This is Poipu beach on Kauai, HI. We took this photograph while we were there last year, and through the magic of photoshop, surprise! It looks vintage!!
What do I plan on doing with a bunch of faded photographs, you may ask? Well, dear reader, let me tell you. We loved the idea of naming our tables instead of using table numbers. That way, no one feels like they are at the "leftover table", and it adds a bit of interest. We are using names of places we have visited that hold meaning to us in some way. For example, we spent a week on Poipu beach. We will also be using 3 Mile (where we got engaged), and multiple other locations that we haven't thought of yet!
As for how to let the guests easily locate their tables, we are going to create "vintage postcards". After using photoshop on each picture, we will print them out and then stick them to brown cardstock. On the other side of the cardstock, I have found some lovely deep pink polka dot cardstock that has words written on it in lightly visible cursive, made to look like someone was writing a postcard. Over this cardstock we will place small plaquards that state the name of the table in a fancy, yet readable, script.
So far this is quite a fun project, and I am looking forward to many more to come! If anyone would like to know how I created these photographs, please feel free to leave a comment or email me and I will be happy to forward the directions along!
