Your DIY Wedding

Hey girls! I was just reading a thread about people not missing planning their wedding. I dont know about you but I loved every minute of planning mine. I keep telling my husband that I wish we could get married every year. I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is because I am a crafty DIY'er and I loved coming up with my own ideas and making my day so much more special.

If you were a DIY bride like myself, share some of the things you did for your big day and post pics if you have them!

Here are some of the things we did...

-I had made the guys boutonnieres using pressed leaves, tiny pine cones, dried berries and wheat.
-We made our favors, wooden shore birds with hand made tags (they doubled as place cards)... it was fitting because we were engaged on the beach.
-I made the girls jewelry. Leaf earrings with matching necklaces & bracelets.
-I made trees with hand made boxes that hung with battery t-lights.
-I also made my veil, hubby made our card box which was a wood barn with holes cut out for the windows (we have it in our kitchen now with a little light inside it so the light shines through the windows.

I know I did more but just wanted to name a few.

Re: Your DIY Wedding

I wasn't a DIY but I agree that I TOTALLY LOVED wedding planning and would totally do it every year!
