DIY Wedding Weekend

This weekend we did tons of DIY projects for our wedding. We had lots of help from family but there is still a ton to do. I don't want to give everything away, so these are just teaser photos. I promise to post photos of all of the decorations, after the wedding.

Rock n' Roll Button Favors

We survived the weekend and my family still loves me.  We have another DIY weekend planned soon. Another small victory is that my soon to be sister-in-law loves her Bridesmaid dress. Small victories! 

Wedding Whirlwind

I can't believe that last Thursday marked the four month mark until our wedding! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of planning and preparation. On April 13th we'll officially be married and there are so many things that still need to be done.  Everyone keeps telling me to stop worrying so much and that no matter what it will be great.  I know in my heart that just marrying the woman I love will be the best thing ever but the party girl and perfectionist in me is sweating the details.  I want everything to look and be amazing.  Even on our limited budget.  Here are a few of the wedding details that I know I want to include.

Classic Make Up: Black Eye Liner and a Red Lip

Mini Champagne Bottles and Straws

Chinese Take Out Style Favor Boxes

Black Chandelier over the Dance Floor (DIY)

The details for me are very important.  I want those little things to stand out.  It's important to me that our wedding be unique and be totally us.  Hopefully, all of these details will make it memorable for our friends and family.
