More Martha Love…

October 29th, 2008 @ 5:13 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

As I mentioned in my last post, I love Martha Stewart. My absolute favorite wedding magazine is her Weddings magazine. She has wonderful inspiration pictures and most importantly, DIY projects.

I’m definitely incorporating a few of her projects into the wedding. Call me crazy but I LOVE crafts!

Ribbon Flowers

I’m planning on making quite a few of these into a throw away bouquet. It would be a funky personal touch to a traditional part of the reception. I bought TONS of teal and brown patterned ribbon at Michaels on sale for $1. Gotta love the sales!

Program Pockets

This idea would work so well for me. I have leftover pocketfold paper that could house the programs. However, I wonder if the church would allow me to do this, and if people would even notice that they are on the ends of the pew, rather than by the door of the church. I could Gocco a little fleur de lis on the pocket too. Yet another use for the Gocco, right?

Pressed Bouquet

I love this idea of making a keepsake for after the wedding. I’m super excited about the wedding flowers, and would love to keep parts of it with me for a long time. I’d have to ask my mom or sister to start it for me, however, since I will be out of town right after the reception.

Are you using any of Martha’s ideas in your wedding?

I love the last idea! Were they instructions on how to do it on her website? Every time I go to press flowers they turn brown.
*I never even thought about a keepsake from my bouquet until I saw a plastic box of a women I work for labeled wedding flowers..which is something that would be SO hard to throw away but seemingly a waste of space??

I love the program pockets. So cute in those colors, too!

My mom is making my cake and I know she is looking into Martha’s new wedding cake book.

@LeighAnn: I haven’t fully researched it yet, however, here’s what seems to be a pretty good site to help you out!

I wish she had step-by-step instructions on how to do the pocket programs! I am super-DIY challenged.
