I hope that you all enjoyed the long weekend! After a healthy dose of of sun (and sunscreen!), BBQ, and rest, I am ready to tackle this week — and boy-oh-boy do I have a ton of “to-do” items on my list, including a few fun DIY projects!
If you are looking for any DIY projects yourself, and want to add some notable details to your wedding, then be sure to check out The Wedding Chicks’ templates – they are the best!
If you are up for a little DIY project, then order a stamp for your save the date or invite return address. Not only is stamping fun, you will also get to keep the stamp and use in your new married life! I love designs by Sweet Papery, Primele and Expressionery (available at The Dandelion Patch).

It is that time of year when I start to focus in on the special details for my spring brides. Since most of the big items are checked off, we now are able to take the time to get creative!
I love anything that makes for a great pictures…and these ribbon send off sticks don’t look too hard to make either! I just might order some ribbon from M&J Trimming (watch out – this site is addicting!), get some dowel rods, and start crafting.
Is anyone else doing something fun for a send-off? How about getting crafty? These cold winter months are the perfect excuse to stay inside and get your craft on. Happy weekend!!
Emersonmade is known for their beautiful floral creations. The sashes and pins and corsages amount to countless opportunities for accessorizing on your wedding day. A big flower would even be a great option for dressing up a simple bridesmaid dress. The recently-launched Untamed Petals has some lovely blooms as well. Just take a look at those real wedding photos!
Finally, the ever-dependable Etsy has some delightful little shops. We love Twigs & Honey and Lo Boheme – gorgeous!
Not only are there some great vendors for these accessories, but there are a few stunning diy projects circulating the web as well. These Style Me Pretty and Project Wedding projects are just two options.
Soft cotton and ribbon flowers, as well as blooms made of more luxurious fabrics like silk and chiffon, can be the perfect bit of added whimsy to any wedding.
We wrap up our week with Ashley of The Chic Line‘s creative ideas for your table numbers…
Table numbers are a perfect venue to get creative and continue the mood of your wedding. Why shell out more money to your stationer or florist when you can easily put together an impressive looking set of numbers yourself?
Simple fabric numbers, spruced up wooden numbers for your centerpieces.
