DIY L♥VE Birds Seating ChartOctober 19th, 2010 by Larissa

5 thumbs up

When you are a DIY gal like me and want to practically make everything for your wedding then super unique ideas are always appreciated! I found the cutest DIY project for a seating chart by Flora Fauna Designs. Check it out and notice the cute little bride/groom birdies at the top! :)  

What you’ll need:
- Tray of home grown wheatgrass
- 3 24″ balsa dowels
- Balsa wood sign
- Gold metallic string
- Miniature clothes line clips
- Guest’s names printed on paper
- A pair of wedding birds from craft store
- Black paint for sign

Instructions:
Step 1: Purchase wheatgrass kit online and follow instructions.

Step 2: Construct wire poles by cutting one of the 3 balsa dowels into 5 even pieces (about 5 inches). Wrap gold string around the top cross bar in a star pattern until parallel and secure. Repeat on lower cross bar. Repeat for opposite pole.

Step 3: Tie gold string between the two wire poles for the names to hang on. Push the poles into the tray of wheatgrass.

Step 4: Pin guest names to the string with mini clothes pins. Glue wedding birds on opposite tops of poles.

Step 5: Hand paint sign. Glue the remaining 5 inch piece of dowel to the back of the sign. Stick sign into the front of the wheatgrass tray.

Real Wedding: Misty ♥ MatthewAugust 5th, 2010 by Larissa

8 thumbs up

This is one of the most incredible DIY weddings I have seen so far! Not only is everything super beautiful, personalized, and unique, but the bride (with the HUGE help of her mother) threw a fabulous wedding on a budget! Don’t you just love creative brides? :) A few of these fun DIY items include Misty’s parasol (very cool!!), centerpieces, candy bar, bridesmaid gowns (beautiful!), groom/groomsman’s ties, and the invitations. Btw, you have to check out their “guest book” which isn’t a guest book at all….it is a guitar they had everyone sign. Loving it!! I want to give a BIG CONGRATS to Misty & Matthew (you two are adorable btw) and thanks to Hope Photography for capturing all the lovely details. Read below on how Misty saved a ton of money on her wedding!

Oh boy do I have a treat for you today! Ever wondered what it would be like to attend a wedding where you would walk away thinking that was the best thing since sliced bread? Well, wonder no more because you are going to love this little gem! Carrie & Jason threw a glam rock-and-roll wedding that was not only pure gorgeousness (uhum…bouquet), but also mixed in cool details such as the handmade record label invitations. Btw, Jason made the invitations as a surprise to Carrie! Lucky gal! :) The couple is adorable, the wedding epic, and I want to thank Jen Hecht of Thistle & Glass Photography for sending this my way….every shot is utter perfection!
