DIY Bride™

Fab Finds Friday is a weekly showcase of some of the fabulous resources available to the wedding community. This week’s wedding goodness is for our Vancouver, BC-area readers. (Vancouver is one of my favorite cities in the whole world, by the way.)

Are you decorating-challenged but want to decorate your (or someone else’s) wedding? You’re in luck, my Vancouver friends. The Wedding Decorators are offering how-to instruction beginning in November. Courses will include:

• Decorate a head table
• Cake table decor
• Backdrops
• Bouquets, bouts, and other florals

Finding that perfect centerpiece seems to be one of the biggest design dilemmas couples face in the wedding process. I know Mr DIYB and I agonized over ours (ok, I did most the agonizing…) before we decided to do a cupcake display on each table.

One of my favorite blogs to visit, Bellissima Vita Weddings, has a wonderful feature called “Centerpiece of the Week“.  Lisa’s picks are fresh, fun, elegant. If you’re looking for gorgeous, unique centerpiece inspiration you must visit! (And do check out the rest of the blog – it’s fabulous!)

Fab Finds Friday is a weekly showcase of some of the fabulous resources available to the wedding community. This week’s wedding goodness is LimoncelloSTYLE’s DIY Rescue.

I am so excited to see this service alive and available in our crafty wedding community!

I did DIY finishing services up until a couple of years ago and was bummed that there weren’t others out there to fill the void when I had to stop. When Miriam from LimoncelloSTYLE contacted me about her rescue services, I did a little happy dance.

DIY Rescue is pretty much what it sounds like: someone will bail your butt out of a craft problem. If you find you’re out of time, out of patience, or have otherwise worked yourself into a DIY dilemma LimoncelloSTYLE can take those projects off your hands and do them for you.

Miriam specializes in stationery but can handle lots of other projects. She can do full design and creation or assembly and all of the repetitive “grunt” work that you’d like to get rid of. Need STD magnets made? Invitation assembly? Out-of-town bags put together? No problem!

Prices are negotiable, depending on the project(s), and she takes clients at any time during their process. (That means last minute emergencies are welcome if she has the availability.)

Fab Finds Friday is a weekly showcase of some of the fabulous resources available to the wedding community. This week’s wedding awesomeness comes from HJK Imports’ eBay Store recommended to me by my friend Geralyn from Red Carpet Events in Chicago.

If you’re in a situation where you can’t rent glass vases for your reception (a common DIY problem), do check out HJK Imports. They offer nearly every imaginable size and shape of vase (plus lots of rocks, gems, and other inserts) at wholesale-to-the-public prices. You’re sure to find some nifty container for your centerpieces or candy buffets.
