Last year, I was thrilled to feature an amazing black and white quilled wedding certificate by paper filigrée artist Ann Martin.  Today I’m thrilled to welcome Ann back with another stunning wedding certificate!  The bride and groom were married last week in the Jurassic Park section of Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.  Given the jungle-like atmosphere of the theme park, the couple asked for autumn colors, leaves, mushrooms, birds – even a few small forest animals!
Ann took on the challenge of creating a non-traditional wedding certificate design for a very unique wedding. Â The couple was thrilled with the result, which includes acorns, an owl, blue jay, squirrel, and even a tiny mouse. Â Riva Brown of Living Letters Studio did the lovely calligraphy in dark brown ink.
The certificate will be signed by the bride and groom, as well as the wedding guests as a sign of support for the couple in their marriage. Â Wedding certificates can be a lovely alternative as a wedding guest book, and of course can be framed and displayed at home after the wedding.
A bit of background from Ann on the art of paper quilling:  Paper quilling is a rolled paper technique that originated several hundred years ago in Europe.  As a DIY aspect, I encourage brides-to-be to quill their own certificates and have posted quite a few tutorials on my blog.  Place cards and favor boxes can be beautifully accented with just a few quilled elements.
So pretty! Â Ann has so much more beautiful paper quilling examples over on her blog, which you can check out right here! Â Thanks Ann!
