At this point in the wedding planning process, we are in the phase I want to get out of as soon as possible. We don't live together, we are both working, and we are sharing a car. Oh yeah, and I'm planning our wedding. Yesterday, I ran all over the DFW metro area running errands that I have been putting off.
I love the diy part of planning this wedding so much more than I ever would have thought. I started my pinterest page when I realized I was going to be getting engaged about 8 or 9 months ago under the guise of helping my friend June Bug plan her June wedding.
So far, I've made my bouquets, my garter, my unity candle, my table decorations, a hair fascinator, and part of my bridesmaid gifts. It's been a great distraction from some of the drama that has surrounded the wedding.
At this point, I'm working on an elaborate tablecloth embellishment for the bride and groom reception table. I'm trying to make about fifty handmade satin flowers that will cascade down the front of the table to the floor.
I think all weddings should have one ridiculous project that is really time consuming and endless. As in, if I need stress relief from all the emotional drama, I can pull out my candle and melt some satin into a flower (Fire!) and I can stop at fifty flowers, or I can make a thousand if I need to. Whatever level of catharsis I need, that's how many flowers I will make.
Let's just say there will probably be more than one table decorated with these.
