Sharing my DIY's

[Jenfur427]

Thanks to the lovely ladies on this board, these are what I've done so far. Pictured are my bouquet and boutonniers (both fake), our centerpiece, our favors, and my cake topper. Our colors are pink, white and black. The pink boutonniere is my DF's, the white is for my dad, and the other two are for my mom and grandmother. Let me know what you think!

Holy cow your bouquet is gorgeous!!!!! I love it all! :)

I am so stealing some ideas!!! I love your favors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also like how you added the marble at the bottom of the vase and also submerged the flower. It all looks very pretty.

[LILBOBO1980]

We don't have much time left!!!!! Are you stressing? What more do you have left to do?

[Jenfur427]

Right now I just have to make the chair decorations. I have 9 chairs to decorate (9 rows and I'm just decorating the end chairs) and 50 yards of 6 inch white tulle to use.

can i PLEASE know how you did the centerpieces? Also, where did you get those wonderful favor containers?

[Danielle9608]

Wow you did a really great job. Your wedding is going to be fantastic!

[Jenfur427]

Okay, for the centerpieces.

I got the vases at Garden Ridge for $1.97
Also got the black gems there for $2 a bag, one bag is enough for 2 vases
I actually got the orchid fake flowers at Walmart for $1.76 a stem. One branch is enough for 3 vases.

For the favors, I got the jars at Michaels. Originally $20 for 20 jars. However, there is a coupon for 40% or 50% almost every week in the sales flyer. If you get these jars, check to make sure all the containers are in good condition. The first package I checked had a crack in one of the jars. The stickers on the lids I got on Ebay for $5 shipped. 41 stickers came on one sheet. The M&M's I got from a candy shoppe. Cost me $8 per pound, took 3.5 lbs to completely fill all 40 jars.

Thanks for the compliments ladies! I was really worried that my wedding stuff would scream "home-made".

[Parhelion]

Seriously...all of this is phenomenal--and I can't believe the deals you got! Amazing, stunning, AWESOME work!

[firespirit]

All of it looks great!

Did you glue the flowers to the bottom to get them to stay for the centerpieces?

[Jenfur427]

Nope, didn't glue them. Once I submerged them, they stayed put.

[Rami]

love the favors!! cute jar!! I really like the bouquet too! was it hard to make?

[Jenfur427]

Bouquet was super simple. Fake flowers, pipe cleaners and a glue gun.
