The Crafts
DIY is the name of the game here! As each project progresses, I'll link to it here.
Save the Dates (est. start 1/09)
DONE! check it out!
Guest book (completed 7/09)
I took our engagement pics and did a layout with blank pages for people to write well wishes and information in. I have to thank my typography II teacher for torturing us with a book project--I find it helpful afterall!
Boutonnieres (completed 7/09)
All done! I figured out how to curl the feathers, so that was way exciting!
Card Box (completed 7/09)
I kinda did this on a whim, but it turned out okay! Not perfect, but hey, I'm using it once, right?
Invitations (completed 8/09)
DONE!!! OMG!!
Centerpieces (est. start late summer 09)
I'm already thinking of ideas, and my lovely bridesmaid Terry is helping me with them. We'll get together to discuss ideas and let her take it away!
Aisle Runner (est. start--ummm...)
I really have no idea what I'm doing here. I want a fabric runner in my colors, but we shall see. I'm gonna have to phone a friend...
Escort Cards/Table Numbers (est. start--underway)
We're doing small cards in wine corks (see below) so we've already started collecting corks! We also want to use our favorite Belgian beers for table markers, so we'll need to start getting photos of all of them. Much drinking to do this summer! Or we can just go on the internet...

Ceremony Decor (trial done 7/09)
We're not doing a whole lot for decoration, but I do want to line the aisle with self-made luminarias, like this one (from Nyree's blog--I lost the link).
We're going to jump the broom! This one is from ebay. 5 bucks!! See the (semi) finished product here.
