I have been crafting literally all weekend long, and my hands are about to fall off, but I can’t share any of the DIY goodness just yet! I’m making some super fun things for the {ELD} photo shoot this weekend, so I’ll have the DIYs for you shortly (complete with my horrible quality iPhone pictures).

I’ve been wanting to feature some of the DIY projects from my own wedding, but I unfortunately wasn’t thinking when I was making everything and didn’t take photos. So, I will have to re-make everything to provide you all with photos, but at least it will only be one or two things, not a million, so it’s simple enough!
 
For today I chose to do my table numbers, which I loved. I’m very much a lover of table numbers, which you will soon discover from the table number inspiration …

I’ve been super crafty recently, and since there are only 4-5 days until Christmas (depending on how you count), I thought I would share the DIY gift bags that I made! They’re fairly simple, and I think they look like something that you would buy in a store for a pretty penny…or two (or three or four hundred).
 
Note: Please forgive me for the bad quality iPhone photos. My 5 year old camera would not be any better than these.

Even though the holiday crafts are beckoning to me, I thought we needed some wedding related DIY goodness today. For some reason, I absolutely love table numbers, and when I saw these, I thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”
These illuminated table numbers were featured on the Intimate Weddings Blog and were made by Tuppence of Momfetti. Tuppence used these as her table numbers and they came out beautifully! The elegant paper combined with the glow from the candlelight adds instant intimacy to any event.

These tin can lanterns are perfect for a rustic outdoor wedding at any time of year. I can imagine these lanterns lining the aisle of an evening ceremony or the walkways outside of a reception, instead of using the paper luminaries that are commonly seen. They would be especially great now, since with the time change it’s now dark by 6:00 PM!
