As we skirt through
wedding season, I've given you some DIY suggestions like
wine glass candle lampshades and
a DIY wedding book, but of course, I know there's plenty more to offer in that department. So for this
Open House, I'd love to hear about any types of wedding décor you've seen DIY'd or that you've handmade for your own weddings.
Have you been to an entirely DIY wedding?

One place where I splurged when planning my wedding was designing and ordering custom postage stamps. Since I'd put so much time into
designing my invitations, I didn't want to muck up the pretty envelopes with the pink, overly saccharine Love stamps that were my option from the USPS (plus the pink stamps would clash horribly with my celedon green envelopes). Instead, I decided to design postage stamps through
Zazzle, which has partnered with the USPS to provide stamps to folks who are interested in designing them to mark special occasions or to just add a little bit of fun to a letter.

If you're looking for a more organic way to display photos at your wedding reception then steal this idea, which I found in wedding photographer
Elizabeth Messina's portfolio. Just wrap a tree snugly with twine and clothespin photos to it. It would even look cuter with some
custom clothespins.

When I moved in with my fiancé, I had some artwork and furniture that he simply refused to have moved into our house, citing them as either too colorful or girly. And on his end, there was some furniture that was too dull and bachelor pad-esque for my tastes. So, to appease each other, we had to get rid of those items.

Unfortunately, just because you're holding your wedding ceremony in the great outdoors that doesn't mean your celebration is good for the planet. If you want some ideas for cutting down on the environmental impact of your big day, take a look at my tips.
