Place Settings

I like this idea, the place settings had pictures of them at the same ages when they were little. They were so cute and great conversation pieces.

DIY - Veil, Hair Flower, Birdcage Veil

Finding the perfect accessory for your hair is tres important when it comes to completing your wedding, for the bride, the bridesmaids or the guests


Fabric: Tulle (be creative and select different sizes and textures to create contrast)
Beads/Gems (from your local bead shop.
Rhinestones, crystals, clear beads add sparkle and a bit of elegance to your handmade creation)Comb (Any beauty store or Target should have this)
Feathers (try craft stores, like Michaels)
White thread, sewing needle and fabric glue that dries clear

Step 1: Gather the materials and lay them out. You’ll want to cut the tulle in a few different sizes. This way you can play to see what combinations you like best

Step 2: Once you have the combination you like, gather the tulle in a bunch on the comb so you can stitch the two parts together. Make sure it’s stitched tight. Play with the tulle to make sure it’s falling nicely across your face.

Step 3: Now you can begin to add gems and feathers. You’ll want to add a cluster of gems on top of the comb to hide your stitching. Then add rhinestones and feathers to your liking.

Step 4: Tuck the comb into your hair and drape tulle in front of your face…You’re done!”

If you ar not the bride, give the tulle away, you can also use a pretty flower
or make it in a different color!!!

DIY - Soaps, Giveaway

I love this beautiful giveawy!!!

Here’s what you need for the project:
Soap base (available at Michaels). We used the goat milk base for ours
Soap molds (also from Michaels http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home)

Herbs, oats, tea, essential oil, anything you want to use to flavor your soap.
We decided to make three flavors:
Lavendar Oatmeal (fresh lavender flowers, lavender essential oil, oats)

Chai Tea (steeped tea for color and scent, plus dry loose tea for a little texture)

Chamomile Calendula (dried chamomile and calendula flowers)

Here’s what you do:
1. Melt soap base (stirring often over medium heat)
2. Add “seasonings”

3. Mix well and long enough for flavors to distribute evenly

4. Pour liquid soap into molds
5. Uncork champagne and enjoy the afternoon waiting for your soaps to set!


Once your soaps have set (overnight, or we found you can refrigerate them for a few hours), you have to package them in maximum cuteness. We wrapped ours in unbleached parchment paper (in the same way you’d wrap a gift), then added a band of vintage wallpaper for decoration. We made tags using a grocery bag and a 1 1/2 inch tag punch, and tied them on with baker’s twine

Perfect Wedding Programs Part II

Program Pockets
Set the tone right from the start by
greeting guests at the ceremony with aqua
and red programs suspended from every seat.
Loose pages rest inside the pocket
of an oversize blue tag; its damask-style pattern
is added with a rubber stamp.

Bow Programs
To make these programs (one letter-size

sheet yields two progrmas), arrange your
text horizontaly on the page in
landscape mode over four columns.
Cut the sheet in half,
wrap a 10-by-7/8-inch band
arround the center and tuck them under the band,
making sure they overlap slightly.

Perfect Wedding Programs

Rows of Prose
Consider having your vows
calligraphed or printed in
on envelopes and stashing
programs inside.

Take a Bough
Branch out beyond typical wedding programs
by adding a touch of Druid fun an whimsy to them.

"What Tree Did Aou Fall From?" a Celtic version of astrology,
is the perfect distraction for those waiting the Wedding March.
