Bunting

Bunting, bunting, and more bunting.


I can usually be found with either scrapbook paper, scissors, or at least a hot glue gun in my hand, at all times.  


I'm bunting my whole wedding.  From the woods to the aviary.  Covered in bunting.  


Today I completed my first two bunting projects with words.  They obviously won't be next to each other at the wedding, but for the photographs sake, they are.  

Programs

Of course, I decided to make my own programs for the wedding.  Back in high school I was the editor of my school newspaper, so I learned a lot of good design skills.  A couple months ago when I was completing a project for a health class in college, I toyed with Adobe Illustrator and LOVED it.  I decided to make my wedding program playing off a program I found on Intimate Weddings diy blog.  I used Illustrator to create the perfect wedding program for Kevin & I.  We both adore them!

Cake flowers

I'm actually getting some of my paper flowers put onto our wedding cake by the place that is doing it.  I made the flowers extra small because I thought it would look more ornate.  They are ADORABLE when they are teeny tiny.  Check it out!

From pinterest to life

Sometimes I feel like my house is pinterest...

Invitations

I made all of these by hand.  I now have 40 completed.  Cutting the burlap was quite a job, but I'm so happy with how they turned out!

Bouquet

This is my mixed media bouquet that I made from books, atlas', ribbon, and burlap!


[updated since I actually got married...]

DIY

I'm a crafty person.  Once we started talking about marriage, I made the decision that I was going to DIY my wedding.  For anyone who doesn't know, DIY stands for "do it yourself."  I had never really thought much about what I wanted at my wedding until Kevin and I started talking about it, but once I caught the marriage bug, you could say I got prepared.  I decided that I wanted a global theme, not so much bringing in other cultures, but displaying maps and globes.  I crochet all the time during the winter months, and had just crocheted a cool flower, so I started thinking about making my flowers, rather than buying them.  I decided I wasn't good enough at crocheting flowers to crochet my bouquet, but I took on the task of teaching myself to create paper flowers.  I bought a random old book and some atlas' and began making paper flowers.  Slowly, with the help of pinterest, my wedding crafting is looking AMAZING.  


I want to use this blog as a way to show people that their pinterest dream weddings don't just have to be dreams!
