DIY Weddings: Cindy + Janice

Kelly Oshiro sent over details from Cindy and Janice’s seashell-themed wedding, which was full of awesome DIY! Kelly created much of the decor herself - it looks unbelievably good and everything was very budget-friendly.
First up, the seashell centerpieces.

To create these works of art, you will need:
* Plastic pot liners. Kelly purchased hers for $4 each from Moskatels in downtown LA.
* Seashells - a great source for these is Jamali Garden. These centerpieces are made from the rose clam shells.
* A hot glue gun
* Rocks, sea glass, floral to accent - anything goes!
* LED lights for some sparkle
Instructions:
* Hot glue seashells onto the pot liners and fill with the rocks, sea glass, floral, shells, etc.
* Underneath the seashells, tuck in LED lights for glow
* Cover the plastic edge of the pot liners with rows of shells
The finished product!
Another DIY detail was the seashell letters on the cake table. Kelly created these in much the same way, using styrofoam letters from Moskatels, the same seashells from Jamali Garden, and hot glue.

The event was held in a beautiful park.
Cindy and Janice had some little ones at their ceremony, so they provided lots of entertainment, including an inflatable play place and coloring books.
Kelly, thank you so much for sharing this awesome wedding with us! We love all of the DIY details and the personal touches!

How beautiful. You can really feel the love and personality behind the people involved :D
My first thought is~ how pretty and soft. I want to see everything up close. Love the shepherd’s hook with the seashells hanging on the ribbon.
The thought put into this is unreal. This is the personal touch done right. You’ve won me over and, apparently, my bb, The Trinigourmet :-)
I am in love with all these details, so pretty!
those are simply adorable!

Thank you guys for the compliments! I planned this wedding in 6 weeks, so coming up with all the little details in such a short time frame was definitely a challenge.
