Wedding Fridays | DIY List & Inspiration

Since we are less than 3 months till the wedding day, it’s high time to start some DIY projects! For my grandmother: DIY stands for do-it-yourself and more often than not allows the DIYer to save some moolah.  Not only will doing a lot of these projects cost less than purchasing off the shelves, it also allows for a lot of customization and will make our wedding unique to us. As a lover of lists and my infamous “weekend to-do lists”, I have, of course, created a list of DIYs for the wedding.  My plan is to focus on one DIY per weekend and share the results/mishaps on this blog.  With the help of my favorite new web tool, Pinterest, I have inspiration images to go along with my list.

THE DIY LIST:
1. perforated metal hurricanes
2. foam directional signs
3. sand/concrete buckets with poles for cafe string lights
4. ribbons oh my!
5. bunting or tassels for cake background decor
6. groomsmen boutonnieres
7. fabric table runners
8. ampersand for bride & groom chairs
9. succulents planted in mercury votives

Is your mind fluttering with do-it-yourself projects and happy inspirations now?  If you have a Pinterest account, you can always follow my account for lovely inspiration and prettiness! I previously saved all my favorite images from the web in folders on my browser, so needless to say, Pinterest rocks my world.  How do you find inspirational images? Blogs? Magazines? Perhaps art museums?
