wedding diy

Gah, just when I thought I'd be starting to blog consistently, I got super busy. Boo. Thought I'd share some wedding DIY crafts from my wedding in October. It was one of the most lovely days I've had. But goodness, it was a great deal of work. Rather thankful it is over. :)

Starting with the invitation:

Table numbers: James and I bought old alphabet cubes from an antiques store, and then nailed two nails into each one. James did lovely job of painting numbers onto unfinished wooden squares. Cheery.

Pennants: my lovely friend Megan helped oh so immensely with making paper and cloth pennants for the tent. We bought scrapbook paper and then sewed them together with a sewing machine. So cute!

Cloth-ribbon pennant for zee wedding arch.

Cups for seating: We decided to give each of our guests a mug, which had their name and their table number on them. It was a super huge success! It really was not expensive either; we spent some months looking mugs at Goodwill, however.


Homemade chalkboards for signs: We bought several old frames at a flea market for a dollar and purchased some chalkboard paint for around fifteen dollars. James did a lovely job of painting them!

For the aisles, mother and I hung mason jars with hydrangeas from metal hooks. It was simple, but quite pretty.

Last shot: wedding day!

 more later! I must go bake brownies.
