Handmade Weddings on The Storque!

April 1, 2008 at 8:18 am | In Crafts, Handmade Wedding, Vintage | No Comments

Just a quick, belated note that I wrote a short little piece for The Storque on vintage bridal style, for their Handmade Wedding series.
The Storque is Etsy’s ezine, and right now it’s full of ideas for DIY weddings. Reading about DIY weddings makes me want to throw more parties.
{And thanks to Rhiannon [...]

Handmade Wedding: The Photobooth

October 19, 2007 at 6:39 am | In Handmade Wedding | 5 Comments

Having a photobooth was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We hired the photoboof, who we’ve seen around at various SF events like the laughing squid party. They have a few models, including one that’s built onto a meter maid buggy and goes to Burning Man.
Anyway, the photoboof was [...]

Handmade Wedding: The Photos!

We’ve recently received our photos from the wedding from our amazingly talented photographer, Jillian Kay, and I had to share some of them with you.
Our wedding was pretty casual, but we did ask everyone to wear hats. We also had a photobooth, since we figured hats and photobooths were bound to be [...]

Ok, I didn’t make my own wedding cake. But we are lucky enough to have a very dear and generous friend who is also a pastry chef. Jojo was just amazing through the whole thing. And we are also lucky enough to have a couple of other friends who live nearby and [...]

Handmade Wedding: The Flowers

Ah, the flowers. What a pain in the ass. But I’m glad I did them!
I ordered the flowers from Fifty Flowers, who have very reasonable prices and were wonderful to deal with. They let me know that the flowers would need a few days to open, so I scheduled delivery three days [...]

Handmade Wedding: The Table Numbers

October 4, 2007 at 7:18 am | In Crafts, Handmade Wedding | No Comments

This idea came from my mom, who discovered a similar vintage display piece (for stockings!) at the vintage clothing expo in LA.
These were easy to make, and not as time consuming as I thought they’d be. Which is lucky, because I think I did them the day before the wedding.
I found the [...]

Handmade Wedding: The Runners

September 11, 2007 at 10:00 am | In Crafts, Handmade Wedding, Sewing | 2 Comments

I wasn’t really planning on making table runners. For the reception, we decided to push 4 rectangular tables together and serve dinner family style, which sounded so nice and casual and friendly until we realized that this would require renting many more tablecloths (both because pushing tables together means seating less seating at each [...]
