Details, Details -- the Goodwill Makeover

For the most part, I'd say we're pretty much done with all our wedding tasks except the flowers, delivering things to venues and a few minor details.

Over the last few months, I've been picking up random silver platters and picture frames at Goodwill with no real idea of how to use them. We're doing a modern-vintage wedding, so I figured I could use these pieces somewhere.

I finally found a place for them in our wedding. Behold...

I painted the silver trays and old picture frames yellow and grey, then put scrap fabric and paper on top of them. We're going to use them on our breakfast bar.

I'm using one of the small spare trays for the "guestbook" station. I covered an old drinking glass with some scrap fabric from the ring bearers tie and added an extra pom to finish the look.

Lastly, I had Mr. Joey spray paint a few bigger frames which I used as the seating chart. Again, I covered the back with scrap fabric and the the yellow paper is actually file folders I found in the recycling bin at work. The were the perfect color and they were free, so I thought why not.

I think all together, I spent about $8-10 on the trays, $1 on the large seating chart frame and$3 on the fancy Japanese black and white paper. I had the spray paint, fabric and tissue paper leftover from other projects. The other frames I got from friends. They were going to throw them out, so I rescued them.

Did you give any throw aways new life and use them in your wedding?
