Table Names with a Super Twist

Okay, so normally I try to blog weddings in the order they happened, but for selfish and boring reasons not worth explaining, we're gonna jump in the TARDIS and skip ahead to October for JUST a tick. {Sorry, this post has me totally nerding out...}

Cassie and Roy came to me with my favoritest kind of problem: we have this amazing idea but we're not sure how to pull it off and still make it feel "wedding-y." They are both huge comic book fans, and make sure you get that right, NOT comic book MOVIE fans... since most of my knowledge is based on bad Hollywood interpretations of the comic books, there was quite a bit of schooling to be had on my part. 
Cassie and Roy wanted their table names to be super heroes, without feeling like a kid's birthday party. So their idea? Use the heroes' alias last names, coupled with a graphic/picture/illustration of something that would HINT at their superhero identity. And... okay, enough talking, just look at these amazing photos by Dawn M. Gibson Photography:

Each superhero alias got a hand drawn illustration to hint at who they were, all supplied by Cassie and Roy {this is where the schooling came in.} The name and drawing were then used on the table cards, for each table, and on each place card with the guests' names.

Um, so not only was it awesome, but it also turned into a guessing game for the guests. So cool. I love these so much, Cassie and Roy, thank you again for letting me create something so unique to you and your day. From what I saw of the rest of the photos it was a perfect, happy, gorgeous day for two amazing people.
