Creating a stylish, simple & handmade home.

Our Wedding in the Woods

After several weeks of wedding project posts (scroll back to see how we DIY'ed everything from our favours, to table decor, to the seating chart), I think I've just about come to the end of my wedding craft frenzy. So I thought I would cap things off by doing a little post about the day itself. It was perfect -- it was everything that we had hoped for and it just felt like us. Relaxed, fun, and ...

“pick your own” gray bridesmaid dresses

When Dan and I got engaged we very quickly chose our wedding party peeps -- it wasn't a hard decision since we've got some of the best family and friends ever. The party, however, wasn't small.

How to Make Wooden Wedding Signs

During one of my many wedding blog browsing sessions during the planning mode, I came across some really sweet wooden signs that the bride and groom had made for their wedding. Since our wedding was out in the woods (we got married in the adirondack park, NY) and I knew my handy Daddio could whip up the signs for me, I chalked this one up on the 'to do' list. DIY Wooden Wedding Signs: First ... View the Post

How To Make Budget Friendly Wedding Centerpieces

When thinking about what I wanted on our tables for our wedding reception I considered a few factors: They needed to be budget and DIY-friendly They needed to fit in with our wedding in the woods: simple, elegant, and fun (I don't think huge arrangements of feathers and flowers were going to work here) And surprise, surprise, I wanted to incorporate my favourite colours: aqua, white, ...
