Last summer when I was looking through my photographer's work, I saw these shots and knew I totally wanted to do something like this as well. It fits me because when I was five-years-old, I attended my uncle's wedding and they could not get me off the dance floor. Many years later, I am still the same way, so I love this idea of having comfy shoes for your guests. So tonight I headed over to Hobby Lobby which was having a sale on flip-flops! I picked up about 12 brown and 12 fushia flip-flops. They are not the best quality but for a $1 each - I can't complain about the price. However, I started having buyer's remorse when I was at the counter and the woman behind me asked what I would be doing with them. I told her and she did the "oh wow." weird look. I raced home and thought maybe this was a stupid idea. Then I saw this shot and said screw it - I am so doing this.
Even though it has been done before and is really not new - I loved doing the wine cork escort cards because of our venue. I thought this would be a pretty easy project. Yes a little time consuming, but definitely something I could do. I picked up a mini knife cutter and then drank a couple glasses of different wine last night to add to my collection of corks. I had found directions where you cut 1/4 of the cork so it will lay down (and not roll) and then make another slice where you put the escort card. Ok so here comes the part where I would not make a DIY Bride. On the first cork, I sliced my thumb...badly. So badly that I bled all over the place. Despite all the blood, I kept working and made about five. They look good, but unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my project because of this new friend. 
She is our new puppy and while I was away, she decided to nab each of the wine corks and stash them in a hiding place...yeah, I think she even smiled for the camera.
