Here is another do-it-yourself tip from our wedding. My sister has two boys and I wanted them both to be in the wedding — so what to do? I thought about having them each carry a ring, but then I thought, why not make a cute sign for Nathan to carry before everyone walks down the aisle. I went to Marshall’s one day and found a sign that said something cheesy. I basically painted over it in white and then went to Michael’s and bought this saying. There were other sayings, but I felt like this one brought in the whole meaning of the day. “Duh, you’re here all because we fell in love. Now eat your cake.” My sister Kate is spatially more aware than I am, so she applied the letters perfectly. Joseph carried the ring box (and he was extremely happy about carrying a box that had flowers on it, as you can tell).

And below is the final representations of my speakeasy centerpieces.

With a few aptly placed feathers underneath and a few votives, our centerpieces made the mood.

I have loads of other tips for wedding day fun that I can’t wait to share more of!
