Decorative Initials DIY

 I wanted decorations that looked amazing, represented us, and didn't break the bank.  So, I made them myself.

Bloominous

I am always looking for ways to help cut costs, keep it beautiful, and make a wedding unique.  So, DIY is my middle married name!  The problem I run into with DIY is finding all the pieces to create my masterpiece.  I found a company that helps out a little bit in the flower department.

How to make a hair piece

As a bride we want to look good, but not all of us have the cash.  So, since I plan on ponying up the cash to have my hair professionally done, I won't have the cash for any hair accessories.  This is when I bust out my inner savvy bride and figure out how to make something.  First mission, find supplies!

Wedding Veil West Coast!

I wanted a long veil on my wedding day, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money!  So, I did what many of us do and went to look at the costs of doing in myself.  The cheapest I could come up with was $10.00 after embellishments, comb, and material.  I thought I could better than that.  I contacted a few places to see if I could work out an exchange of a review for a discount or free product, but didn't hear back from anyone.  So, what is a girl to do?

Table Runners Challenge! West Coast!

Ugh!  I just can't realize I need something without finding out that it comes with a serious challenge!  My latest issue, how to you find, buy, create table runners for tables you can't measure and don't know how long they will end up being?  Fantastic!  Planning a wedding away from home really bites sometimes, planning two can give a girl a headache!

How to have an alter that is both beautiful and inexpensive

I loved how my arbor and the alter area looked.  It was simple and elegant, better yet, it was created with love.  The most expensive thing is the backdrop that we created.  I did a review for a company on my mom blog not to long ago that had given me a great idea. Why not create a Saying Board?  I went online and found a large saying that expressed Love in a beautiful way.
