Kaitlin is one crafty bride, not only did she DIY those amazing Le Temps du Sucre-inspired invitations suites, but she also jazzed up tissue boxes for happy wedding tears.

I wanted to put out tissue boxes for guests to use during the ceremony, but I wanted to decorate them to match my wedding. They're easy and cheap to make! Here is a tutorial:

Wax seals lend a hand-made touch to invitations, place cards, and other paper-crafted pieces of a wedding. They’re also a simple but gorgeous way to seal your handwritten vows until ceremony time, or to close a love letter for your significant other, all super-romantic-like. Beautiful seals are available commercially and from various vendors on Etsy, but here’s a trick to making your very own at home with a small handful of supplies.

I made this centrepiece with a beachy theme for less than $5 NZ (approximately 3.90 US). If you're not having a beach wedding, think about this centerpiece in all black or a dark red for a goth wedding, or creating a steampunk version? The themed candelabra options are endless…

Snowglobes are super rad. I Iove making 'em just as much as I love shaking 'em. Here is a quick tutorial on waterless snowglobes. If you want to put water in your globes, Martha Herself has a tutorial. But here's how the Offbeat DIY Editor rocks her some Martha-inspired crafts.

She brought us the adorable kitteh wedding invitations, now she's here to school us all on how you can pull off a quilt as your wedding guestbook.

Celebrating New Year's Eve is super fun. Weddings are a celebration of something new as well. Why not inject your event with some holiday and/or New Year's excitement with these papier mache confetti balls!?

I have so many wintery wedding projects up my sleeve, but this week all my money for materials was zapped by those gifts I bought for my loved ones! Winter brides, you might be in the very same boat, so I decided to go with another cost-effective craft: paper snowflake boutonnieres.

Who knows where my love of midway illuminated lettering comes from, but it's definitely fed by my addiction to Disneyland. More specifically, the part of the park called "Main Street, USA," which consists of gift shops and ice cream parlors dressed up to look like an early 20th Century bustling downtown street on speed. Too shiny not to love. But I digress…

Typically an illuminated letter like this is made of metal, is very heavy and would cost you a pretty penny. I knew I wanted something to light up at my wedding, so I figured I'd make my own midway letters. You can too! And there are power tools involved!
