DIY Photo Frame Cut-Out

I've seen this trending a lot more at weddings lately. In the age of Facebook and Instagram everyone is looking for a great photo to post to commemorate your day. 

This is a really easy thing you can make for guests to do photos. You cans have a photographer for this or just set up it up for guests to do photos on their own. You can have multiple frames with different designs or one simple one. 

You can use cardboard or thick cardstock to create your frame. You can have it for guests to hold themselves or hang it for them to be framed by. Paint it anyway you like it. Match the color to your wedding or keep it a simple and neutral. At the bottom you can add personal message like your date, names or any other message you desire. 

This craft is a great way to get creative and unique at your wedding without being to time consuming or expensive. 

Hope you enjoyed this! See you next Sunday! 

DIY???

In Seattle we can never be quite sure how our weather is going to turn out. A great way to impress and keep your guests happy is to provide things that will keep them comfortable throughout your ceremony and/or reception. There are a lot of ways to help guests stay comfortable and prepared for the weather.

If you are having an outdoor ceremony think about having shawl or blankets for guests to use. If it’s chilly or even rainy this will be much appreciated by your guests so they can stay warm and focused on your ceremony. You can find some really great cheap shawls or blankets that even match your color scheme and they will be really meaningful and much appreciated. Another thing to have on hand for a Seattle outdoor wedding is umbrellas. If it’s raining guests might have their own but if you supply matching umbrellas it will make your pictures look much nicer. But that is completely up to your preference.

Another place to think about this is beach ceremonies. Most women will be wearing heels, have some flip flops for your guests to wear during the ceremony to make it much easier for them to walk. You can also offer flip flops at your reception for guests that don’t want to dance in their heels.

These little things will make guests much happier and able to share in the joy of your big day. They will appreciate the kind gesture and be able to keep your dance floor going all night.

Check back next Sunday for another tip. Have a happy week! 

DIY Wine Cork Sign

I found this super cute, unique, and rustic idea for different sign for your big day. You can finally put all your old wine corks to use. This project is great for a rustic, outdoor summer wedding. It would be perfect for wedding at a winery or vineyard. It can really tie in the theme and venue.

These are pretty easy. You can get stencil letters and glue the corks to the top and then you already have your outline. If you want them to be free standing you can make the letter yourself with the corks. However, it will probably easier to use a stencil as your bas though. You may need to trim some of the corks so that they will fit the letter better so try laying it out first before attaching the corks.

You can create any type of sign you want like for the bar, the reception, or the ceremony. This is a fun project that gives you a reason to drink wine so who wouldn’t love that.

Hope you enjoyed this tip! Happy Sunday!
