    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: 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…

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…

    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…

    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…
