Welcome to my Planning Bio

I will do an NC State one and I will be using organza instead of lace. I will probably make the toss garter as well since I already have most of the materials. I found this on thecheshirekat's bio.

I made these for my BMs. I also made a miniature version for my flower girl. Birdcagebride is my inspiration for this project. You can find her directions here:

DIY Pearl Necklaces

I have loved the idea of having a wedding photo of us holding a "Thank You" parasol since I first saw one. I want to use the photo for our personalized thank you notes. I made this over a few days but it could be done in just one day. Instructions can be found in my blog under DIY or All Things Paper. I am very happy with the way this turned out. It was much cheaper than buying one but it was very time consuming. I kind of understand why they're so expensive now! I bought a dozen of these so I technically spent around over $40 (the ones I've seen online are about $40+ plus shipping). In the end a single parasol probably costs less than $10 to make.

I want to get a cheap white hoodie and decorate it for the day of. The ones at VS are not quite what I'm looking for but I can't find a pic of what I want and it's the same idea. I think I just want mine to say "Bride". I thought about "Mrs. K***** Est. 9-18-2010" to match the undies I want to do but I'm not sure that I would ever wear it again, maybe on the HM?

I loved this idea since I first saw it! This was really easy to do and I am very pleased at how they turned out. You can find my tutorial here.

I will put a photo of my niece and I in here. I think it's a cute idea. I got the idea from a card I saw online. I have no idea where I saw it...if it's your idea, let me know so I can give you credit.

This is the toss garter I made. I really like zebra print and I thought this would be a nice way to incorporate it without going overboard. My tutorial can be found in my blog.

I painted these wine glasses to give to my BMs when I asked them to be in the bridal party.

I printed the letters out and taped them to the inside of the glass to trace. I used the wrong side of the paint brush to make the dots. This helped make cleaner, more uniform dots. I went around the glass in a spiral design one color at a time using red, black and white. The bottom of the glasses are painted either red or black and the letter matches the color on the bottom.
