Silver Chargers

Hello wedding world - I'm still alive! I wanted to update that I am still renting out the silver chargers to those who live in the Dallas and Houston and those surround areas. Shipping the chargers is very pricey - so my mother or I will just meet up with you to exchange cash and chargers!

I've attached a couple photos of weddings that have used the chargers. Let me know if you are interested.

Depending on the situation - they run .80-$1.00 a piece to rent

Our Wedding!!

I had the absolute best time at our wedding. I am so pleased with how everything turned out. I wouldn't change a thing! And now that I've been through my own wedding, I am assured that I will be the perfect fit for the weddings that I'm coordinating this coming year! I can now put myself in the bride's shoes and know the emotions that she is going through and am happy to be that one person that can alleviate the stress and be assistance at the wedding so she can enjoy her day as a bride!

I haven't received the photographers pictures yet, but here's one that a friend took! What a fun, amazing and perfect day! I'm so happy that I am now married to my best friend and wake up next to him every morning - it's a dream come true!

Our wedding..
Mr and Mrs in Maui

DIY - Dessert/Beverage Napkins

I never planned on getting napkins made because it's not in my budget to spend $75-100 on 300 napkins. My reception site provides napkins and that would work for me... until... I stumbled upon this craft on WeddingBee and thought it was too cute and simple to pass up!
1. I made up a design with a seller on Ebay (he lives in Malaisa I found out) http://stores.shop.ebay.com/loongchai74__W0QQ_armrsZ1
My stamp cost $5.50 and the shipping was $2.00
2. I bought water-proof and dye resistant ink from Hobby Lobby for $2.99 (50% week!) and then packs of 50 napkins from Hobby Lobby for $1.99
3... I stamped away!












Total Price = $22.50
Cost per Napkin = 7 cents

DIY - Water Bottle Labels

This is a little thing I'm doing just for fun. Not necessary at all ... but just a fun touch on the day of the wedding! The bridal party will have access to these water bottles before the ceremony.

Calligrapher - Amazing Prices!

Want to add a little touch to your invites but found that the price of a calligrapher is just ridiculous? Well.. I've got the person for you :)

My calligrapher is a full time teacher but enjoys the art of calligraphy on the side. She charges 25-50 cents per envelope (most people charge a $1-$3 per envelope). Ask me for her email address and so you two can talk!

She sent me a few made-up samples of fonts she does... I am going with this one. I think it's beautiful!

DIY - Favor Bags

We are going to have bubblegum balls in a big glass vase at the exit of the reception. So, we needed favor bags. And being Brigette - I wanted to make them!

1. I went to Michaels with my 50% off coupon and bought two 50 packs of organza white bags for $10 a set.
2. You also need white ribbon ( the same color and width as the ribbon on the bag), super glue, two colors of paper, a whole punch (either 1/16th hole punch or 1/8th punch), and a die cut of whatever you want (I used 1 and 1/2 inch scallop edge), and a monogram stamper (can be purchased for $12 at Hobby Lobby with 50% off or you can print off your letters.. whichever!)
3. Take your die cut and cut out however many circles you want for your bags.
4. Stamp your die cut
5. Glue the backing color to the stamped paper.
6. Hole punch the top of the scallopped edged papers.
7. Lace ribbon through hole.
8. On the right side of the organza bag with be a tied bow and a loop touching the bag. Pull out the loop (which will in turn make the other side's tied bow come in) and put the laced ribbon through it.
9. Super glue the two ends.
10. Your done! By putting the monogram around the loop, the monogram will go to the center when your guests close their bags!

Total Cost= about $35
Price per bag = 35 cents (I only made 100 because there's normally not very many people left by the end!)

DIY - Bridesmaids' Hangers

I love love love making crafts! And, since I send this blog to potential Bride-to-Be clients, I thought these crafts might be useful.

A Fun, Cheap, Bridesmaid Gift:
Monogrammed Hangers

1. I got 2 packs of IKEA white, wood hangers. They are like $3 a pack, or something like that.
2. Find a font that you like on Word and print it off in size 100 or s0.
3. Cut out the letters in a box.
4. Color the back of each letter with a pencil.
5. Place the penciled side on the hanger with the printed letter facing you. Tape the paper in place.
6. Outline the letter with a pencil.
7. When you remove the paper, there will be an outline of the letter. Go over/color in the letter with a permanent market.

And VOILA! You are finished!! And then they can have beautiful hangers to place their beautiful bridesmaids dresses on.
