DIY: Sparkly Earrings Tutorial

For my wedding, I wanted to make sure that each of my bridesmaids received not only heartfelt gifts from me for all their hard work, but something that I had made with my own two hands. After planning on making them a set of matching earrings and necklace to compliment their fab dresses from Vera Wang Bridesmaids, I went to work on getting all the supplies and brushed up on my jewelry making skills.

DIY: Beaded Table Numbers

A lucky visit to my favorite store in New York, Tinsel Trading, provided a simple solution to one of my wedding-day decor dilemmas. These adorable beaded letters are sold there for $10/each - and even if 18 tables x $10 had seemed reasonable, I still would have made my own set. Luckily for me, Tinsel Trading only offers these as letters, not numbers so I headed to my trusty local bead-emporium and got myself to work.

The Party Recap

Last Saturday was quite a night to remember for my sister-in-law, aka Miss Cupcake from WeddingBee. Myself, her maid and matron of honor, along with my amazing mother-in-law and another bridesmaid had been scheming for months to create a twist on the traditional bridal shower!

The Beginning

I’m just thrilled to be here as the guest blogger on Elizabeth Anne Designs and hope you will all enjoy some of the stories, projects and features I plan to share throughout my time here. I first started a blog in January 2006 and took a hiatus from posting right around the time I became engaged, to plan my own wedding in the Summer of 2007.

Inspired Goodness began in April 2008, coinciding with the launch of my event design company and has since become a place to learn D.I.Y. touches, discover inspiring resources and provide extraordinary ideas to help brides create the wedding of their dreams.

For my first post this week, I wanted to start at the beginning and share with you the story of how I met my husband and share the story of our engagement.
