How did 17 months of engagement turn into getting married in three days??? And I thought I had so much time, but here I am, up til midnight every day this week, while FI is cool as a cucumber playing cards in the basement with his buddies. Jealous!!!
On a related note, my pregnant bridesmaid had her daughter Lily today around 3pm! Momma and baby are happy and healthy, besides a third degree tear that I won't go into details about - yeowch!!! She insists that she'll be at the wedding on Saturday, but I just want her to do what's best for her so we'll see how she is feeling. What a trooper!!
Okay, here are some DIY and some not-so-DIY details
Shutters will be used to hang the placecards! I bought these off Craigslist and painted them white - also painted the letters navy - just simple spray paint.
Jars with e-pics (there will be three jars on each table, one will have an e-pic in it, the other will be a number with lemons inside and the third will have a candle). My mom helped me hot-glue ribbon to the tops of all the jars.
Painted the numbers on with a Sharpie Paint and a stencil - so easy!
Cake plates with candlesticks glued to the bottom (used epoxy, it yellows if you use too much so I had to do these a few times before I got it right!)
My jewelry - earrings were not DIY'd by me, but by fellow knottie drdfabio! Necklace is antique.
