Sharing my DIY stuff here, hope thats ok :)

I know most of you here will appreciate this, ...I feel like us 2nd timers def bring a different element to the wedding planning table, especially when we are on a budget (which I know most of us are or were for our wedding  )

I've gotten pretty much everything done outside of a few of the ceremony details, deciding on my hairstyle, and choosing ceremony music (oh and writing vows).  We are moving this coming weekend, so I had a bigger time crunch than originaly anticipated but FI pitched in and we have gotten a bunch done.  Here are my DIY projects, oh and one of me in the dress second fitting (please ignore the pins/bunchiness around the top of the skirt as it is mid alterations), not wearing the crystal belt for ceremony btw

our card box: (vintage rock and roll theme with a few geeky things thrown in there)

   

our cake toppers (will have a marquee style sign above it that says DC Wonder Woman marries Marvel Captian America staring Chad & Christie)

the centerpieces for reception, these were a big pain in the rear at first , FI was drilling the bottles outside in the cold, breaking them a friend came over to help add WATER lol after that they went a lot quicker

bridesmaids bouquets

thats it lol I do have our sign in thumb print pic that is almost done, and a few things for the pews for the ceremony (will take me 15 minutes tops the morning of). I've really enjoyed myself, I love making things and all of this has been a labor of love, thank you for letting me share

LOVE your dress! You look amazing in it!

I also love and appreciate all your DIY stuff. I did a ton of stuff for our wedding and had a blast doing it all.

Good luck with your move, and the remaining plans/completion of DIY.
