Wow, I can’t believe I have passed the 1 year mark before mine and Kyle’s 2014 wedding! I’m pumped and so excited to get back into planning mode! I kicked started the one year countdown by re-asking my friends to be my bridesmaids. I didn’t do
Since my last few posts ended up being… a little bit more controversial than I expected, I’m going with something safe this week; a tutorial on the diy pinwheels that I’m using as decoration in the church where we’re getting married. I was having a hard
Well, I did it. I DIY’d. The bride who only planned to DIY her cake. But I didn’t do it alone! Oh, no! I enlisted the help of my maid of honor/BFF, and, eventually, my fiance. A few weeks back, while looking for wedding decor inspiration
In a past, not too long ago life, I used to scrapbook. For whatever reason, I lost interest and haven’t scrapped in a long time. During that time I created quite a few books. Where are they now? In a box in the closet somewhere, only

Yes, another DIY project. One boutonniere is included with our wedding package, but I wanted to have something for the dads and best man. And then, when I started making them, I could not stop! So now I have more than necessary, but that is okay;
Happy Spring, lovelies! It’s Elizabeth from Stockroom Vintage back to share the latest DIY project I created for Old Time Pottery–this one is perfect for spring and summer brides! I’m madly in love with terrariums. You say moss and mini-glass vessels, and I’m there! These tiny
For our at-home-reception, in Alberta, I really, really, really want a dessert table, with treats made by me from recipes passed down from the moms and grandmas on both sides of the family. I do not know if I can do that yet (the caterer has
Right after I got engaged and started scouring Etsy & Pinterest for ideas and inspiration, I decided that I wanted an alternative to a guestbook. I found the idea of keeping a book with signatures in it a little too reminiscent of an autograph book that
I told you all my wedding was going to be DIY heavy! And rightfully so because I watched my little budget explode over the past week, so I have very little room to spare. Next on our planning agenda is to start looking for bakeries to

An early project I took on was wrist corsages. The wedding packages we were looking at from our resort included a bride’s bouquet and groom’s boutonniere, and you could pay extra for bridesmaid bouquets and so on. Pay extra? I think not! I already knew that I
