DIY Programs - Another Labor of Love

September 21st, 2009 @ 6:40 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

I designed our programs a few weeks ago. I knew I wanted to use the wood grain paper and incorporate many different images from the wedding theme (birds, branches, etc). I started designing and came up with a plan.

I would use the wood grain paper for the covers and cream paper for the pages (I still used a thick cardstock because I wanted it to…

Birds on the Table!

September 18th, 2009 @ 5:10 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

When I was in North Carolina for my shower/brunch/bachelorette extravaganza, I had to take advantage of the craft stores. I have been on a hunt for birds to put on the tables. I got inspiration from these weddings where birds looked so adorable on the table.

Take a Shawl and Snuggle

September 17th, 2009 @ 4:24 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

I wrote about a shawl basket that I loved, and decided to borrow the idea! I received our shawls and I love them. So, of course, I had to create some adorable signs and tags to go with them. We are super lucky to already have a great basket given to us by Mr. AC’s mom that we are going to use.

And They Wore Flowers in Their Hair.

September 16th, 2009 @ 4:40 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

Once we picked the girls’ dresses, I knew that I wanted them to have headpieces. I battled with the headpieces, finding SOOO many that I loved on Etsy and online. I was willing to spend the money to buy them. I thought the time it would take me to make them would be too much to handle.

But then I made the mistake of going to…

DIY Bird Reserved Signs

September 16th, 2009 @ 11:55 am by Mrs. Apple Cider

So, in my last post, I showed you the table/place cards that almost were. Sadly I had to leave that project in the dust due to time, but decided that our “Reserved” signs had to be rockin’! As usual, I turned to my handy MS Word to create a template.

I was trying to explain the project to Mr. AC. I said, “imagine a “Reserved” sign…

The Seating Cards That Almost Were

September 15th, 2009 @ 4:13 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

I am so sad that I am abandoning this project. I really loved it, and when I did it DIY-style, I just got so excited. I wish that there was a way to make it work, but the amount of time it would take to cut out each bird has slipped away.

Basically, the idea was for the birds to serve as place cards and sit…

Now that you have seen the bags we are using for our treat/candy bar, I wanted to share with you the things we have decided to include.

Our Guestbook Bench!

I loved the idea of making door hangers for our guests and have seen so many brides make some really great ones! I decided to give it a try. I found quite a few templates out there, but decided to tweak mine just a bit.

I have lots of leftover wood grain paper and want to carry that theme throughout the wedding. I decided to make…

Our rehearsal dinner invitations excite me! I knew I wanted to make them extra special too, and started thinking of a design in my head. Our rehearsal dinner is being held at an old apple barn, so we decided to go with an old country theme. Not “cheesy” country, but simple, old country. We hired a bluegrass band and I have started gathering design elements!
