I'm helping with my best friend's wedding and found several projects that would be great for her..I also found a couple projects to do just because. I think we are going to do the memorial candles, but instead of "In Memory Of.." we will make smaller ones and use them as favors with a picture of the couple and the wedding date.

I really liked the way the author broke down each project's supplies, steps and even cost-especially comparing the cost to that of purchasing the exact same thing ready-made.

I think a lot of the projects will be good for future events too-like invitations and party favors.

In 2010 I planned my very, very DIY Christmas wedding. I consider myself a more-than-average crafty person and I was on a small budget what with my future-hubby in med school.

The thing I enjoyed most about this book, is the fact that it is broken down into themes. These themes include: Sun & Sand, Fairy-Tale, Exotic Destinations, Winter Wonderland, A Touch of Country, Bright Lights-Big City, Into the Garden, and New Modern.

In my opinion, every great wedding, birthday, graduation, etc. party needs a theme.

Since my theme was Christmas/Winter this book would have given me some good ideas. It was surprisingly hard to find Christmas themed wedding ideas.

Overall, I'd say the Sun & Sand theme had the crafts that I liked best/would have used if I'd been married at the beach. The seashell boutonniere and invitations were cute. To me it's the book's best and strongest theme.… (plus d'informations)
