How to: DIY Mrs. Sash

Image
  How to: DIY Mrs. Sash Have your bridesmaids create this personalized sash for you when planning your bachelorette party. Here's how they'll do it: Take a thin strip of white fabric, long enough to go across your body and be tied into a large knot or bow around your waist. On that strip, iron on letters with your new last name on it. That way, instead of using a generic "I'm the Bachelorette" sash, you can keep this one and reuse it! After wearing it all night celebrating your future-Mrs. status, you can share your good news with the world by hanging it on your door knocker at home. On the day of your wedding, tie the banner or tack it onto the door where you'll be getting ready! Photo by  Artistic Imagery . Get even more amazing DIY ideas in our  photo gallery .

Link Love: Fashionista Finds

Image
  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

Image
  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

Image
  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...

DIY Message Under Your Shoe

  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.

DIY Wedding Welcome Signs

Image
  DIY Wedding Welcome Signs Whether your wedding is in a backyard or down a long dirt road in the mountains, a sign is always a cute way to both welcome your guests to the ceremony or point them in the right direction when in doubt! In the first one, head to a local photographer or search online for a vendor who can create a custom life-size stand up photograph of yourselves. Do a silly pose, pointing in a direction to help the guests on their way. The second photograph is a wooden sign stuck into a large watering can flower pot with daisies. This, placed at the entry way of the reception, is a sweet touch and a great keepsake for after the reception. To create this one, take a piece of wood, about 4 inches thick and a yard long, and paint over it with white paint to create a background. (This couple painted circles creating a pattern on the wood.) Then, take a thick permanent marker in different colors (or a thin paintbrush and some water-resistant paint) and write your names on t...

Link Love: Shabby Chic

Image
  Link Love: Shabby Chic This week's projects all have that certain something to make them look just broken-in enough -- without actually being shabby. Here's the best from around the net. 1. No Sew Headband.  It's no secret taht we're big fans of Non-Pareil Magazine yet, so we were hardly surprised to see that they came up with this glamorous no-sew headband.  ( NonPareilMag ) 2. Kanzashi Flower.  This cute flower puts a new twist on a traditional Japanese craft. You could easily make these in a variety of colors as decor or add them to your bridal party's gift bags.  ( Edie's Fashion Factory ) 3. Doily Banners.  It doesn't get much more shabby chic than this -- a banner made entirely or old doilies. These would look great hanging at an outdoor reception, or even to add an extra feminine touch to your bridal shower.  ( Katie Jean ) 4. Flag Book Cookbook.  Esther K. Smith, who wrote the cutest little book "The Paper Bride," came up with this proje...

DIY Flower Boutonniere

Image
  DIY Flower Boutonniere This month's question comes from oohpieceofcandykim who wanted to learn how to make non-flowered boutonnieres. Visit our  message boards here  and send us your DIY questions. Your request could be answered in a future post. You don't have to use real flowers for your wedding boutonnieres -- here are three cute alternatives to a freshly picked bloom -- all using buttons. To create the yellow boutonniere: 1. Collect silver and yellow buttons of all sizes and shapes. 2. Arrange them one on top of the other to form mini arrangements resembling flowers. Use a green wire (fishing wire or those carried at craft stores works well) to thread through the buttons, holding them all together. 3. Gather all of the "stems" of your new little button flowers and wrap the green wire around it over and over to create volume. 4. Attach a safety pin to the back and you've got a little bouquet of buttons! (See how nice this one looks against the light suit? It...

Link Love: Girlie Inspiration

Image
  Link Love: Girlie Inspiration We're feeling especially girlie around here lately, so today's Link Love is all about those feminine touches. Lots of flowers and even some classic tea party inspiration. 1. Say Cheese.  Have a sophisticated cocktail and cheese hour as your guests transition over into the reception with this cute DIY cheese tray.  ( Ritzy Bee Blog ) 2. Chiffon and Tulle Flowers.  Think you have to pay big to get this delicate and soft look? Think again. Small chiffon pieces and bits of tulle come together to make this delightfully elegant hair accessory (or you could even wear it as a brooch).  ( Project Wedding ) 3. Hankerchief Roses.  We get it, sometimes those heirlooms (like grandma's hankie) aren't actually worth hanging on to. But instead of just tossing them out, why not reclaim them into a beautiful rose collection?  ( Eco-Proper.com ) 4. Hole-Punch Flowers.  That's right! All you'll need to put this craft together is a simp...

Como fazer live npc

Image
 Como fazer live npc Para fazer uma transmissão em direto de um NPC, podes seguir estes passos gerais: 1. **Escolhe uma Personagem**: Decide qual a personagem NPC que queres representar durante a transmissão em direto.

Podem ser frases, sons ou frases de efeito que se alinham com a personalidade da personagem. Considere os presentes ou interacções dos espectadores que irão desencadear respostas específicas. 3. **Configurar uma plataforma de transmissão em direto**: Escolha uma plataforma de transmissão em direto que se adeqúe às suas necessidades, como o TikTok, o Twitch ou o YouTube Live.

Link Love: Old School

Image
  Link Love: Old School It's Thursday and that means one thing: the best of what the web has to offer. Let's jump right to it. 1. Friendship Necklaces.  We promise these didn't go out of style! Really! OK, well, maybe you won't be wearing them out on a chic date, but this would make a wonderful (and memorable) project for you and your bridesmaids to try out.  ( Honestly WTF ). 2. Fabric Flowers.  If you're going for a retro-kitschy-cute wedding style, these handmade flowers could be just the thing for your bouquet. Just make sure you mismatch the fabric patterns like in the photo.  ( Snowy Bliss ) 3. Cheeky Chinese Fortune Teller.  Contraband at most grade schools -- you can show your wedding guests just what a rebel you are by presenting them at the reception. (Well, maybe not  that  daring). This is more of an inspirational link: the creator, Scott Bedford illustrates a sort of "choose your own ending" with illustrations. Sub in those illustrati...
