DIY PHOTO BOOTH!!
SMILE!!!!
I went to visit my decorator yesterday and she handed me a flyer for a photo booth. What a great idea! I fell in love right away! The cost from my decorator for the photo booth rental + 200 exposures (that printout automatically) + all of the photos taken on a CD for $450.00. Not bad...but I thought that I could do better.....I checked out some retailers and photo developers and the grand total of my DIY version is a whopping $110.00!! There's a little more work involved, but I think I like my version better..check it out!

DIY Napkin Tutorial! One Done..139 More to Go!
MY FIRST TUTORIAL!!!
DIY Wedding Napkins...I am sooooo in love!!!
Supplies (140 napkins 12x12 hemmed)
Fabric: I used crafters cotton fabric. 16 meters. Wash and dried. ( I forgot to do this first...Shhhhh!!)
Thread
Scissors
Ruler
Sewing machine
Iron
Step One: Measure and mark out all of your napkins. Measurements are 14' x 14'. Do this with whatever means you have, whatever works best for you. I have yet to purchase a cutting mat and supplies so I cut with regular scissors sitting on my living room floor. LOL
Step Two: Iron your fabric nice and flat. All wrinkles should be gone!
Step Three: Use your iron to press a hem a quarter of an inch all the way around the napkin. Once you have done this all the way around, fold it another quarter of an inch again and press. This gives the hem a nice clean edge instead of your rough cutting edge.
Step Four: Sew. Pretty self explanitory. Try to keep the seam the same width all the way around. This makes for a neater edge on the face of the napkin.
VOILA! You are done. Now repeat OH, around 139 times! AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Wedding Colors and Themes...the many choices!
This past weekend I picked up a floral fabric that just so happened to include all of the colors I wished to incorporate into my wedding. I am very excited that I finally have the colors set in stone and I felt inspired to post some wedding colors that are popular this year to inspire some other brides out there.
Yellow is huge this year! I am seeing it in wedding blogs all over the internet, here are a few examples:
