We just posted a new article about creating your own DIY wedding invitations.
We've shared creative DIY wedding invitations with you before. More than once. A few times, even!
Do-it-yourself invitations are a fun, inspirational idea for your wedding day. If you’re graphic-savvy and have the time, go for it. In the creative process, you’ll also save a great deal of cash.
Check it out!
Sometimes the planning of a wedding can be so overwhelming that the fun of it all can get lost a little (see: Bridezillas). Why not take a hint from KC and Sara who had a lively and amazing wedding full of great ideas.
From their Save the Date cards (yes, they are really lying on the grass!) to signs directing traffic and wooden backdrops for the ceremony, KC and Sara brought their unique and artistic personalities to the event. Check out more photos from their big day on their blog.
And let us repeat: Those Save the Date cards are genius and adorable!
Following celebrity weddings and reading glamorous bridal magazines can be a lot of fun, but nothing’s more helpful than learning how real brides plan their big day. With that in mind, meet OWD's Real Brides: real OurWeddingDay.com brides-to-be sharing their experiences every day. It’s not about the “right” way to plan; it’s about each bride planning the wedding that’s right for her.
I promised my Save the Dates this week, hoping that my finishing touches from London would be here, but they aren’t. They should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday, so I hope to show my Save the Dates then.
Right now I am working on my catering details. Mr. J and I have decided on a traditional Italian dinner with old school Southern Deserts. (Me being an Italian Midwestern and him being a German Southern boy we figured this would be a good compromise.)
I met with my caterer Jen, who is amazing, on Friday, and talked. She really understands my vision of what I want. Plus, she offered to set up my centerpieces and order my linens. (She already told me to bring in things for my centerpieces, so she could create a few options for me to chose from. I’m smitten!) What’s not to love?
However, she left me with a daunting task: Picking my linens. I mean, I grew up in a family that had a sit down dinner with the table set (linens, breakable plates, glasses, and silverware) and the food was waiting for you. I knew that when I got married I would have to have this. Not because the wedding industry tells me so, but because that was how I was raised. So with Jennifer taking care of the china order, the glasses, the coffee cups, the shot glasses for the cookies and milk, all I had to do was pick the linens.
I’m a Gemini, not that that is an excuse, but I have a hard time picking out socks for the day without changing my mind 15 times. And they just go on my feet. People will be sitting here, and eating here and conversing here. I had two thoughts: elegant and classy or fun and beautiful. I finally chose (after changing my mind 10 times) fun and beautiful.
Next week: my Save the Dates (I hope, my finishing touch should be arriving from London in time.)
