Wine Cork Escort Cards

I stole this idea right off the Weddingbee DIY! The photo had been in my inspiration folder long before I became a bee, but didn't become reality until 2 weeks before the wedding.

A family friend of Mr. B's owns a winery in Mendocino County and was kind enough to donate the corks for this project.



























I hot glued 2 corks together and tied a 10"purple satin ribbon around the pair. 250 corks later, those babies looked like this:



























I created the escort cards on my Mac and the tables were named after villages in Guam. Luckily there were enough villages for 16 tables!























Mom and Dad Barrettes printed out all the escort cards onto thick cardstock and brought them to me in Napa. I didn't see the final result until after the ceremony, but was so proud to see my project come to life!

What favorite idea did you re-create from Weddingbee? Did your reality turn out as good as your inspiration?
