Posted on December 28th, 2009 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself.


This year we have been blessed with some amazing DIY creations on Project Wedding! Here are my top five for 2009!

5. The Vintage Cake Topper Spread – I love anything vintage, especially the idea of a dessert table with these cute cake toppers. That way you get more cake flavors to enjoy as well!

4. The Bridesmaid Guide — What a helpful tool, and so pretty too!

3. Succulent Favors — eco-friendly and too cute!

2. The Story Line — Let your guests jot down sweet notes on a whimsical “story” line at your wedding.

1. The Old Fashioned Soda Bar – This adds so much color and playfulness to any event! When I first saw these photos, I was so excited. I knew it was going to be a popular idea!

These tasty thank you’s are cute and won’t break the bank! You can add an extra special DIY component by making the labels yourself — and even stitching the parchment paper together with a coordinating thread color. See the sweet project here!

My fruit-inspired posts continue, and this time it’s all about pears. Enjoy pears as a centerpiece, place settings or even ship them to your folks for the holidays! My mom looks forward to the royal riviera pears from Harry & David every year! See more pear inspiration here!
