DIY Arch
Chloe, on August 16, 2017 at 12:51 PM

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has made their own arch for the wedding. I can't seem to find one that I like and would rather make my own at this point. Any tips or help would be great!

Ring box?... More like Coffin.
Sparky_B, on September 6, 2017 at 7:17 PM

Music at a park
Paola, on August 31, 2017 at 1:30 PM

We're planning on having our ceremony at a park. Any diy ideas for music? The ceremony won't be long at all so I don't see a need for the DJ to have to go all the way out there too.
