Tone Down Your DIY Wedding

The latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings had an amazing article about DIY weddings- including a few couples whose entire wedding was made by their own hands!
While that is an impressive feat, most brides just don't have the time to sew their own dress, bake their own cake or arrange their own flowers... and that's okay.

Make your wedding special by choosing just a couple elements or personal touches. One idea we found is the invitation. Since it can be made a few months before the stress sets in, it's a great way to add your own flair and set the tone of your wedding, simply. Try this idea we found on the DIY Website...

A simple stencil on recycled paper creates a fun, fanciful style! Flip the stencil or use a different color paint or paper on your Thank You cards for a continuous look without extra work or cost.
 



Another way is to add a few signature ideas to a professional's touch. Like a few of your grandmother's antique brooches to your bouquet, perhaps?



Or add a few favorite recipes to your delicious wedding dinner!

Just hand your caterer your mother's (Top Secret!) Italian meatloaf recipe
and it can become Tuscan Mini Meatball Skewers with Rustic Italian Pepperonata. She, and the rest of your guests, will adore it!
