It was just the two of us and we had the best time talking about the upcoming wedding and the future Ryan and I would have together.  I never thought a little DIY project could be so much fun and so memorable!

I had many friends tell me not to do anything myself and to hire someone to help with everything. I can understand the convenience of this and see how loads of stress could be relieved, but that just wasn’t my style. I wanted my hands in everything. I wanted to look back at my wedding and know that Ryan and I pieced it all together. The little DIY projects were time we spent together and with our family and friends who were so generous to help!

If you are a crafty bride and are about to embark on a lot of DIY projects like I did, you should make sure to enter one of your ideas into the 2010 DIY Wedding Challenge. You never know… your seating chart creation could win you a $500 gift card! Have fun with your DIY projects – years down the road, they just may be what you remember most about your wedding planning.
