    Wedding DIY: Coloring Book Favors

    Welcome back to my blog and yet ANOTHER wedding post 🙂 I hinted about this one in the last DIY post about our centerpieces – this one is all about the activity/coloring books we created as our favors! Just off to the side there – complete with packs of colored pencils! These activity books were pretty much entirely my mom’s idea. I got lots of her input for this post 🙂 These little activity books were very much just a fun, silly idea that kind of took on a mind of their own. I think they were a super cute…

    Wedding DIY: Centerpieces

    Surprise surprise it’s another wedding post today! I know there have been a LOT lately (aka it’s pretty much all I’ve been writing about) but I really want to finish up most of my DIY posts before I get on to the next huge and exciting blog project which will be our honeymoon! Today I’m talking all about our centerpieces. This post should actually be pretty straightforward because our centerpieces were actually one of the easiest things to put together… once we had an idea and all the necessary pieces. So here’s how it went. We had been floating around ideas…

    Wedding DIY: Programs

    Welcome to my third (!) post about DIY paper products for our wedding! I previously covered our signage and table numbers/escort cards, and today I’m going to show how I made our programs. Spoiler: it’s a lot of borrowing ideas and concepts from other people on the internet haha I previously showed a sneak peek of our programs in my pre-wedding post when we were one month out from the big day. As I mentioned in that post, we knew that we wanted an infographic-style program that was simple, informative, and fun. These were some examples I shared in that…

    Wedding DIY: Sola Flowers

    Hi and welcome to another wedding post! This is going to be a big one – today we’re talking about how we made the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for my wedding from sola flowers! And this one’s a little different because… this post was written by my mom!! That’s me and my wonderful mother!! She was the mastermind behind the sola flowers, so I wanted to get her input before writing anything…and then I decided it would be easier to just let her tell the whole story rather than having me retell it. A little background first: our flowers were…

    Wedding DIY: Wedding Signs

    Welcome back to another DIY wedding post! Last time I wrote about how I made our FastPass inspired table numbers and escort cards. Continuing on the train of paper products, today I’m going to tell you all about how I made most of the signage for our wedding! Honestly, this was some of the easiest DIY we did for the wedding. Once I was confident in my ability to photoshop some FastPasses, I knew that some simple signage would be super easy. And it was! First, I made a list of all the signs we would need and what sizes…

    Wedding DIY: FastPass Table Numbers

    I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t consider our wedding to be a “DIY wedding” until I realized how many things we ACTUALLY made ourselves. I think one of the easiest things to DIY for a wedding is paper products. If you have any experience with graphic design (like I do, from all the livejournal icon contests I entered in the mid 2000s), photoshop, and access to a nice printer, you can do a lot of it yourself. The main reason I decided to design a lot of our stuff myself is because I had an image in my head of…

    Wedding Week Preparations & DIYs!

    We’re going a bit out of order here on our wedding posts but who really cares anyway? Today I’m writing all about the last minute preparations and DIYs that we did the week of the wedding! This will basically be a catch-all for the little DIY things we did that don’t really warrant their own post, but I wanted to write about somewhere anyway. My parents drove down to Florida a few days before the wedding, and with them came all of the DIY things that they had been working on at home. My mom already wrote a separate post…

    DIYing My Wedding Shoes

    We are now under the 3 month mark for our wedding and I am decidedly beginning to panic..but within reason. As with many other aspects of the wedding, I had no idea what I wanted when it came to my wedding shoes. Heels or flats? Solid or a print? Sparkly or…just kidding, they were always going to be sparkly. I thought that maybe I wanted to have two pairs of shoes – one heels, and one flats, so I could wear the heels to the ceremony and the flats for the rest of the night. But wedding shoes can be…

    Where We Got EVERYTHING For Our Wedding

    Today’s 4 months since our big day and I’m actually nearing the end of my wedding content here on the blog! Welcome back to yet another wedding post – and this will be a big one. To go along with all my planning pages, I figured I would put together a list of absolutely EVERYTHING from our wedding – all our resources, where we bought stuff, and everything in between. It’s something I would have found helpful in planning our wedding and I also just want to share and show appreciation for everything and everyone involved. So…here’s the scoop! Here’s…

    DIY Bridesmaid Emergency Kits

    If you’ve done any wedding planning or research, I’m sure one of the things you’ve come across has been some kind of list or “emergency kit” of items the bridesmaids & bride should have on the wedding day. I know I saw them all over Pinterest in my planning. There’s a lot of cute ones you can buy – this one has been a popular choice to pop up in my searches a lot: Or, if you’re like me and remember that you wanted to make bags for your bridesmaids like a week before the wedding……you can make your own! I…
