Wedding Tip Wednesday

I spend most nights doing some sort of craft, since it's my favorite way to spend my alone time. My crafting kicks into high gear especially during the winter because I am not a fan of cold weather! Now that Pinterest has entered my life, I have no shortage of crafts to do. This tutorial popped up on my Pinterest home page about a month ago and I cannot wait to try it!

I LOVE blue mason jars but the real ones always seem to have a higher price tag at the antique and thrift stores I shop at. I've seen them as low at $7 to as high as $12, and since you can buy brand new clear ones for as low as $1 a jar, this tutorial is perfect for making cute decor on a budget! Making my own pretty blue mason jars (or any other color, as you'll see in the tutorial) is my idea of a perfect craft night. I think that these would be a perfect option for lining a ceremony aisle. You could fill the jars with flowers or even with candles! Or maybe on your cocktail tables and bars or even line a path outside with candles inside. So many things you can do with these. I'll be sure to share my results when I finish them! Do you have any crafts- wedding related or not- planned?

Must Have Monday

Aren't these pretty?? I think they would be great for not only a bride but for a group of bridesmaids that are looking for some glittery shoes to complete their looks! I stumbled across these on my search for shoes for the New Year's Eve Event that we have coming up. Now, I'm not an all-year-round glitter shoe person but something about the holidays and especially New Year's Eve screams glitter!! With a price tag of $675, this girl was back to square one. The other night while lying in bed and exploring Pinterest, I came across this pin:

I'm quite the crafty DIY person, so this is right up my alley! I plan on trying this tutorial on an older pair of shoes that I don't wear anymore. I'll share the results if I end up doing it. I think that this looks easy enough that even a beginner in crafts and DIY would be able to it. So if you've been trying to think of how to add sparkle to your wedding day ensemble or even for your bridesmaids or even for a night out, look away from breaking your budget on expensive shoes and try this out. And share pictures with us!!

Must Have Monday

Today's Must Have is a great hairstyle! It is definitely something that you may not think of right away; the venue, photographer and dress seem to trump the little details at the beginning. But once those things are set in place you should put some thought into your wedding day hairstyle. Do you want a super sleek look? Simple and chic or casual and ethereal? Up? Down? If you don't have a hair stylist in mind, ask your friends that have recently been married or have been in weddings, or your wedding planner, for recommendations. Try googling for images of hair styles or even look at wedding photographers websites for inspirations! Here are a few that I found on Style Me Pretty's Pinterest page. Whatever style you choose, be sure to have a trial (or 2!) to see exactly what it will look like on you!
