DIY Haven

Wedding planning took up quite a lot of my time this year.  Many nights I perused the web, often landing on Etsy.  I inspected many beautiful handmade crafts.  One item in particular caught my fancy early on.  I was looking for a floral wreath rather than a veil and found this one at the gardensofwhimsy shop.  It was beautiful, yet I felt I could make it myself.  From that point on I decided the majority of my decorations and stationary would be hand made.  One expense I had a hard time justifying was fresh flowers.  I opted for silk flowers in my center pieces and as filler in the bouquets.  The bouquet looked so lovely with fresh roses and silk hydrangeas.

Today I continue to watch for great ways for people like you to save while wedding planning.  Here is a tutorial for gorgeous paper roses you can make on a budget rather than spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars for silk or fresh ones.  Many thanks and a big shout out to Ellinee for posting the tutorial.  Also check out the flowers in action at the Adventures in Futility and Knitting blog.  Congratulations JessaMica!
