What this is...
I planned a wedding. By planning, I mean that I researched, booked vendors, and worked on designing the "look" of the ceremony and reception. This site is to organize and share the work that I've done.
Theres are TONS of great DIY projects that you can do to personalize your wedding! So many, that it can be intimidating at first. I chose projects that I felt (mostly) confident that I could accomplish AND that would save me $$$money$$$. However, I LOVE to be crafty and the more DIY projects I learn how to do, the more I WANT to do. I've found that the hardest thing about DIYing your own wedding is resisting the urge to take on more and more projects.
The list of projects constantly evolved as I learned new things that I've never heard of before starting this process. I got the ideas from wedding websites and, of course, Pinterest.
