Unity braid
FutureMrsJCG, on October 27, 2016 at 5:55 PM

Anyone else ever done a unity braid during the ceremony? I thought it was different and something we can hang instead of just sitting away and collecting dust.

Who has used their Cricut machine for wedding crafts? I'm looking for ideas to utilize my Cricut and hopefully save money.

DIY: flower girl baskets
NewlyWeducated, on October 20, 2016 at 11:42 PM

One of the worst sticker shock moments I had was shopping for flower girl baskets! Most of the ones I came across were $40+ each, they were awkwardly tiny, and not very cute. So I decided to...

Card Box Alternatives
