Our Wedding: DIY Projects (Picture Heavy!)

Hi Ladies!
My husband and I did a lot of DIY projects for our wedding with the help of my wonderful MOH, her husband aka GM and brother in law aka best man.

Here are some pro pics of it!

Flowers: Our bouquets & boutonnieres

Gerbera Daisy Bouquets in the vases we made from recycled wine bottles we cut then dipped in red paint to protect the sharp edges:

We've been making our own homebrew for about 2 years now. So for our wedding we concocted a Pilsner infused with some citrus for a light summery drink. Labels were designed by me then printed at home onto self stick labels. :D

Re: Our Wedding: DIY Projects (Picture Heavy!)

wow. you did an amazing job but I havta tell you, if I went to a wedding and the bride and groom MADE their own home brewed ale, beer or wine, I'd be scamming everyone for their favors to take home! lol

that's really just very unique and cool.

haahha. We actually had a couple friends who left their brew on the table at the end of the night. They immediately FB'd us to let us know and ask that we hold on to it for them! Too funny.

Thanks for the kinds words!
