Invitations

I realized that I forgot to post the pictures of the finished invitations. They took forever but I'm glad I decided to do them myself. I gave myself a little credit by putting a 'handmade by' stamp on the back. The little rhinestones took forever and some fell off in the mail. The post office was not supposed to put them through the machine which is why I spent 98 cents per stamp but they did anyway. I blame the rhinestone mishap on them!

Aisle Runner

I bought 20 yards of muslin and my mom helped me hem the edges. It turned out really nice. I then blew up a monogram at Kinko's for a few bucks. I traced it onto the runner about 10 ft. from one end. I started to paint it black. It's very tedious! I think it'll turn out nice though.

Starting off

The wedding is December 12, 2009 and it's finally close enough to get excited. I am trying to be a DIY bride and make most things myself. I initially wanted to do this to save money but now I'm glad I decided on it because I am having fun trying to personalize everything. I have spent the last 14 months searching online for DIY projects that other brides have done and thought I'd give back by doing one myself with things I have done. Hope it helps someone!
