October 7, 2006 is the day my hubby and I said I do. I’ve been a crafter/DIYer ever since I can remember and my wedding was no different. I did as much DIY creation as I could…invitations, pew bows, candles for unity candle, wedding favors, reception decor, bridesmaids tank tops…the list goes on. Way back then (lol I sound so old), Pinterest didn’t exist. The Knot had just come out (or wasn’t all that old). And magazines were the go-to resource. Oh how we’ve come a long way. 😉
So, if I were to get a do-over for my wedding, these Pinterest Wedding DIY posts are where I would start….
My previous theme was Hot Pink & Black (are you surprised?? LOL I think not!) 😉 My dress was a gorgeous satin A line with a fitted bodice and a cathedral train (you can see a pic in it from this post). We wed in a church and had our reception in a random event rental building. I still adore my dress, but for the sake of a fictitious do-over, I’d go with the dresses I’ve linked to below. My new theme would be Rustic Chic. I’d host it in a barn somewhere. And it would still be a Fall wedding. And I would still DIY every thing I could! Take a peek at the inspiration I found for my new Pinterest Wedding DIY.

Thank your for Sharing these great ideas at Share It One More Time…Tammy
Well, I’ve had 4 weddings, and they were all purple. First and third, and fourth, I did all the bouquets,and button holes. (Lots more first time than the others!!) Hair wreaths, and fabric roses for the rice for the first.
How old am I that we could still throw rice??
A perfect Pinterest wedding! How cook would that be?! Thank you for sharing this at the #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup!
Great ideas!. Pinned and tweeted. Thank you for bringing this to our party and we hope to see you on Monday at 7 pm. Lou Lou Girls
Nice collection of wedding tips! Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – we love partying with you! Hope to see you next Friday. 🙂

What a fun idea! I got married just one weekend after you it seems, and I know my vendors would have hated me if Pinterest was around back then. Most people say they never want to go through the wedding planning process again, but I’ve already told the Husband I would do it over and over again because I have so many ideas that I would love to incorporate! Love your rustic chic theme…that “Our Story” wedding alone was gorgeous!
Amazing to think back to a time when Pinterest didn’t exist! But it is so true, the things I would have done differently, we all would have. Enjoyed the post. Thanks for sharing with us at Snickerdoodle Sunday!
