I'm a DIY Bride!

Over the last couple of months I have been doing alot of orders for brides on LIW/NYCweddings.com. Although that site will not allow me to pos what I've done, i think it's pretty awesome that I am able to do what I love as a hobby...and make other brides HAPPY!

I started my DIY with my "Will you be my Bridesmaid" cards. It took me some time, but I wanted them to be completely personal. The poem was cute, about shoes.. and I added pearls (actually strung them on) to the flipflops and the dress!

(The same for the JBM)

Once I realized Vin's nephew would be 2 1/2 by the time the wedding came, I HAD to have him as our Ring Bearer... So I figured making a small bag that said "Ring Bear-er" and making a practice bear pillow. It was alot of fun to make... the "Ring Bear-er" was a little tricky to paint though!

Believe it or not, FH made these! They are oragami Shirts! I thought he was so cute when he made them...and I thought that was so awesome of him to be so involved!

We also got the bridal party Starfish Pins to go with the theme. I made cute little tags for the top of the boxes as well. I wanted them to have something that would be personal.. and yet usable!
