DIY, Oh My!



My mama always said "if you want something done right, do it yourself." I'd like to modify it for the purposes of my wedding: "if you want something done right, affordably and have the time, then do it yourself."

These are the DIY projects I anticipate completing for our wedding:

• all planning (hoping to recruit a day-of-coordinator)

• invitations, save-the-dates, lined envelopes, programs, table numbers, place cards

• wedding favors

• my veil

• boutonnieres

• bouquets and centerpieces

• petal toss cones

• farewell bells

• cake topper (possibly)

• a cake stand

• keepsake handkerchiefs (if there is time left)

Pretty Green Boutonnieres

Ooooh! I want some like these! I just discovered Laurie's blog through {Once Wed}, which is full of wedding inspiration and crafty projects. I think I'll go ahead and order those feathers I talked myself out of on Etsy.

Boutonnières are something I will most likely complete weeks before the wedding and leave a place for a live flower. I'm not entirely sure how to do this. Any suggestions?
