I made my own Save the Dates (and Derek helped) and I am SO thrilled with how they turned out! I am also thrilled with how much they didn’t cost us! (Besides the hours of intensive labor) the 150+ cards we made cost close to $50.
Good morning, everyone! So you might recall I had my first centerpiece trial a few weeks ago. The end result looked like this: The problem is, I used fake flowers! I really want to use real flowers for my reception because (a) they’re actually more cost-effective

IÂ love how creative brides (and grooms) get when it comes to the box they use for cards at the wedding. I’ve seen bird cages, fabric wrapped boxes and a lot of other ideas but one of the best I’ve seen is a mailbox! IÂ figure it not
Has anyone seen the adorable quilted letters from Anthropologie? Well has anyone looked at the price tag on one of those adorable letters? Exactly. Since one of my many mottos is “I can make it for less”, I decided to take a stab at it. And I’m

Our venue is practically a blank canvas so there is lots of room for DIY projects. There are a few blank white walls that definitely need some adornment. My sister had mentioned one day when we were at the venue that is would be great to put
Hello my lovely BSB readers! I am back and officially a married lady! Our wedding wasn’t perfect but I couldn’t be happier with the day. We hit a few interesting snags along the way (Sewing a bridesmaid into her dress 30 minutes before the ceremony and
Last summer I bought a Print Gocco, an adorable little at-home screen printer from Japan. It’s a bit of a process to use but easy to get the hang of and so much fun. Great instructions can be found here. After practicing on a few thank you
