They created several projects – click on the links below to jump to the instructions […]

I have the cutest DIY tutorial to share with you today!  My friends Kelly Marie from Fleur and Suzy from Lily Red Studio are stopping by to share a fabulous DIY billy ball escort card box how-to with us.  Designed by Tiffany of Chicago’s Soiree Events, this sweet display is so easy and cute, and […]

We have another gorgeous DIY project for you today! Rafters of Cedars creates some of the most gorgeous chuppas we’ve ever seen and we’re incredibly lucky that Diana has shared this tutorial on how to create your own monogrammed embroidery hoops. They would be lovely as an accent piece at weddings, anniversaries, or also in children’s rooms. […]

As I previously posted, our invitations went out last month and we have been receiving a steady stream of RSVP cards. As I was going through the pictures of the assembly process, it makes it look easy. Trust me, it was very intense and not the easiest invitations I have put together! (This is my […]

Understatement of the year: I feel like I spent a lot of time planning this wedding. But the end result? A day filled not only with people that we love but details that I loved as well! We are still waiting for our official photos from Punam Bean, but in the meantime I’ll share with […]

Once we had all the RSVP’s in, DJ’s mom helped me finish this project. She has pretty, scripty handwriting, much better than my ugly scrawl. The bronze rectangles are mini envelopes, each with a couple or guest’s name written on the back. Inside each is a picture of a book cover corresponding to their table […]

Love these!  Ten Thousand Only is being crafty – check out her paper flower escort cards (and beautiful DIY centerpieces too!) here.

Happy weekend dear readers! I hope you had a great Saturday and are going into a warm and relaxing Sunday. We’ll be hitting up the brunch at Whole Foods today for a treat…after a stressful week of planning, we figured we deserved some mimosas and french toast!! After our mishap with our invitations a couple […]

Kelly from So You’re EnGAYged created these gorgeous birdhouse escort cards for her own wedding.  They are cost-effective, whimsical, and completely unique – a perfect combination! {Tutorial found here} PS – See another birdhouse escort card idea from Myra here!

Love these little cootie catchers found on the Vintage Glam blog!  Great conversation starters, or you could use them as your menu, place cards, escort cards – the ideas are endless! {Vintage Glam blog}

Throughout the planning process, I mentioned before that I wanted to stay sane and delegate where I could.  That included finding a florist who I trusted to do just about whatever she wanted, letting my parents be in charge of the catering and the alcohol, and letting my bridesmaids choose much of their own outfits. […]

So, as I said, our theme is based on the mountain woods surrounding our venue and feature shades of green, chocolate brown, and cream, with plum accents. The lobby to our venue has a lot of green and bronze, and we wanted to play up the woodsy theme of our venue with our escort cards. […]

Created by Inchmark and found via Black Eiffel, these  DIY escort cards are so crafty and unique. Instructions can be found {here}.  Display on an escort card board with round head map pins as shown, or perhaps forego the punched hole and put them in your DIY escort card rolodex!

Amanda has a great two-part project for us today.  First up, a beautiful Seating Card Rolodex made from the drawers of an Ikea Fira mini chest. What you’ll need for this project (and part 2, coming up later!): – Ikea Fira wooden boxes – spray paint or varnish – color cardstock – alphabet stickers – paper cutter […]

After successfully completing our wedding invitations, I knew that I could do the remainder of the wedding stationery myself. I designed, printed, and assembled the rest of our wedding stationery using the same process as I did with our invitations. I created ceremony programs, menus, escort cards, place cards, table signs, table numbers, stickers, out […]

Victoria submitted these positively lovely compass escort cards. To reflect our wedding’s vintage inspiration, my fiance’s career as a Naval Aviator, and my career as a writer, we created these compass escort cards. The idea of a compass, however, can be appropriate to any bride’s wedding, as the compasses reflect the idea of a guest […]

One area where we decided we could save money was in all of the print materials. I had a pretty specific idea of how I wanted the final invitations to look and knew we could create a simple look on our own. We completed the Save the Dates before we actually had our professional engagement […]

At six weeks to go until our wedding, we are starting to really think about and plan all the little details like hotel and map enclosures for our invitations, small ceremony details, escort cards, and programs.  I would like to have some sort of program for the ceremony, but I  a) don’t want it to […]
