Crafting Your Perfect Day

From the Bride: Although some may disagree, I personally considered our six month engagement to be a long one. So, during those six months I had plenty of time to plan a dreamy DIY wedding. I have always LOVED crafting so I intended to craft my heart out to make this the best day ever.

Upgrade Your Guestbook

The love notes/guestbook table. Nick and I wanted something more than just a generic book filled with names of the individuals that attended our reception. We wanted something more unique and personal that fit the theme of our day. I was absolutely obsessed with how this little corner on the patio turned out

Kick the Cake And Have Sundaes

I’ve never been a big fan of wedding cake – but ice cream is a whole different story. Since our wedding was during the hot Arizona summer, what could be more delicious and fun than an ice cream sundae bar? When Nick and I first started dating we loved to go out for ice cream cones or Blizzards so we loved the idea of recreating this treat for our guests.
