This is a DIY super-bride! We are in awe. She hand-crafted everything from the paper goods, the table linens, the flowers, the candy buffet and candy bag favors, the cake toppers, the hanging monograms, and the paper funnels for confetti. We are inspired by the way every details exudes freshness, charm and the bride's personality. While this scale of DIY is a rather daunting task to take on, select one or two projects that you and your bridesmaids can manage. Handmade touches really do add a special and unique touch to a wedding.
Sunshine yellow provided a wonderful backdrop for bright coloured flowers and other bright details like the bird place card holder. The bride mixed in pastel turquoise into the palette which works well as a contrasting tone. If you love this look, check out our Inspiration Board #7: Hello Yellow for some more inspiration.
The hanging monogram is such a lovely detail and, as explained in this real wedding post, can be hung over the bride and groom's chairs, the entrance to the reception or just on a tree.
This is such a great idea for flowers if you want to take on the project yourself. The bride used only roses in all different bright colours and made up the vases and bouquets on site. Beforehand, she painted small flower post white and tied bakers twine around them. The result is fresh, striking and beautiful!
The bride is the creative director and designer at a small paper goods company Smitten Studios and so was able to design all the paper goods herself: the stationery suite, the fans/programs, the paper cones for confetti, the menus and place cards.
A yellow cake is unusual but works perfectly with the colour scheme. The bride found raw wooden cake toppers and painted them to resemble herself and the groom.
The bride made the pinwheels from colourful paper, wooden dowels and split pins. We will have to do a pinwheel DIY post soon! These provided the guests with a taste of nostalgia.
The photo booth consisted of a curtain backdrop. See other ideas for photo booths and DIY photo stations here . The props consisted of paper mustaches on sticks and a frame that the bride painted white.
