After spying Donelle and Adam's glorious 8-Bit wedding, we fell head over heels for their DIYed Shrinky Dink boutonnieres, hair clips, corsages and "diamond" necklace. And we were downright impressed with the fact that Donelle came up with the idea and executed it to complete perfection!

Donelle, graphic design maven of 8 Bit Onion, was oh so kind as to give us a tutorial chock full o' pictures. Read up, DIYers… this is a how-to you're going to wanna see.

OBT member Gypsy Marie, aka. Cutiebookworm, and friends, have created some old-timey carnival cutouts for their October wedding. They used a book of circus art for inspiration and came up with these babies…

To tie in some themes from their wedding, the conjoined couple is wearing outfits similar to their wedding clothes, and the werewolf is holding a rubber ducky since they asked guests to draw a duck on their RSVP's.

OBT member Angie is a self-described "brew goddess, and competent bride-to-be" and she has shown off both of these attributes by homebrewing her very own pumpkin porter beer for her fall wedding! And she got her "Woman of Awesome" to illustrate the custom labels. How awesome is this!?

Cheers to you Angie. I bet your beer is going to taste as great as it looks, have one (or several) for me.

OBT members can check out a close up of the custom beer label here and everyone can check out her "Woman of Awesome's" Etsy shop with more custom illustrations here.

Forget rice! OBT member Michele has created a more colorful and fun alternative for guests to show their enthusiasm…

Michele explains, "So when all the guests are seated for the ceremony, the four members of our bridal party will pass out the 'yay' flags so everyone can wave them as they wish."

"I wanted to do them out of fabric and print the designs, but time did not permit. Instead, I used some old and slightly sun-faded construction paper and ran it through the printer. This way I was also able to include our names and the date on the back. And instead of gluing them together, I ran them through the sewing machine."

And I say, YAY for these Michele. And YAY for your wedding this Friday!
