Is your dog really a dapper gent just waiting to express himself? Then this hilarious dog toy may be just the thing to let him show his true nature! If you don’t have a canine friend to mock, perhaps try our human version – fun for kids and adults alike! Made by Because We Can for Eunice and Daniel’s wedding, these mustaches are perfect for the dapper gent in all of us.

Eunice and Daniel wanted their music to reflect the rustic surroundings of their wedding venue, so local bluegrass band Jimbo Trout and the Fishpeople fit the bill perfectly. They welcomed guests as they arrived to the ceremony, and later played along with the square dance caller after dinner. They even got the father of the bride (below) to join them on mandolin!

Wilbur Hot Springs (the location of Eunice and Daniel’s wedding) is a 20-room historic hotel, built in 1915, surrounded by an 1800-acre private nature preserve, and includes soothing natural hot springs. Wilbur is run 100% off the grid, powered entirely by solar panels and propane. This beautiful and serene location was the perfect spot for the wedding – the hotel could house the couples family and friends, and the vast surrounding fields were perfect to set up a brightly painted stage, rustic farm benches and enormous white tent. Wilbur is located about three hours northeast of San Francisco and is a perfect stop for a relaxing weekend of hiking, soaking in the hot springs and good ol’ R&R!

More details from Eunice and Daniel’s wedding! Eunice embellished her Steve Madden flats with vintage shoe clips found at the Alameda flea market, one of our favorite sources for vintage ephemera in the bay area. She also purchased woodland animal brooches from Poodle Breath for her bridesmaids.

We’ve gotten so many comments about Eunice’s fabulous wedding dress! She came up with the original design of her dress and made a sketch with a rough idea of what she was looking for.

She then handed the sketches off to Iain Bartlett (also know as H!L UK Sales manager), trusting him implicitly to turn them into the fabulous concoction that he came up with. He hand-stitched all those ruffles on (literally hundreds), and made a beautiful petticoat from raw silk and this amazing fabric made of bits of netting — it looked like the under skirt was trimmed in feathers.

Stunning!

In addition to stationery, playing cards, custom stage and a multitude of other items, Eunice also designed a bunch of smaller pieces that served to tie her wedding together, including the signage and labels for slippers (above) and packages for confetti (below).

A custom wine label featured two stags and a cheeky name.

Drink flags added color to cocktails.

Fun labels helped identify unique condiments on the dinner table.

A cute sign indicated the couples signature cocktail (you can find the recipe here!).

Eunice also designed labels for popcorn boxes and donut holes – yum!

Both the donut hole labels and slipper labels are currently available as free downloads on our website – check them out! We’d love to see your photos if you make your own!!

We’ve gotten a number of inquiries about the playing cards from Eunice and Daniel’s wedding. Designed by Eunice, they were given out as favors for wedding guests. There are a handful left and we’ve put them up for sale on our website. Perfect for a rousing match of Go Fish! Available here.

One of the most unique elements of Eunice and Daniel’s wedding was their adorable cake topper (featured on the Martha Stewart show!). Lian of Publique Living took the illustration of the couple from their save the date poster and laser cut it out of basswood. It was then stained a deep indigo with calligraphy ink, and mounted onto a styrofoam base covered in a pale green metallic crepe paper and trimmed with two tones of fuchsia grosgrain ribbon. The arch was created using floral wire, crepe paper, and tiny crepe paper flowers. The actual cake was made by Kelly Zubal of Inticing Creations.
