Hair: I adore the hairstyle in this pin. My sister-in-law always has the most gorgeous hair so she was my hair stylist for the day. I love how it turned out.
Guest Book: We had my husband's aunt take our engagement pictures in Old Town Scottsdale. We took the photos and turned them into a beautiful Shutterfly book (I 100% recommend them by the way). The pin uses lay flat pages (which cost much bucko) but I find the traditional style pages work just as nice for this.
Bouquet: I struggled for a long time deciding how I wanted my bouquet to look. We had already decided on hydrangeas and roses so I went to the grocery store and picked some up to start experimenting.
As you can see my attempt was a FAIL. I decided to give up a little control on my mostly DIY wedding and contacted a professional florist with this pin. We changed a few things but it turned out great.
Centerpieces: Lots of Pinterest going on here; favor boxes (with custom ornaments inside), table, numbers, and floral vases. My husband thought I was crazy to put together 30 of these centerpieces on my own (well, me and 5 of my "volunteers") but the pin was so simple! The table numbers came form this pin and a little Microsoft magic.
Mr. & Mrs. Sign: These signs are all the rage on Pinterest but I especially liked the contrast this pin offered by using scrapbook paper. One of my bridesmaids and I busted out the Cricuit machine and this is what we got.
Thank You: We wanted a way to thank our guests for spending the day with us. Inspired by this pin, we sprinkled signs around the reception to show our appreciation. Amazing what a little MS Publisher magic can do.
All pinning aside, none of this would have been half as beautiful if I wasn't able to marry the man of my dreams that day. Love you babe!
