Creative Wedding Guest Books | ohamanda.com. Welcome to ohAmanda! See more of my wedding & birthday party posts. It’s kinda my hobby to find fun party ideas! My sister-in-law is getting married in August. So this week we went wedding dress shopping (fun!) And bridesmaid dress shopping (not-so-fun).

If you've got the right supplies, time and willingness to work, you can truly amaze yourself... and your guests.

Good luck and I'd love to know which one of these projects inspires you! A True Love Story. DIY Bridal Bouquet – Dreams Weddings on a Budget «Dream Weddings on a Budget. If your watching your budget, and these days who isn’t – then a DIY bouquet project might be just the thing for you. In this project I’ll be showing you how to make the bouquet below. Where to begin. Silks or Fresh? Well first thing you need to do is choose between fresh flowers and silk. A fresh flower bouquet should only be tackled by the bravest among you with at least some DIY fortitude. Fresh flowers are less forgiving and should only be done within a day of the wedding. Silks are a much easier way to go for the average DIY’er.

I saw this awesome diy doily bag on Design*Sponge. {image via Design*Sponge} After reading through the full tutorial on Ashley Ann Photography’s blog I got to work on making one for each of my bridesmaids!
It took me a few trial/error bags but I eventually got the hang of it (the more spray adhesive the better!) And I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. For the initials I just printed off a letter in the size/font I wanted…carefully cut it out and then used the stencil that was left over to paint on each initial. The next thing I got for each of the girls was a pair of gray J Crew flip-flops (to match their J Crew BM dresses of course) to wear at the reception. {above 3 photos via author’s personal collection} {pic via madebysam} Woo-Wee!! PEONY LOVE! Happy Monday Guys....hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Let's open the cafe with one of my favorite flowers...Peonies! I love them! I think peonies are one of the most romantic flowers and I adore their sweet fragrance....their "ruffle-like" blooms are so soft and feminine.....truly a top pick for wedding floral.....whether you want to carry a bouquet of them or a single stem, you don't have to do a lot of "arranging" to them, which makes them perfect for a DIY wedding or for your home. A couple of weeks ago, the wonderful folks from FiftyFlowers, sent me the most beautiful Sarah Bernhardt Peonies....in case you didn't know, FiftyFlowers is a great resource for wholesale flowers for DIY weddings and events. So, I created a little "Peony Love" (right in my own back yard) and my girl Katie of Katie Stoops Photography stopped by to capture all the details.
Thanks so much Katie.....Enjoy Y'all....xoxo. Rock Candy Wedding Cake. Posted June 8, 2011 | 10 Comments I used to love rock candy as a kid. As an adult, I still love it. There’s this sweet little old-fashioned candy shop in my town that offers rock candy sticks in apothecary jars. They even give you a brown candy bag to fill up your candy selections. (It’s seriously like a step back in time and I love it all.) When I spotted this rock candy wedding cake, I loved how it plays into nostalgia but with a fresh, modern vibe.
You can dress it up in your favorite colors or go for a glam look with clear rock candies. Via here xo, -E. Wedding Blog: S'mores Bar Desserts. Today, many brides and grooms are incorporating more of their own personal style into their wedding day.
