    I haven't had a ton of time to think about this but off hand I can think of 3 smaller decor things I'm doing.

    Door monograms for entry into the venue. I'm thinking something like this but will probably paint them a different color or wrap them in fabric to make them a little more fun:


    I also want bride and groom signs for the back of our chairs at the reception but I haven't found any I like yet. I would like to just buy them off Etsy but may make them myself. I also like this, though, so I may see if I can buy an ampersand at Michaels and paint it.


    There are picture rails above the sign in table in the entry way to the reception so we're planning to bring a lot of photos (some old, some new) and candles. I also want to make signs like the one below where the bride and groom each wrote 20 things they love about each other and dispaly them. 


    I also want to do something cute with some of the candles we'll display near the sign in table but I'm not sure what.

    EDIT: I also want to do a card box but am kind of stuck on that.

  • I think my fave will be our personalized window decal for our rental SUV...It says just married in a cool font with our names and wedding date. It will be a cute touch when we are driving the 5 hours up to California to go skiing (ordering off etsy)

    I also did a DIY cardbox...and the I think the gift bags for all the guests at the rehearsal dinner will be a nice touch too.

    Besides that I haven't done much in decoration...it is really hard for a destination wedding. It will already be alot to ship the cardbox and gift bag favors!

  • I did a bunch of little things (some original, others not so much), although there are still a few more in the back of my mind I may or may not end up doing.

    What I've done so far...
    - DIY card box
    - DIY table numbers
    - DIY bar signs (technically not completed yet)
    - DIY door signs (for the suites we're getting ready in)
    - DIY J and B tissue pomander type letters to hang outside the castle
    - DIY tears of joy packages and layered programs (although not that unsual)
    - DIY decorated baskets for the programs, tears of joy, and bathroom
    - flower petal design going down the aisle on top of the aisle runner (although, I guess I'm not technically doing this, my coordinator is)
    - fun props for the photobooth
    - well wish table rather than the typical photobook
    - chair sashes (tied to the side, super cute)
    - aisle pomanders

    What I want to do, but not necessarily a requirement...
    - sign that hangs from the table for the candy buffet, but I have a picture frame I love for the same purpose, still debating which to do
    - thank you sign for pictures
    - just married sign (this will depend on what we end up driving away in)

  • I feel like I need more "little things"  !!  

    Mr. and Mrs. signs from Etsy..

    I got personalized table numbers that say our names and "lucky in love" with shamrocks for the tables...

    I got place card holders that have gold cladaughs on them...

    My card box was my sisters (she got married in October), but I am going to change up the flowers on it to make it my own.  It was from Marha Stewart, so you can decorate it yourself!

    My "guestbook"  is artwork that my Uncle designed...I have to take it to Kinko's or Staples to get printed.  It's a tree with lots of leaves that guests can sign inside the leaves! It's so cute :)  Once that is done, I will be framing it!
