No problem!

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I definitely would have just bought tissue paper thinking it was the same and suffered :-)

View quoted message

That's great! Thanks so much :-)

I have done A LOT of spray painting and hot glue gunning! I've tried to upcycle / Michael's coupon my way through as many of the items as possible!

View quoted message Yea! Oh that's great that Michaels has it now. When I asked them they didn't have it yet and send me to the tissue paper, but it needs to be the actual stuff like that with the texture in it so that you can cup / shape it

Awesome! My stencils are part of the Martha Stewart Living brand. I also used regular tape to hold the stencil in place in order to paint it: pro-tip!

Ooo Thank you so much! I will give them a shot. What do you mean by actual crepe paper? Is that this stuff? https://canada.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-MichaelsCanada-Site/en_CA/Product-Show?pid=10539558

I decided to go with a foam board; it was worth it! The quality is great and I won't be paranoid about the wind if there's a breeze.

Definitely keep an eye out for another 40-50% off sale (if you intend to use Vistaprint) so you can save on either the foam board itself or the easel.

View quoted message Thank you!
Yea they're all paper (crepe paper, tissue and books)

Legit so scared about it, cause I have to travel in a car (and a ferry) with it and not smoosh it lol I will post about it when I'm finished

Beautiful! The arch looks absolutely stunning, and I love your lanterns so much!

View quoted message

Omg that is GORGEOUS, I can't wait to see what you make!

View quoted message

I love this so much! And wine is such an amazing idea for a favour, I don't think I've ever seen it done before, very clever

View quoted message

Oh I know - it's crazy how talented they are! Thanks and happy planning as you come down to the wire!

View quoted message

Oh this is fantastic! We want to do the same, DIY an archway. I did not even consider Amazon. Splendid thanks for sharing!

View quoted message We just got it off amazon, it was $70? And you can make it tall like we did or you can make it wider and shorter

View quoted message

Very Nice!, where did you buy your arch from?

View quoted message

They turned out awesome, you did a great job! Are they all paper?

View quoted message This was the archway shortly after we started, and this is what our centrepieces look like!

I am attempting to make a wax paper backdrop. I am just waiting for the wax paper to show up. I'm gonna need lots of patience and time for this giant thing!

View quoted message

Oh god no, definitely not my lovely writing lol!

Used stencils for sure!

View quoted message Wow! These are amazing! Great job! I totally wish we would have thought of this.

View quoted message Thank you!
That's a really cute idea ^^ they're fairly easy to make. I've found tons of tutorials on pinterest (for example https://craftedtobloom.com/diy-crepe-paper-english-rose) just really make sure you got actual crepe paper because you have to be able to shape the paper into petals and you can sorta pull and shape them into it easily with crepe paper

Wine Favours!

100% our wine favours! We did home-made wine in 350ml bottles (1 per guest) with custom printed labels that fit our theme and thank you tags! We did this one, a Blush, as well as a white wine! They are both super good IMO and I'm so happy with how they turned out! And the making of the wine with my FH was just such a wonderful experience! We put so much into these!

Great job! I'm nervous about some of the signs I want to DIY. Did you use a stencil or is your writing just that lovely?

View quoted message

Those are lovely! I was thinking of doing paper flowers for my hair. How did you make them?

View quoted message Thank you so much ❤️❤️

I was taking pics of how I want the venue to set up certain areas (they will be more spread out at the venue...my coffee table is only so big lol)- I loved doing all of the DIY...I didn't have a lot, but I had some old frames that I painted gold, all of the signage I printed with a template from Etsy, I made the guest book with Shutterfly, I stained the 'Advice Cards' box, found Advice Cards/Mad Libs/I Spy templates from etsy, made a few tic tac toe chalk boards, and we are doing a Do It Yourself photo booth with a selfie stick and some props I found in Etsy and from Walmart
