On Saturday we celebrated Jacob Reardon , an artist, a graduate, and a creator and every detail of his graduation celebration reflected that. ๐จ ๐ผ๏ธ๐๏ธ (Unfortunately, I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted but that's ok!)
For the tables, we paired black linens with artist-inspired touches, using canvases as the foundation (we had to turn them upside down because of the wind), recycled soup cans filled with colored pencils and art tools, and simple white flowers to complete the look.
๐ผ๏ธ One of my favorite elements was the custom three-panel display showcasing Jacob's artwork, creating his very own mini art gallery. His talent deserved to be celebrated just as much as his academic accomplishments. ๐ผ๏ธ
Guests were also invited to sign a sketchbook and leave words of encouragement, memories, and well wishes for the graduate. ๐๏ธ๐
A huge shout-out to Ben Heiden for helping with every part of this setup. From the big tasks to the smallest details, his support makes it possible for me to do what I love. I truly couldn't do my dream job without him, and I'm so grateful to have him by my side. After a migraine took me out, he stepped in (as always) and packed up my items.
Congratulations, Jacob! Your creativity, hard work, and vision are sure to take you far. ๐๐๏ธ
