How to make antiqued paper for your historical or fantasy wedding

We’re getting married next month and having a pirate-themed wedding. Any bits of paper we needed (whether invitations, signs, or treasure-hunt clues) I decided to make look old and pirate-y.

I wanted our wedding to be an adventure.

We decided to do both! Here’s our magical Middle-earth elopement…

Middle-earth came to central California at this Middle-earth wedding. The guests’ costumes alone are slaying us with the level of detail!
