Karins Kottage Happenings

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the gorgeous wedding my daughter, sweet friend Haylee, my sister, and I recently put together. It turned out absolutely stunning! We spent the day before making 13 eucalyptus garlands, which were a first for me.

Thanks to multiple YouTube videos, I figured it out, and they turned out beautifully with white roses tucked in.

For the food, the bride’s family prepped mini charcuterie cups with skewers of salami, cheese, and donuts, along with grapes hanging off the front. We used some of my white 2-tiered trays to display the charcuterie cups.

Remember I made these charcuterie cups for my niece’s baby shower that you can see here.

I’ll be sharing more about this wedding when I get the photos back from the photographer.
