Yesterday was my birthday and after a long search, I finally found and purchased a Gocco as my birthday gift to myself. I’ve basically been on the fence about purchasing a Gocco for a year at this point and naturally, by the time I realized just how much I wanted one they were completely sold out basically everywhere. Oops! Oh …

While I love browsing the wedding collections of stationers and invitation studios, one of my absolute favorite things to do is to feature real invitations – particularly custom and diy invitations.  I just love seeing the way that real couples and designers work together to produce an invitation design that represents the bride and groom as a couple and suits …

Throughout the planning process, I mentioned before that I wanted to stay sane and delegate where I could.  That included finding a florist who I trusted to do just about whatever she wanted, letting my parents be in charge of the catering and the alcohol, and letting my bridesmaids choose much of their own outfits.  However there was one thing …

Last week was all about invitations, but this week I thought I’d focus on Save the Dates – an important part of any wedding planning process and one of my favorite wedding stationery elements.

One of the reasons that I love Save the Date cards is their versatility – Save the Dates can be a simple postcard with the date and …

You guys, I have been so excited to show you one of my favorite DIY projects from the whole vow renewal – our time capsule guest book.  When A. and I were brainstorming and this idea came up, it was like “yes, that’s perfect!”.  We were celebrating ten years together and many years of friendship with our guests, and what better …

After we had finished up taking , everyone, including Charlie, got ready to walk down the aisle!  The Atlanta Woman’s Club had an upstairs room for dressing, which was very useful.  Charlie, our best man, our officiant, our honor attendant, the hubby and I all waited there while our guests arrived.  I’m very much in love with this photo of …

Indian weddings are not the easiest to follow if you aren’t familiar with the customs and the meanings behind them.

I checked with a few places about creating programs for us but unfortunately they were all out of our budget. A quick trip to the paper aisle in Office Max and inspiration struck. I bought regular creme resume paper and vellum …

OK, first of all, I’m finally beginning to recover from the stress of the last-minute vow renewal preparations. So I apologize that we have taken until now to pick our top 10 DIY projects to send to our fabulous judges, Emily from Once Wed, the girls from Southern Weddings, Kathryn from Snippet & Ink, Jenna from That Bride, and …

I have TWO WEEKS to go until we renew our vows!  Just 14 days from now we will literally be at the welcome party.  I am in shock that things have passed so fast!

This week I have been diligently working to finalize all of the vendor proposals, the seating charts, the music schedules, and all of the other logistics.  Oh, …

Tina created beautiful circular accordion fold programs with cover art designed by etsy seller arripke.

The cover art was printed on 5″ Paper Source circular cards. Hint for printing on shape cards: first print the design on a 8.5×11 sheet of paper and then tape the circle to the sheet of paper over the desired print area to run through …

As promised, here are a few more of our favorite DIY details from our wedding. As I mentioned yesterday, going the DIY route was a great way to personalize our wedding. Menus, programs, and custom coasters aren’t new ideas for a wedding, but because my husband and I were able to do them ourselves, each one of these …
