Slow Going

I've been very busy on my etsy shop. I've posted and sold and shipped a bunch of sailor scout baby outfits.

Wedding Bouquet Part 3

In the first post about wedding bouquet construction I showed you how to make origami lilies.

The second post showed how to make paper roses. 

This post will finish up the project by showing the final bouquet construction.

Wedding Bouquet Part 1

This post will show how I made the paper roses for my DIY wedding bouquet. I chose to use a dictionary and cut out petals from pages with meaningful words. You could also use a favorite novel or a flower field guide would give a splash of color. Keep in mind that you want a book with very white pages if you are wearing a white dress. If the pages are slightly off-white it will show up harshly against a white background. 

Wedding Bouquet Part 1

I loved preparing for my wedding. I know a lot of people get really stressed and go nuts over little things (looking at you, Bridezillas). But I loved the idea of being able to make our wedding totally crafty and a little nerdy. (Bonus: making most of my wedding elements saved a TON of money).

Now, I have seen nerdy weddings. They are cute and fun, but only to those who are also nerdy. I am not a fan of making the entire wedding video game, anime, whatever themed. There will be relatives there that will have no idea what is going on and they won't have as much fun. This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think that you should throw a wedding that is fun for everyone, not something that only the bride is happy with.
