Throughout the summer, we followed Emily, our in-house bride, as she crafted for her wedding. She lifted the veil on DIY weddings, sharing innovative projects from a wine cork bulletin board to vintage escort tags to postcard table placards and more. Emily was married on September 4, 2011, in Sandy, Utah, and as promised, she is providing us with photos of her handmade wedding crafts from the big day.

DIY Wedding Series: BONUS
Friday, October 14th, 2011DIY Wedding Series Part 3: Table Numbers
Friday, August 19th, 2011Russell and I love to travel, and have done a lot together in our six years as a couple. And while surfing The Knot for ideas, I came across these adorable postcard table placards. As I wanted them to fit my “theme,” I changed the idea to vintage postcards.
DIY Wedding Series Part 1: Wine Cork Bulletin Board
Friday, August 5th, 2011My fiancé and I ultimately decided that we wanted a sit-down lunch for our wedding reception. Okay, I suggested it and he wisely chose not to argue. Thus, the need for a seating chart and escort tags was created. But before I go into my escort tags (they’re not done yet—I’m still waiting on RSVPs) I want to show off my escort tag display. Thank you to my bridesmaid who had this idea.

Free Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Mask from EcoBeauty
Friday, October 30th, 2009
My favorite holiday dessert is pumpkin pie. Pumpkin is very nourishing to the skin. It contains powerful antioxidants as well as alpha hydroxy acids, so it sloughs off dead skin while protecting the underlying layer and helping it retain moisture. This is a great mask for the fall and winter months, when your skin may need some good exfoliation and protection from the cold weather. Plus, it makes a fun Halloween or Thanksgiving gift. Package it in a small jar with a simple bow and a small note of thanks. It’s perishable, so store it in the refrigerator and tell the person who receives it to do the same.
