Book Cover & Bookmark DIY Project

This project is so clever…. and absolutely adorable! You and your fiancé can individually (or together) chose a favorite book and go to town.  If you don’t prefer the ‘favorite book’ idea you can use journals or mini photo albums! And, as with most DIY projects, you have full creative rein over what color and pattern you would like to use.  This is an excellent way to tie together your color palette  or add pops of color to your reception.  Do you want the bridal party to have a bigger size than the guests? What about a different color or a different book for the ladies than for the gentlemen?  You could give the individual families their own separate patterns….  You could even apply this same project to other parties or showers.  The possibilities are endless!    But perhaps what’s most fabulous about this project is that  it doubles as both a favor and a seating card!

Thanks to Twig & Thistle there is a Bookmark Template.  Full instructions here.

A Soft Palette: Blush & Sage

As we enter spring, pastels are popping up everywhere; your dogwood tree starts to bloom, bradford pears line the streets like rows of large cotton balls on sticks … cherry blossoms and red bud trees fill the parks with pink accents. IT’s a perfect setting to become inspired by spring. If you’re looking for a soft, natural palette blush and sage are two of the finest.

A Personalized Bridal Shower

A personalized gift oftentimes holds greater significance because it becomes specific to you. By taking this concept and applying it to a bridal shower you make the Bride To Be feel ultra special & honor her as an individual. Incorporating her soon-to-be last name will help those surreal feelings disappear.
