Hello DIY brides & grooms! Today's DIY project is another easy one,  and works with any wedding theme: Table Number Cards.  This task can often be forgotten or done last minute, but it's important to make sure your guests know where to sit!   If you have some time and patience to search images online, print, cut and paste, you can make cool table numbers while watching Netflix.

Fascinating article about a new research which points to a conclusion that  "all most women seek is the opportunity to be judged as individuals, rather than viewed through the narrow lens of someone else's marital kaleidoscope." Here, here!

DIY #5: Wine Cork Place Card Holders

Hello brides & grooms!  Today's DIY project are wine cork place card holders!  This project is easy and the final outcome is quite charming.  Using wine corks for your place card holders has multiple crossover looks.  I think this would look great for any of your wedding visions; from rustic, elegant, romantic, hipster, etc.!  I definitely think that wine is a crowd pleaser, so using it's cork is a simple and fantastic way to display your guests' names!  Not to mention eco-friendly, with the re-purposed use of the cork after opening a bottle of wine!

DIY #4: Deconstructed Wedding Dress

Not everything we see in the bridal magazines scream "dream wedding gown"!  For us crafty gals, we prefer something individual with tons of personality.  Like myself, I know many of you peruse Etsy and other thrift sites for something vintage-unique with a friendly price tag. 

My steps to update a vintage wedding dress are part of today's DIY Project!  I found mine on Etsy for $60.  It was a weird length on my 5' 3" frame, so I decided to make it a fun after-ceremony wedding dress and shortened it for party time!  For me, shortening the dress gave enough bohemian-romantic 70's vibe without looking too hippie.
