LOVE Letters

LOVE yard letters.jpg

My Sisters Suitcase made these sweet, romantic LOVE letters for Valentine's Day. I love the gradient effect the yarn has. This would be great for a kid's room or wedding as well. Or just a nice 'Welcome' sign to your home. What would you spell out?

Green Wedding Shoes is a wedding blog, but this tutorial for making DIY XL flowers is so pretty it can be used for all sorts of occasions. Photobooth backdrop or props, a big boquet on a table, several clustered and mounted on a wall. How would you use them?

Canoe Wedding Topper

Do you canoe? If you do, and you're getting hitched, you need to take a look at Star House's customizable canoe wedding cake topper. Created by husband-and-wife team Heather and Jeremy, the hand-painted topper is made of wood and has enough room to add your favorite pet. I wonder how my fat cat would look in here...

A Crafty Proposal

You might remember my boyfriend winning "Boyfriend of the Year" for building my epic craft table this summer. Well, he topped that, and then some, by presenting me with a handmade Lifetime Craft Achievement award this weekend at the craft fair I help run, Detroit Urban Craft Fair.

Inside of the award was a secret compartment with an engagement ring. Not bad, eh?

Can you spot all of the crafting supplies he used to create the award?

Plastic Flower Bouquet

If I could carry a bouquet like this down the aisle as a bridesmaid, I think I wouldn't care what kind of dress I had to wear. Jennifer Perkins of Naughty Secretary Club created this fabulous flower arrangement using plastic flower pieces and shares her in-progress shots and a how-to over on her blog. I love that this would be a show stopper at the wedding and could then be a fun accent piece in your home for years to come.

Thriller Father Daughter Dance

Happy Halloween!

On this zombie-filled day I thought I would share my father daughter dance with my dad. This was completely thought up by my dad, a football coach, making it all the better. Enjoy!

Your wedding is one of the most special and touching days of your life, making it the perfect time to bring personal, one-of-a-kind DIY elements into the mix.

Delia and Jeff's wedding did just this and is featured in Ruffled.

I love the sweet picnic moment happening here, along with the handmade seating arrangements stating "Blanket #13". How lovely and unique.

Delia and Jeff also had handmade goody bags of fruit and treats and face painting for their guests. And it all started with this sweet handmade invitation. What a beautiful and fun event!

Super Mario Brothers Wedding

This is amazing. Designer Larry Quach helped create a Super Mario Brothers-themed wedding earlier this month for his friends. From wedding invitations to seating charts, everything is as Mario as can be. You might also remember Larry from this Conan O'Brien appearance.
