How to make

  Link Love: Fashionista Finds We'll admit it, sometimes weddings get a bad rep for not exactly being "fashion forward." So this week's Link Love is all about changing that. These projects are just too cute, and would be perfect for you, your bridesmaids, or even as a cute addition to your favorite honeymoon outfit. Enjoy! 1. DIY Pleated Skirt.  Direct from the UK, this skirt comes from DIY Couture, a boutique with a new twist: rather than buying the garment, you buy a  simple pattern  with easy-to-follow visual instructions. What a great concept! But today, you get this tutorial for free. Lucky you.  ( The Storque  via  DIY Couture ). 2. Blue Flower Necklace.  Bridesmaid gift? Or rehearsal dinner must? This fabric-rose necklace is so chic, you'll want to wear it everywhere.  ( Lollychops ). 3. DIY Fenton Necklace.  Jewelry designer Dana Lorenz created Fenton, a luxe line of bracelets and necklaces, and quickly made her way to fashion st...

  Create your own Remembrance Table What better way to display who you are and where you're both from than by turning your guestbook table into a table full of memories? Gather everything from old photographs of your great-grandparents right down to you and your husband. Pick photos of you and your hubby at various stages of your life. Add versions of your parents and grandparents as babies, toddlers and at their own wedding day. It's a great way to get your mom, or even grandma, and mother-in-law involved. Ask them to spend an afternoon with you digging up old photos in the attic. To add to this beautiful vintage vibe, consider including antiques, family heirlooms and any other items passed down through the generations of your family. For elegant vintage picture frames, try  YourPictureFrames.com . Or for more budget finds, try  Ebay.com . We love the idea of the old typewriter (in the photo on the right). In a similar vein, frame one of your favorite paintings, a poem, ...

  Playing Card Table Numbers If you're planning a Vegas wedding (either in lucky Las Vegas or just casino themed) add this special touch to the table numbers. Instead of your traditional 1-12, frame a deck of cards. Use several suits to accommodate the amount of tables you'll have at your wedding. How cute is this idea? We love the individual cards and then here's a shot of the table setting. (Our favorite little secret about this one? To tie it all together, add a pattern that matches with your decor to the back of the picture frame. Here, the couple used a peacock feather pattern which matches with the blues and greens in the linens!) Check out another Vegas idea  here . Photos by Kiersten Rowland,  Prema Photographic .

I found these awesome playing cards online and each card has a d...

  Link Love: Pretty in Pink It's all about the fun girlie details today. Here are some great accessories ideas -- and even a pair of DIY shoes! 1. Braided headband.  This fashionable headband is too cute. You could have your flower girl do the braiding and that way she'll feel like she got to be a part of the crafting as well.  ( Skip To My Lou ) 2. DIY sandals.  That's right: these shoes are all homemade. Perfect for that beach honeymoon you've been planning.  ( AnneKata.blogspot.com ) 3. Hand towel handbags.  It's so hard to admit that summer is nearly over, so we're saying, hit the beach one more time with your bridesmaids and use this fashionable handbag made from a hand towel.  ( CraftTutorials.net ) 4. Felt rose earrings.  They could be cute accessory or handmade gift for your bridesmaids, or make and wear them yourself as your "something blue."  ( Rubies & Pearls ) 5. Fabric carnation tutorial.  This project could easily be ac...

  DIY Message Under Your Shoe Not everything DIY for your wedding has to be decor related—check out this adorable pair of high heels with "I Do" written in bedazzles on the bottom of the shoe. With bedazzle rhinestones and studs from your local craft store (or  Michaels.com  sells them), write a little message! If you kneel during your ceremony, your guests will have a view of your sparkly "I Do" glued to the bottom of your heels. Or, this little touch is a surprise to show your husband-to-be, or just for a sweet Cinderella moment in a photograph. Even if you wear them again, you'll always know those white heels were from your big day! Check out these gorgeous  DIY centerpieces , perfect for any budget.
