One of the great misconceptions about DIY weddings is that they’re somehow unglamorous, even tacky, affairs. Pshaw, I say! As you’ve seen here, at DIY Bride, (and at the growing number of DIY blogs popping up) do-it-yourself weddings can be gorgeous, elegant and utterly fabulous with a little effort and the right resources. Finding those resources – and sharing them with you – is something I love to do.
Imagine my delight when the team at Preston Bailey contacted me to introduce Preston’s first product for us, the DIY crowd. Inspired by his love of empowering couples to do-it-yourself, Preston is offering a complete how-to guide and resource manual to create the Wedding Bell, this stuning table setting from his book “Celebrations”. Can you believe this look is achieved by using paper? Genius!
On April 06, 2009, Preston will offer a limited number 1,000 of copies of Wedding Bell for sale to the public. To celebrate the product’s launch, DIYBride readers are being offered a generous 15% discount! Please use discount code DIYBRIDE.

I absolutely love it when readers share the details of their DIY weddings! Elka from CasaSugar was kind enough to share two slideshows with us from her bridal shower and wedding. Both are casual, unique events that are beautiful and environmentally-friendly to boot.

I’m very proud to be featured once again in Modern Bride magazine. Please check out the August/September 08 issue on page 178 for the complete instructions to make your own fresh flower ring pillow. This was one of my favorite projects in the whole DIY Bride book.

While I personally love creating small treat boxes I don’t post many here because I know that, for most couples, cutting out and assembling 100+ boxes can be a real drag. In most cases it’s just easier to buy pre-assembled boxes.
When I can share treat packaging that requires little cutting and easy assembly, I’m all over it. To the blog I go! And, well, here I am with this easy treat basket. Ok, it’s not a box but it’s a great way to present Jelly Bellys, chocolates or other small munchies. It takes about 3 minutes to cut and assemble and you can get 4 baskets per 1 sheet of 12″ x 12″ scrapbook paper.
