

For the escort cards Timmy and Shannon made a huge board with ribbon to hold the cards. Interspersed within the cards were wedding photos of their family:
During the cocktail hour, after guests found their card, they were instructed to take a Polaroid of themselves and tape it to the spot where their card used to be.
Everyone really seemed to have a blast with the photos.
And by the end of the night the board was completely filled:

Timmy and Shannon provided the alcohol served by their caterer. They had these adorable signs described the alcohol content of the different beers on hand:
They even made napkins with the logos on them, like several bees have shown us in the past.

The cake was an Almond Torte, the delicious specialty of Prentl's Bakery in Pittsburgh.

The room was stunning. The tables were draped with black cloths and the addition of the all the little details made it really pretty and personal.

Are you doing any of these projects for your wedding?
