I have been working on my table numbers to look like stained glass.
As I brought them out today for a picture I realized I stored them entirely wrong.

I stacked the number plates (acrylic) on top of each other with a paper towel in between each one.

Well, now the towel’s pattern is in the clear part.

For anyone else who has done this before, how did you store them? My thought now is wax paper but want a sanity check before I possibly have to redo them.

TLDR; paper towel pattern is now on my table numbers and I want to store them correctly to prevent new ones to have it and/or remove the pattern.

So proud of the felt flowers that I made for my wedding that’s happening soon. I used free patterns and tutorials that I found online. I was looking for an alternative to real flowers so I could keep them forever as a keepsake. Was really worried I wouldn’t end up liking how they look, but I love it 🥰. One more DIY checked off the list of many for my fantasy themed wedding.

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can purchase this stand in Ontario? I am looking to DIY this sign for my event and am hoping to get this stand. I like the dimensions but am not able to find it anywhere. Any help would be great! Thank you in advance :)

Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to remove old stains on white satin shoes?

I got these gorgeous, perfect shoes for free but she's a tad dirty and would love any suggestions. The brand says "Pimento" (?) and the insides feel like a fiberboard-like material

Couldn't find a cake topper we liked so DIY'd it!

Just wanted to show off my bridesmaid proposals. They feature a blind date with a book for two of my girls and a blind date with a cd for my other bridesmaid. Had written note and then stickers and tea. Two got a craft and one is a mom so I got her a necklace from her wishlist instead. I can’t wait to get these to them 🥹

I’m back with another wildly unnecessary wedding project.

This is my latest “finished” creation. Since we’re getting married out of state, I won’t be able to fully assemble it until the wedding, but this will eventually be set up in the parking area as guests walk toward the venue.

I cut the lettering stencils with my Cricut and painted everything by hand. The red “EXTREME” section is vinyl.

Cost breakdown:
•Plywood: $18
•8” x 5’ plank: $8
•Smokey decal: $20 from the official National Parks website (support your parks)
•Paint: leftover from my other projects

So altogether, it came to roughly $50, with plenty of supplies already on hand.

This was my last major wedding project, with 86 days left until the wedding. I’m very happy to have everything prepared this far ahead, aside from a few loose ends that still need to be tied up. Now I just have to resist inventing another project.

Hi there!

I’m going for a colourful/whimsy/garden vibe for my spring wedding in November and would love some feedback on some of my DIY projects!

Pic 1: Flower arch (will be adding trailing Jasmine vine as the greenery on the day)

Pic 2: Markers for start of aisle

Pic 3-5: Stamps! Are the table numbers cute or do I have DIY blindess? I would love to hear some ideas on how to use the stamps I have about 200!

Pics 6-7: Test table setup.

Feedback and tips welcome on all!

Thanks so much

One is going to be our seating chart (probably going to do cards on twine or hang them somehow, hand lettering them seems a bit of a faff); looking for ways to incorporate the other. We have an arch already for the ceremony that my dad built. Maybe to hang our seed pack favors? We're having 2 favors - seed packs and 2x2 travertine tiles repurposed as magnets, with wildflowers on them (using temp. tattoos to put on the wildflowers and sealing with mod podge). Would love other ideas! My dad is retired but used to restore old windows and doors so he had these hanging around. First window has all panes and second is missing top middle pane and left/right panes on second row from the top.

Paper napkins tend to look.. serviceable. They're cheap, they're convenient, they get the job done but the looks often remain lacking.

I briefly considered cloth napkins but they're expensive and I really don't need a pile of cloth napkins in my life after the wedding.

Luckily, we found these cute paper napkins with a lavender print along the outer edge! With a sprig of rosemary, a few lavender stems and a twine bow, they turn into adorable little bouquets that smell amazing and perfectly fit our cozy Mediterranean-inspired garden party.

Best of all.. They cost us 2.79€ for 20 napkins, or 14 ct each. The shrubs needed a trim anyway ;)

I wanted those beautiful old vintage wine crates for the wedding, but apparently authentic-looking wooden boxes cost approximately one human kidney.

So I grabbed a few unfinished crates from Michael’s and decided to see what I could come up with instead. Over three days, I painted them brown, sanded them down to make the finish look worn, created a custom “Evan & Alex Trading Co.” stencil with my Cricut, and painted the logo onto each crate.

They are not genuinely vintage, but once they are stacked and styled with the rest of the wedding décor, I think they will give me the same general look without the vintage-crate price tag. I’m honestly pretty happy with how weathered and imperfect they turned out.

Hi! Getting married in April 2027 and decided to DIY my bouquet with faux florals. I love it but I'm worried it may be a bit too large... Any advice is welcome! I'm a chronic overthinker, so I may be thinking too hard about it.

Edit 1: hehe I meant 2027

Edit 2: Thank you all for the feedback and suggestions! I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to put it away for a few weeks just to take a step away and think about all these wonderful suggestions and how I want to proceed.

This was such a fun project! I used acrylic paints and it took me about a week. I was so honored to be asked to do this for them. The groom's mother added the lettering with her cricut! It was a joy seeing people take selfies in it.

I found this beautiful dress on (link redacted per mod). It seems like maybe a dupe for a different dress. But I'm super apprehensive of purchasing it on E. I've been checking out the shop and can't verify for certain if they're legit. I've even messaged the seller but it's only been 12 hrs (no response).. Soooo I've been thinking of alternatives. I'm also on a very tight budget and would like to keep things under $300... Possibly $400.

I was thinking I may be able to find a tulle, strapless gown at Goodwill and make a halter lace overlay. I also want to try and achieve the cascading lace down the dress. I've been looking at where I could possibly source the lace material.

This would be ambitious as I have very rudimentary sewing skills and dress knowledge 😅 but when you don't have the $$ gotta make it work.

Does anyone have any tips or advice before I start this process? I've been watching a few videos, reading a few blogs. I'm just looking to soak up any help I can get. Anything from the best materials to achieve this, the best method, good places to find lace, ANYTHING!

I posted this in another wedding subreddit and got absolutely cooked for it. People said it was cringe, which… fair. I may be a little cringe. But I also think it’s sweet, funny, and very us.

This is the opening line I sent my fiancé when we matched on Tinder. As you can see, I was incredibly smooth.

I recreated our original profiles, 3D printed the two phones, and cut m the graphics with my Cricut. The middle piece shows our first conversation.

It’s not meant to be a huge centerpiece, just a small decoration tucked into the corner of our welcome table. Our wedding has a lot of handmade details that tell pieces of our story, and this felt like a fun way to include how the whole thing started.

Cringe or not, it makes me smile, so it’s staying.

SO happy with how everything turned out!
