I Hear Wedding Bells Springing

Matthew and I attended a wedding a few weeks ago, and, because I'm such a DIY junkie, I had to share some of the great DIY touches this bride and groom incorporated on their big day.

As guest walked in, they were greeted with a welcome sign made from an old window.



As you continued to walk in, you couldn't help but notice their bikes lying against the same tree the welcome sign was hanging.  If you knew the couple, you would know they ride their bikes everywhere.  They even had them when they got engaged. :]  


The alter was a vintage desk with flowers and the elements for communion.  The red wall created a nice backdrop, and drew your eye up to the hanging hydrangeas in glass jars and jute twine.  The scene was complete by a wall of colorful streamers that blew in the afternoon wind.



The beautiful bride and her papa.

Once the ceremony began, the bride and groom partook in communion. After that, they had the bridesmaids and groomsmen serve the guests as they watched.  I loved this idea!




The exit


I LOVE these boutonnieres! 
They are so unique, and because they aren't perishable like flowers, the guys can hang on to them as a keepsake.



The reception was so intimate and cozy.  White lights were strung across wooden beams and candles in glass jars were draped over tables. 


Love the Mr. & Mrs. sign



The favors were awesome. Homemade strawberry jam and honey, plus a honeycomb stick with a personalized tag.  Too cute.  They also had pictures on the tables of each of them growing up, and we passed them around from table to table.  That was so fun.


We had a great time!


Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Springs!

DIY: Recent Projects

I haven't updated you in while and for that I apologize.  These past few weeks have been stressful, to say the least.  Now I know why people have longer engagements! Planning a wedding in four months is tough, especially because I am doing so much of it myself.  But on the other hand, all of the DIY projects have made this experience so enjoyable...even if they are time consuming.

 I want to share some projects with you that I finished up this weekend.  The first is the flower girl basket.  I bought a darling pink basket at the Goodwill for $3, some moss at Michael's for about $5, and added a scrap of lace I had left over from my Love Bird project.  Total cost: $8



My next project was the guestbook.  I didn't want the traditional guestbook because I knew I would never look at it again.  When I came across the Thumb Print guestbook, I  fell in love with the idea.  This way I will be able to hang it up in our home, and enjoy it every day.  I got my inspiration from CottageCreekArts on Etsy, who incorporated the love birds theme into the painting.  I would have bought the painting from them, but the price tag was a bit too high for my budget.  For a canvas, brushes, ink, pen, and paint, the total cost: $40


My third project was the masks for the photo booth.  I bought plain plastic masks and feathers at Michaels.  All it needed was a little time and some hot glue, and vuala :]  Total cost: $6
