Wedding Notes: A Message from the Owlery

{Location: San Diego & Irvine}

Charlene and I have started creating the save the dates for their wedding. She and Enrique decided on going along with their quaint, rustic & old world theme (not to mention they both have a love for this kind, feathered friend)...so, their save the dates are going to be hand made owls! Charlene got inspired by something she saw from a DIY tutorial blog. We're definitely putting our twist on it though. We wanted to use different kinds of fabric that matched the theme and give it a raw, organic look....but also an endearing one too! Come on...owls? So cute :)

So far, we're working on the individual pieces of the owl: left & right wings and the body/head. Eventually, we're going to attach the wings on each side of the owl, so that they open and close to reveal the inner part.

We got a little help from Joann (one of the bridesmaids), our good friend Jen and of course Enrique helped too! Charlene mainly did the sewing and I worked on the owl templates and fabric cutting. Tedious work? Yes. Is it all worth it? Most definitely YES. Like I said before, Charlene and I are all about the details.

In the end, each owl will be uniquely its own kind! No two owls alike. Will they be perfect little cookie cutter owls? Heck no. Little imperfections are what make things memorable and stand out :)
