diy wedding!

worth it to check out this site for all the diy's they did! so etsy!
http://www.mywedding.com/navarros/index.html

Hi everyone,

I would have to say that my favorite part of the wedding was the DIYs. Because it really feels great when you accomplish a project. It also lets you be creative and it was great bonding times for us. My husband was very much active in all the wedding preparations and DIYs. I so miss it already. Wish my sister would get married na. Hahahaha.

We had a lot of DIY projects as we had a very limited budget. Here's a list of them and how much we spent on them (at least those I was able to track). Our friend, our coordinator, however would not let us pay her for the materials of the DIYs she made so I don't know how much they are. She "says" she just got the materials at home anyway.

Hopefully, this might help someone in planning their DIYs.

Pics of our DIYs at our wedsite.

- Invitations - 70pcs - approx. P1000 (my sis did not charge us for using her printer/ink)
- Misalette covers - P82.50 (my sis did not charge us for using her printer/ink)
- Cord (made by our coordinator)
- Arrhae - P18 (we used a small black bowl to put the coins in)
- Garter - husband made one by sewing a garter and silk ribbons. he found instructions on the web. but our coordinator bought one so we used that one instead.
- Hairpiece (made of 3 ribbon roses we sewed-suppossedly for our bouquet photobooth prop. but we liked the pompom bouquet more so we ditched the ribbon bouquet project)
- Bouquets / Boutonierres - approx. P4000 (i knew we wouldn't save much here but i really liked the concept so we still did it anyway. and buying my dream bouquet from etsy.com would have cost me 5K plus shipping anyway. plus we all get to keep our bouquets. mine sits in a glass in our dining table)
= 7 ento bouquets (used felt cloth, wire, buttons, ribbons and wrapping tissue)
= 1 bridal bouquet (same concept with ento bouquet)
= 10 boutonierres (used cardboard, black gift wrappers, silver wrapping tissue, buttons and wire)
- Church decorations
= pompoms (made by coordinator- made with japanese paper and wire)
= candles - 2pcs for ceremony and aisle luminaries - P373 (also includes the floating candles used in the reception)
= candle holders of luminaries (brought by our coordinator)
- Reception decorations
= black origami cranes - 70pcs - P280
= small glasses - 16pcs - P288
= glass vases - 7pcs - approx. P1050
= black branches - 3bunches - P450
= black table runner - 7pcs - P300 for the cloth and P700 for the sewing
= pebbles for vases - half sack - P175
= bride/groom placemats - 2 pcs - approx P100 (scrapbooking paper)
= placecards / escort cards
= registration table decorations (made by our coordinator)
= "D" and "J" styro letters (made by our coordinator- made with styro, black paint and flower paper cutouts)
= pompoms (made by our coordinator- made with japanese paper and wire)
= table numbers (made by our coordinator- made with felt paper)
- Photobooth Props
= tarp background (P20 per sq. ft.)
= tiara (made using a "payneta", beads and clear string)
= 2 masquerade masks (made with black cartolina, special cardboard paper, silver wrapping tissue, fake feathers, ribbons and balloon stick)
= thin feather boa (bought as is)
= 3 mustaches (made by our coordinator- made with felt paper and clear drink stirers)
= white board - P100 (just added a black border of wrapping paper)
= giant bow tie (made with felt cloth and ribbons)
= paper bouquet (made by our coordinator- made with japanese paper, wire and wrapping tissue)
= 2 party hats (made with cartolina, crepe paper, ribbon and flower paper cutouts)
= paper lei (made with 2 crepe papers and thread)

I think the great thing about DIY, esp the decorations, is that you get to use them for your special day and still get your money's worth even after the event. I gave away the glass vases/pebbles/ black branches to my family and some of our friends. Everytime we visit my family, seeing the vases reminds me of our wonderful wedding. s

It's also really heartwarming to see other people's appreciation of your hard work. Like when we saw people keeping the black origami cranes and placecards we made as extra souvenirs. Or how they praised the decorations, invitations, bouquets and souvenir design. It really makes the experience exponentially even more special.

Thinking back, I wish we had more than 6 months to plan the wedding. It would have given us the time to have made even more DIYs, I had so many other ideas. Our schedule was so hectic that I had to do DIYs at work during lunch breaks. Plus, we were still making DIYs and last minute preparations until 2am of our wedding day - talk about crazy. When I was walking down the aisle, all I could think about is how tired and sleepy I was and hoping that my smile still looked good. Haha. Good thing that in the middle of the ceremoy, I forgot all about being tired and sleepy and started being excited.

Hopefully, someone might find this helpful or even encourage someone to do DIYs as well.

10 questions you never thought of asking

After a few months of wedding planning, you start to feel like a pro. You've already memorized all the in-season flowers, can name the top 20 wedding dress designers alphabetically and are on a first-name basis with every single member on staff at your reception venue. Still, there's bound to be a couple of questions that you forgot to ask. Let us help fill it in for you.

1. When should I take off my veil after the ceremony?

Everyone loves to talk about the veil, but nobody tells you exactly when to ditch it. While it's perfectly okay to wear the veil for the entire reception, there are two optimal times to take it off. The first is after the ceremony (have your hairstylist show a bridesmaid how to do this without messing up your 'do), and the second is after the first dance while your guests are eating. Once the veil's off, stick it in your bridal suite or have it "decorate" your chair.

2. How should our wedding party travel to the reception?

We bet you and your groom planned a perfect ceremony exit where you hop into a vintage Rolls-Royce and ride off to the reception. That sounds great, but yes, you're responsible for getting your wedding party there too. If you're going casual and want them to simply drive over, let everyone know this beforehand so they can carpool. Otherwise, rent a stretch limo, go vintage with a trolley or let them be kids again by cruising in a budget-friendly school bus -- of course, feel free to tag along for the ride!

3. Do I really need someone to hold my dress while I pee?

This depends on the dress. If you're wearing a full-length ball gown, you'll probably need an extra set of hands to help hold up the skirt while you do your thing. Trust us -- the cost versus the benefit on this is a no-brainer. But if you're sporting a silk sheath and a posse pee makes you cringe, go ahead and handle your own business. Another tip: There's a pee-ready Spanx designed with a hole in, well, just the right place. We'll stay classy and resist the oh-so-obvious dirty joke opportunity here.

4. Is there an appropriate way to kiss at the ceremony?

Remember the day he proposed, and you saw the ring and the tears in his eyes, and then you two started making out like maniacs? Yeah, don't do that. But your first kiss as a married couple doesn't have to be just a peck either. Do what comes naturally, as long as it doesn't involve visible tongue and last more than 10 seconds. Oh, and don't do the dip thing either -- unless of course you want to look like you belong in a Hugh Grant movie.

5. What exactly do the bride and groom do during the cake cutting?

The cake cutting typically takes place after dinner when your bandleader or DJ makes an announcement (you can also do this). If you have older guests who might be leaving early, do your cake cutting at the beginning of the reception just before the first dance. For the first cut, your groom's hands are placed over yours as you cut into the bottom layer of the cake. The groom makes the second cut solo and feeds the bride, and then it's your turn.

6. Where do I put my engagement ring during the ceremony?

Wear the ring on your right hand or have your aunt or grandma hold it. If you want to wear your engagement ring for the reception, put it on during the ride to your venue or just before being announced. For Jewish weddings, it's fine to wear your engagement ring, and then exchange stone-free wedding bands if you want to keep with tradition. Also remember: The band is usually worn closest to your heart on your left hand.

7. Who lifts my veil?

While more and more brides are wearing a veil flipped back for the entire ceremony or not wearing one at all, the most traditional bride still wears a veil over her face. If you like to keep things classic, there are two options. One is your dad lifts the veil when he gives you away, "revealing" you to the groom (like you really need help with that one). The other is for the groom to lift the veil just before the kiss.

8. What side are we supposed to stand on during the ceremony?

If you're in a church facing the altar, the bride stands on the left side and the groom on the right. Guests of the bride and groom should follow suit, sitting on the side of whoever they know best or are related to (hint: tell mutual friends to sit on the side that has less people). For Jewish ceremonies, it's the opposite.

9. What's the best way to greet guests if I don't want a receiving line?

Yeah, we get it -- you don't want to stand around after the ceremony in an assembly line. Instead, greet your guests during the reception by going from table to table during the first course. Just make sure you have time to eat too! Also, make a short speech thanking guests for coming and give a shout-out to vendors and parents (or anyone else who helped pay for your wedding!). While this moment with the mic shouldn't take the place of personal interaction with guests, it can be a great forum to let them know how much their support means to you.

10. Can I take my shoes off at any time during the reception?

We've all been to the wedding where guests cut loose on the dance floor and ditch the heels. But it's a little different when you're the bride -- especially if you're wearing a formal dress. Instead of going barefoot, bring a pair of flats for dancing. If you're getting married in the summer, have baskets of flip-flops in your wedding colors for your guests to slip into before they get down. There's one exception to the shoes-or-lose rule: beach weddings!

dress idea! for the bride part 2

This gown is from Ysa Makino. What I really like about this is the fact tha detaching the ruffled part of the dress from the body is something that can be achieved by the designer.

I really like the diore gown from the Fall 2008 Luxe collection from Pattis bridal. Check it out at...
