Hi all! So my fiance and I decided a while ago that we didn't want to hire a DJ for our wedding. He can make a good playlist and knows what to do (crossfade, get good equipment, play music other...

NWR bug bites
BeachBride, on September 12, 2016 at 7:12 PM

Does anyone have awesome bug bite remedies? I have exactly 5,000 bug bites (mosquitos and no see ums) and over the counter itch cream does nothing for me! I've tried an aveeno cream and a cortisone...

Brittny, on September 11, 2016 at 2:00 PM

Just made a burlap silverware holder! I'll have about 150 to make but it took less than a minute to make it. My colors are plum and deep/dark teal so I may be adding a thin lace ribbon or a satin...

Victoria and Ralph, on April 4, 2014 at 12:09 PM

Has anyone ever used Bloominous for their wedding florals? Or are you planning on using it? How is/was your experience with them? It seems like a semi-DIY kit for florals, but I'm worried that they...

So, we have decided to do a hand fasting, and I have seen the prices on the cord, and feel like it's a bit excessive. Have any of you made your own? What helpful hints can you throw my way?? Thanks in...

Ribbon wands - buy or make?
Brooke, on September 2, 2016 at 8:55 PM

Anyone make their own ribbon wands? Was it a giant pain in the ass? Should I just buy them? I can get 100 on etsy for like 75 bucks but that seems like a giant waste of money for ribbon on a stick. At...
