Ms. Stripes's Picture
Ms. Stripes, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 29, Costume Designer/Stylist Fiancee's Age and Occupation: 29, Chef Engagement Date: June 23, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Heritage Square Museum About Me: I’m a type A creative with a messy streak, a loud mouth, and an uncanny knack for combining clashing patterns. I can usually be found with my nose in a book, my feet (or at least my toes) on the ground, my head in the clouds, and my arm around the prettiest girl you ever saw- aka Fiancee Stripes. Together we’re planning a FUN vintage/modern French carnival wedding extravaganza and rockin’ dance party on a dime. (Say that three times fast!) Good coffee, long lists, Uniball pens, and my iPhone keep me sane, and making art, making trouble, and making out keep me happy! I love urban adventures, bike rides that end with afternoon drinks, breakfast for dinner, beautiful light, photography, travel, my furry family, and of course, my beautiful fiancee! I’m super excited to be here and can’t wait to share all our adventures as we craft a joyful, budget-friendly, design-savvy and all-around AWESOME wedding!

A Crafty Escape…

A Crafty Escape… : wedding crafts decor diy los angeles tutorial Diyflag

Whoa. I can’t believe another week has gone by so quickly!

And I don’t know about you guys, but Tuesday’s recap made me want to escape to a light & beautiful crafty world where craptastic wedding vendors don’t exist.

A world strung with mini-pennant flags in pale delicious golden colors. I’ve actually gotten quite a few inquiries about where to buy the (bright) mini-pennant flags I used in our STD’s photo shoot, so I figured I’d show you guys how to make them today. A quick and easy DIY for your Oscar Party and/or wedding.

It’s super easy! The perfect mindless American Idol watching activity (if you do such things!). Ready?

And that’s that.

I guess I should mention that I actually wanted to escape to this world two days ago (and take you all with me) but then my internet starting acting funny… cue extreme panic. Luckily an extremely awesome bee friend worked some techie magic and here I am again!

Thanks Lemon!
Happy weekend everybody!

Any other wedding crafts planned for this weekend?

P.S.  I promise I’m not shirking my recapping responsibilities, but merely didn’t have enough time + internet this week for the extremelyphotoheavy posts that are coming your way Monday! Still friends?

How freakin cute! I might jump on the “Bandwagon” (haha Miss Prairie Dog!) and use this idea for our wedding or shower! I love how you can totally change the mood/feel of these by switching out different colors and patterns of paper or fabric! Great job!

OMGCUTE! Love these! Bunting was the theme of our engagement party, and I made bigger buntings to hang from the marquees, but these little ones make my heart squee!

@Miss Lox: Lol easier than posting, apparently.. :)

Love this. I spent a couple hours the other night cutting 9 inch triangles (140 !!! of them) out of pretty old bedlinen and my back and scissors hand were unimpressed. This I like! Good woman Stripes!
