Wedding

Whether you’re looking for a DIY project or general tip for wedding, you can find what you’re looking for right here. We got married in September 2014. We organized an outdoor, back yard reception on one of the hottest days in the fall. We planned a small wedding of less than 100 people and ended up being almost 100% DIY. We loved every minute of it. This category features all of our DIY projects and general wedding tips rolled up into one, easy location. We cover everything from budgeting to vendors to flowers to DIY. We can’t say it was the easiest way to throw a wedding, but we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We made every project featured here. Let’s be honest, we loved everything from that day. Leave a comment if you have one. If you’re looking for something more specific use our search bar or check out one of our niche categories. Thanks for stopping by, hope to have you back soon!

Wedding Budget

Congratulations on your engagement! Now, it’s time to start thinking about how soon you want to start dropping thousands of dollars. One, two, three years from now? Whenever that may be, you’ll need to decide how much you and your fiancé are willing to spend. No matter what you are going to plan, from this point on everything will be sent through your budget filter – that is if you don’t…

DIY Photo Booth: A Year in Review

February 5, 2015
Photo Booth

It’s been a fantastic year. I think we can all safely say 2014 was the year of the photo booth, partially driven by the #selfie movement. My craze with the photo booth started about a year ago at Christmas. I brought my Canon to my Aunt’s party on Christmas Eve and setup a simple Kraft paper background with a “Merry Christmas” sign. We made photo booth props from designs online…

Garden Thyme: Wedding Cleaning

September 10, 2014
Garden Cleaning

Ahhh, what a summer! Although the heat wasn’t as bad, this rainless summer was not good for my plants. While I had an abundance of almost everything I planted, I had a small window to harvest my crops before they began to wither. This summer was so dry, but I was surprised by how juicy my tomatoes were this season. Usually I’d wait until October to start cleaning up my space, but there…

Garden Thyme: Mums

August 27, 2014
Wedding Mums

As fall comes to an end, there’s always room for more planting! Chrysanthemum, also known as mums, are the most popular flower to grow and bloom in the fall and caring for them is easy. I started a bunch of pots around the yard to prep for Brian and Fatima’s wedding. We’re trying to do a little more DIY with the flowers, so here’s to hoping they’ll be ready! I…

Wedding Wednesday: We Are Getting Hitched

January 29, 2014
Lilies and Loafers

In late October, I proposed to Fatima, adding another chapter to our 5-year story in the making. And now, we are getting hitched…THIS YEAR! When I was shopping around for ring, I casually asked Fatima her ring size. I think she was too stressed with her CPA exam to question my question, so she just looked at me and said, “It’s a 7, you should know that.” So what did…
