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.

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.

The other day I was perusing the BHLDN website when I saw a pair of cute vow books. Have you heard of these? I didn’t even know these were a thing until I stumbled on them, and let’s just say now I’m super smitten. My husband and I didn’t write our own vows, but having a darling pair of notebooks to write them in might have changed things. So I designed the DIY vow books of my dreams–thick textured cardstock, calligraphy, dreamy ribbon, the works–and thought I would share the template with you for your own wedding.
Read on to learn how to make your own diy vow books.

Planning your wedding is one of the more sweat-inducing (and if I’m being totally honest, stomach churning, terrifying, and holy-crap-is-this-over-yet) aspects of getting married. As a matter of fact, I recently learned that of all the things a couple goes through over the course of their relationship, aside from the death of a family member, the toughest are: having a child, planning a wedding, and buying a house. In that order.
So to put it another way, wedding planning is just slightly less painful than delivering a baby.
I think on some level we already knew this, especially since wedding planning and giving birth have so much in common—but now we just have the science to back it up. So for all you newly engaged ladies and gents out there who are stressing out about planning your wedding, this post is for you.
