Here’s a fun DIY to get you in that Friday spirit (not that you needed my help or anything). The idea for these came from a friend of mine who got married a couple years ago. She and her hubby had a rather nontraditional wedding, and when it came time for them to walk down the aisle as husband and wife, all the guests waved flags, banged on little drums and blew kazoos. It was pure magic and so. much. fun. And with that, these fabric program flags were born! In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make your own program flags using our (free!) wedding program template.

The beginning of May means only one thing: we’re in the thick of wedding season. That’s both good and bad if you’re a soon-to-be-bride because, while it means that your wedding is only a few short months away, it also means that you only have a few short months to finish planning and tying up loose ends. And if we connect the dots here, that means it’s time to start thinking about invites (Hooray! We love invitations around here). Luckily for you, these DIY floral wedding invitations are both beautiful and easy to make. And they remind me of a classy garden wedding with a little upscale picnic action going on. Champagne + croquet, anyone?
Oh, and while I’m waxing poetic about DIY invitations, would you believe me if I told you that you can make them for less than $65? Yep! Not only are they gorgeously understated and elegant but they cost less than your average trip to Target. Miracles abound.

I’ve seen my fair share of wedding hashtags over the years–from the good to the bad to the downright terrible. They’re plastered on social media, printed at the bottom of menus, and displayed front and center on giant signs by the bar. I totally get it, what better way to capture all the love from your wedding in one place than with a catchy phrase that speaks to you as a couple?
But for stressed brides, crafting a punny hashtag is easier said than done. There’s so much pressure to make it unique, clever and fun. And on top of that you’re supposed to incorporate your names, wedding date, inside jokes from your first date, your mother’s maiden name….
Well not really, but sometimes it feels that way when you’re trying to come up with one! Luckily it doesn’t have to be that hard. Read on and I’ll show you how to create a hashtag for your wedding, the easy way.
