August 2012 Weddings

DIYs and Hair (PIP)

Here are various photos I have been meaning to share from the past month or so. 

Here is the style I had done at my trial. The little colored pins were just for reference. I have a green hair pin that is going there instead. I am planning to put a hair piece on the left side, since that's the side without the curls.
 

These are my DIY wedding favors, which we finished back in June:



 

Cardbox:


My bouquet:

 
This was actually the second version. The first one looked nice, but it was way too big, so we had to take it apart and start over. I just have to finish the bouquets for the bridesmaids, which should be easier since they aren't getting the paper flowers, crystals, or shiny black petals in theirs.

That's it for now!

    Wow, everything looks great.  Congrats on all of the checks!
  • I really like your hair.  I've been debating going with a side swept style versus an updo.  I was leaning towards updo, but now I'm not so sure!  Beautiful and congrats on the DIY!

  • Thanks mt! When she first started, she started to do a full updo that would have resulted in that plastic-y look, but I told her I wanted something that looked more "me," and after a few clarifications, this came out. I'm very happy with the results. :)

    Thanks! I've gotten so many great compliments on it from all of our friends.

    Also, I just noticed in your wedding preview the bracelet cuff thing in the top corner. I just ordered one of those, too. Fingers crossed that it gets to me in time, but we'll see!

    Thanks! I don't normally wear my hair up that much, so I felt more comfortable with this style, since to me it feels like a nice balance of being pinned up but feeling covered by hair. :)
  • Love your hair!!!
