DIY Wedding Decor

DIYs August 17, 2018

One of the weddings this summer was of an architect friend of mine, M. She wanted to do a DIY wedding with a lot of industrial elements. She had a vision and several of us helped carry it out with her. The Backdrop The Detail We used purple carnations, baby’s breaths and a few eucalyptus branches along with some other greens. We used wreath metal rings that you can find at the Dollar Tree. We separated each wreath wire and got 4 circles out of each one! #frugal Then used floral wire to wrap the greens and flowers around the rings. The Center Pieces You can learn how to make the geometric “cage” from Home Talk blog. Additionally, we used aluminum cans as vases to put in the center of the “cage.” The Party Favor You can learn how to make these at Ugly Duckling House blog. Can you tell I’m…

A Tropical Brunch

DIYs June 27, 2018

*This post contains affiliate links. I will earn a commission at no additional cost to you if you make a purchase using my links.* It’s summertime which means its also wedding season! So naturally, I have two weddings to attend. This also means I am going to be hosting a party or two and helping with the planning. Which are some of the things I love doing! Here is the setup for the first one I did just this past weekend. I had a brunch at around 11 a.m. with a tropical theme. It was set up in the patio and I kind of went crazy and designed all sorts of fun stationery to go with the whole thing. GARLAND I started off by making a garland that I made from real and fake plants. I literally went into my friend, D’s yard and asked if I could pick some…

A DIY Winter Engagement Photo Backdrop

DIYs March 23, 2018

This post could be irrelevant but the snow this week proves that it’s still winter! #climatechange is real ya’ll! Okay, so at the end of last year, on New Year’s Eve a friend of mine got engaged! Wooohoo! So naturally, I offered to help set up a bit of decor. Our engagements are pretty much watching the guy awkwardly put the ring on the girl, everyone taking a million photos and then having a huge delicious feast afterwards. I provided the background of the “ring ceremony” photos. It was pretty simple and was done in under two hours! Probs could have spent more time on the flower arrangement in the vase, but you get the idea. What You Need: -Flowers and greens of your choice -Twine -Floral wire -Scissors -Candles of different sizes -Ferry lights -Vase (optional) What You Do (roughly): 1. Take the twine and wrap the flowers around…

My latest creation was a backdrop for my friend, A’s henna party! (The same one, I did a garden tea party bridal shower for:) When I was asked, I was excited to take on the task and immediately searched Pinterest for inspiration. I found many ideas that I liked but all of my favorites included flowers and finally, decided to make a flower background. I came across A Practical Wedding blog which had a step by step tutorial that I followed pretty easily. At first the venue was supposed to be outside; however when it got closer to the date, we…

DIY Tea Party

DIYs February 27, 2017

I am so excited to share today’s post! I’ve been wanting to do a tea party for ages and I finally got a chance to do it a week ago. The weather was great, the sun came out and I felt like I could conquer the world! Does anyone else feel like that when the weather is good? I guess you can say I did the tea party to celebrate the sun! haha (Warning: there will be a lot of exclamation points in this post!!) For it, I made a banner, a few finger foods, set up a table, bought some flowers and put it all together. Flowers literally make everything better in my opinion! If you are ever having trouble setting up for anything, just buy flowers! I like getting them from Trader Joe’s, they are surprisingly affordable and have so much beautiful variety. To set the table, I mostly…

DIY Photo Hanging Idea

DIYs December 2, 2016

Today’s DIY post is inspired by my love for boho and rustic style. It’s quick, easy and very cheap! What you need: -Tree branch(es) -Yarn (white or black looks best in my opinion, but you can do whatever color your heart desires) -Photos (I got mine printed from Walmart.com they are 3×3 squares, and I love them!) -White string, or fishing line, whatever is available -Scissors -Mini clothes pins White string not pictured. What you do: 1. Go outside and find a tree that has some branches you can easily reach and break off. Lay branch out, measure and cut yarn longer than the branch. 2. Lay out yarn according to where you want to tie it on the branch, then tie a knot on each side. 3. Figure out where the middle of the yarn is and start pinning the photos from there. Then pin each photo in alternating sides of the middle…
