Brides, when your wedding journey is complete, you may find yourself at a loss. For months or maybe even years, your world has been a haze of wedding planning, wedding blogs, wedding magazines, Pinterest, RSVPs, mason jars, DIY experimentation, and so on and so on. And now, that’s all over. Your wedding day has come and gone - hopefully it was AWESOME. Hopefully, your special day was overwhelmingly special - and better than you ever expected it to be.

I'm big on DIY projects, and lately I've been seeing some fun ways to document your travels. I think it would make a great way to remember your honeymoon (if you're a country hopper like we were on ours) or if you just want to remember all the places you and your hunny have traveled while you've been together (something fun to display at your wedding!).
These particular projects are pretty easy, but if you feel like being lazy, just go ahead and order the personalized map from...

Have you thought about incorporating fruit into your wedding decor? It's an outside the box idea that can make your I Do's truly memorable, and it's easy to go beyond the centerpieces with fruity touches throughout (think escort card holders, wedding guest favors, even your groom's bout!). It's also a fantastic way to save on your wedding flower budget!

Etsy is just full of great vendors for your wedding, and many of them aren't even necessarily FOR your wedding, which makes them even MORE interesting in my eyes!
Edie's Lab is one of those shops....they create large scale initials that would be great for displaying at your wedding ceremony or reception, and then eventually to show off in your home. I love that they have a variety of fonts and colors to choose from, whether you're a modernist like me, or going for more of a...
