I have 10 months until my wedding, and under 4 months until my first baby is born (yes! I'm pregnant!). I'm going to attempt to have as much of this list done as possible before my baby boy comes into the world. I want to be able to live those first months with my child as stress-free as possible while still planning a wedding.
Here's my tentative list of DIY wedding projects, which will also give you a hint of what's to come:
1. Will you be my bridesmaid? Cards: simple cardmaking, glittering
2. Blinging my bridal shoes: rhinestones and glue
3. Pocketfold Invitations: vellum over a photo, insert cards, belly band
4. Branch and Crystal Centerpieces: plaster of paris, spray painting, hot glue, tulle and ribbon
5. Cardbox: fabric, ribbon, chip board, hot glue
6. Bridal Earrings: sterling silver findings and pearl
7. Bridesmaid Earrings: sterling silver findings and pearl
8. Silk Bouquets: roses and cala lilies
9. Silk Boutonnieres: cala lilies

20. Decorating a Wagon: White satin/padding for wagon, ring bearer will pull 6 month old baby down the aisle?
