    This is fantastic in so many ways: you can use them in nature without polluting, it doesn't waste paper/plastic/other resources, a lot of people are gonna really like them because they're so unique and such a fun idea, and they look sooooo beautiful with all those nerves, that is such a cool pattern, where each one is completely different.

    I went to a wedding where they made us throw confetti and then we had to clean it up immediately because the church was having an event the next day. 🙄 And it was windy so the confetti kept blowing around as we tried to sweep it.

    My dad had an accident when I was 18 that left him disabled, with a catastrophic brain injury… we took care of him at home for 21 years; he died last year. I wish I’d been able to do something like this… what a beautiful idea. Though I’m 40 now and not exactly anywhere near getting married XD I do have my dad’s ashes (my mom didn’t want them, and she won’t let me tell our family/friends/people irl that he’s dead) so I DO always have him near me, at least :)

    We've heard a million times that weddings can be incredibly special, but planning them is a stressful venture for any soon-to-be-married couple. In this equally exciting and chaotic journey, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But allow me to let you in on one little secret: there’s no such thing as a perfect wedding! All nuptials encounter plenty of ups and downs, twists and turns, and inevitable disasters, both big and small. Whether it’s a mistake in planning or an unexpected situation caused by a guest who simply had one drink too many, there’s bound to be some drama.

    However, the reality is that weddings aren’t cheap. According to online wedding publication The Knot, the average cost for a wedding in 2021 was about $28,000 ($34,000 including the engagement ring), roughly the same as in 2019. But in 2020, the cost was around $19,000 because the pandemic caused weddings to downsize.

    "At the beginning of the pandemic, weddings came to a sudden halt (as did everything else!) and couples were forced to postpone, and some cancel, due to not being able to host their original guest count," Erica Estrada, San Francisco-based wedding planner, and designer, told Brides.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "It was an extremely sad and, quite frankly, stressful time for so many with many losing large amounts of money that had already been paid toward executing their wedding day."

    As a result of those uncertain times, some vendors are raising their costs. "Flower farms lost acres and acres of product for the weddings that were not allowed, then causing an increase in florals to pay farmers and an increased demand of flowers once weddings began to resume," Estrada explained.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Just like any other profession, most wedding vendors work in this industry full-time and having months with no weddings and the turn of the industry for the foreseeable future, price increases to make a living may be the only way many will be able to sustain during this time."

    Some advice? Practice your decorating on foam pieces if your worried. That's ALOT of actual cake to eat while practicing. It's pretty though! I used to professionally do cakes btw.

    No wonder so many brides and grooms are seeking smarter and cheaper alternatives when it comes to their looks and decorations. But while these couples are taking matters into their own hands, there’s a lot to know about hosting the DIY wedding of your dreams.

    Tackling the planning for your big day on your own takes a lot of work, time, and effort. Of course, all of this will be worthwhile when you walk down the aisle, but entering this chaotic arena will be easier if you’re aware of a few tips and tricks that can make the whole process much more manageable.

    Start by creating a wedding mood board. According to a blog post on Junebug Weddings, "They help guide decisions and keep your holistic vision in mind while also visually describing your desires to your wedding team."

    Moreover, they serve as an inspiration and become especially handy when DIYing items yourself. "Have you found a centerpiece that you want to recreate? What about a backdrop that you absolutely have to have? Tackling these items will be much easier when you have images to refer to."

    I helped a friend with her wedding, which was on a really tight budget. She found her vintage dress and all the vases for centerpieces at a thrift store and we went to Costco for the flowers. Her Aunt made the wedding cake (which was to DIE for!) and her sister & I did all the cooking, it was basically an appetizer buffet for 50 people. I had antique tablecloths and several different dishware patterns, her Mom & Aunt added their china and sterling silver to the mix as well. Nothing matched, but it totally looked intentional and was stunning.

    Thank you so much to the gentleman for wearing beautiful shoes to make his entire look classy! I really hate it when men wear a tux or classy suit, all tailored to perfection, then finish the look with no socks and brown shoes or Converse or trainers! Remember that in your wedding album, you will look very awkward is 20 years or so. Then try to explain to your high school son why he is not going to wear his favorite "kicks" to a formal event. Just a pet peeve of mine, but understand many, many people have similar opinion.

    You're absolutely correct! Her veil makes such a bold statement, while being a overall simple piece of art that she has crafted. It looks so delicate and beautiful blowing in the wind, and the wildflowers are so feminine. I love the fabric she used. I'd love to have a simple A- line dress made from it.

    When it comes to decorations, handcrafted pieces can save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. And they can be extremely satisfying to make! "Events are all about creating memorable experiences for yourself and your guests," Virginia Frischkorn, founder of Bluebird Productions, told AD It Yourself. "We love DIY’ing a few elements as the level of investment needed when you get your hands dirty creates really rich memories."

    "A great DIY project can be the perfect special touch to bring yourself and your partner even more so into the fabric of the celebration," Alicia Fritz, founder of A Day in May Events based in Traverse City, Michigan, agreed with this line of thinking.

    These are beautiful! The curse word part is throwing me off but I’m guessing perfectly fits the couple’s vibe (in a good way). These seem very personal and funny. I like that some of the ‘curse words’ are OK, I GUESS, MAGIC, GOSH, YUCK, NOPE. So it seems like choices for all kinds of family members in there.

    If she knitted it with lace-weight silk, merino wool, or alpaca, it should be incredibly lightweight. There's a popular tradition among knitters of making a "wedding ring" lace shawl for their wedding. It's a large shawl that's so light and scrunchable it can pass through a wedding ring.

    While it's not my personal taste, it's so amazing!! Especially coming from someone (me) that hasn't the first clue of how to even begin knitting 😆. This has 'family heirloom' written all over it, and I mean that in the best way! Other comments about using it as a baby blanket/for christening/ etc etc- such wonderful ideas! Regardless of what the bride decides to do with it, I'm sure it will be a very special piece that's held dear! ☺️

    Typically yes, there is a specific seating arrangement for weddings. I'm assuming this post is an American wedding as they usually have seating arrangements. Guests either find their assigned seats themselves or escorts take them. Hope this helps :)

    It looks very professional! My suggestion would be to test it by treating it like you will your bouquet - eg, refridgerate it overnight, carry it in a box in the car, have it out of water for several hours, toss it, etc, to make sure it's going to last the day, and if you need to make any changes.

    I understand it is toxic. But as the Norwegian name is "brudeslør" ("bridal weil"), I think it is very neccesary to have those flowers in the bouquet... Who eats the bouquet and how hard is it to keep it away from the eaters?

    Ditch the baby's breath and use a greenery instead. Worked for a florist and her intense dislike of baby's breath rubbed off. Plus the green would break up all the white and look much nicer

    Sam Gamgee, who was Frodo's companion, inherited the house that first belonged to Bilbo, who left it to Frodo, since Bilbo didn't have kids, and Frodo was his nephew. Frodo had no kids, and he left the home to Sam Gamgee and his family (he married Rosie Cotton, and they had a bunch of kids). So, the home that was first described in The Hobbit would be the home to the Gamgees.
