It has been quite a half year… 6 months ago we got married! Since getting married we traveled to Jamaica & Costa Rica and have settled into the beginning of our “Happily Ever After”! Wedding Dresses so often just get worn once, which just seems …
I did a LOT of DIY for my July 20, 2013 Wedding. There were a few projects that I got help from my bridesmaids and friends (like my placecards to go on my Homemade Olive Oils). There were (many) other things that my *now* husband …
Emergencies Happen…
That is why we have Insurance and have Emergency Contacts and kits in our cars and Wills and all of that stuff. Although any disaster or emergency is really bad – one of the last times you want to have an emergency is on your wedding day! In order to be prepared you need to have a few things!
Why not make a “Wedding Survival Kit” for your Wedding!?
I made some Day-Of-Survival-Kits for my Bridesmaids. The large bag is made from a Placemat (I’ll do a full tutorial on those another day – I used to make these all the time, they are so easy). Then inside that is a little bag organizer made from a Pot Holder!!

We are a month away from our wedding!
Over a year ago, my fabulous fiance proposed. His proposal took place after lots of hints from everyone, and most importantly after I made “Engagement Cake“. I could not have asked for a more perfect proposal and love that we have it captured forever! Our cake is all picked out (a variation of a cake that I made) – which will be created by one of my co-workers and taste amazing. The venue is a place of great importance to us, where I grew up working, and where we will stay involved (with our family one day) for years to come. The dress is beautiful, the wedding party is stunning, the food will be amazing (one would hope with me being a food-blogger), our Wedding Photographers are out of this world, and the flowers will be fun & easy to create….
The vibe for the wedding that we are going for is kind of rustic and kind of relaxed and “us”. Although professionally made centerpieces are absolutely amazing, we knew that we could create our own flowers Continue reading DIY Wedding Centerpieces
