we have both always adored this time of year, and this holiday, & so we had our own fun handmade wedding party a few years ago at thanksgiving!
at our own DIY wedding, we tried to have as many fun fun handmade elements as we could: we celebrated outdoors at a family farm. we had a delightful homemade potluck. ( you KNOW how i love potluck parties!), we played around a funfun bonfire. we danced to the music crafted by our wonderful family members. we played as many fun handmade games & activities as we could on our wedding weekend, and at the wedding! the flowers, the decor, the thank you treats, the invites , the *everything-we-could* was handmade. yay handmade!
so in honour, today i'm launching a fun new challenge for you, lovely rikrak studio readers! i'll calling on all of you to submit a fun idea for the upcoming posts to do with my favourite time of year - and favourite wedding time of year - the lovely autumn.

To me the fall is all about yummy colors - some neutral, like taupe and others poppy, like pumpkin orange. I designed this birdcage veil with a modern fall bride in mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting out this call - I love weddings!!

I also made a friend's feather headpiece for her wedding and I just wrote about it on my blog.

Kristal, your wedding photographs are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that they are not posed shots & you can actually feel the joy & happiness!
Congratulations on your recent wedding anniversary!
We are helping our daughter plan her wedding next August; it's been lots of fun so far as she is keeping it fairly small & like yours lots of personal touches are planned.
Here are a few of my cards that could be customized (including changing the color of the stamps)for either 1) Save the date cards 2) We're engaged 3) Congrats 4) Bridal showers.

Oh, your wedding sounds like it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI had a customer buy this rebound journal to use as a guestbook at their wedding:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=14408077
What a fabulous idea! I'm getting hitched in a mere 11 days (youpi!) but am no where near an autumn theme... despite my mum centerpieces, which I don't yet have photos of!
ReplyDeleteBut if I were going eathy tones and pumpkins, I'd love to wear these on my ears:

And maybe these on the table:

And what doesn't scream fall like candy?! These fun DIY bags could be done up in any colour - filled with your favorite penny {or Halloween!} candies: http://designedbyrj.blogspot.com/2009/08/bride-on-budget-sweet-favors.html
Can't wait to see what you pull together!
What a lovely idea! Happy Anniversary, too!
ReplyDeleteI've made beeswax candles for an October wedding for the reception tables (& for the most moving funeral I've ever attended). The bride wanted to be sure that everything at her wedding was non-toxic. Smallbones candle link: http://bit.ly/MFIuU

Back in the day at my wedding (1972), all the bridesmaids made their dresses. Each one was a different color. "Rainbow" weddings were the thing back then. LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, here are links to some cabbage rose brooches I have made from some really beautiful antique moire ribbon. Can't you just see them embellishing all kinds of beautiful wedding accessories?
