Our Wedding DIY Projects & Details

Probably the biggest reason for me being gone so much in the last month was my little brother's wedding. They were married in Utah but had receptions in Utah, Texas and here in Phoenix, since that's where Nathan grew up. Since my sister and I both live here, we were put in charge of the entire shin-dig. Here's a quick look at what we did:

Hanging mason jars.  I hot glued hemp around the mouth of the jar, knotting a piece long enough for hanging.  We glued a strip of burlap and a piece of ribbon around the jar and voila!  The original idea was to put a red sunflower in the jar, but it turned out that the flower buds were too big to fit.  I think they were just as cute empty, though!

Photo Canvas Sign In "Book".  I blew up one of Nathan & Megan's engagement photos and Mod Podged it to a 16x20 canvas.  We left a few Sharpies out and let people sign the photo.  This is the only photo of it, so you can't really see how it turned out, but you get the idea.  I think it turned out really cute and will be a fun memento to have hanging in their new apartment.  **Oh! And that old, teal birdcage to the left? My sister and I found it at an antique store for like $15.00 and fell in love with it immediately.  It was the perfect thing to hold all the cards!

Candy Bar & Sweets Table.  This one is pretty self explanatory.  Red and teal were our colors of choice, so we bought all the appropriate candy we could find!  We also served lemon cakes, cinnamon bites, cupcakes and strawberry shortcake kabobs (you can find my tutorial for those {here} ).

**Thanks to {Jacie Ames Photography} for several of the photos**

And this is my husband and I towards the end of the evening.  Can you tell I'm roasting and exhausted?  I've decided that pregnant women shouldn't be in charge of any major productions. :)
