Perfect Picnic

Check out this oh so cute picnic box that would be perfect for a casual summer wedding.  Just because you opt for a casual or midday celebration doesn't mean you have to skimp on the details.  This is a fantastic DIY project with an end result that is sure to delight all those in attendance.  To get the step-by-step instructions on how you can create your own, swing on over to project wedding.

I think this would be perfect for a low key summer wedding in Banff, Canmore or Lake Louise with the beautiful mountains as your back drop.

Whimsical DIY Inspired Wedding Ideas

If all this winter weather has you dreaming of warmer, brighter days then perhaps you'll enjoy these images that I think are just perfect for those looking for both simple DIY wedding ideas as well whimsical wedding elements to incorporate into their special day.  If not for your wedding then perhaps a birthday party, baby shower or other upcoming celebration.  

How cute would these DIY Pinwheel Seating Cards be stuck upright in a tray of grass?  Visit Vintage Glam Weddings for step-by-step instructions and to download the template.

Check out these delightful flowers.  These would be a simple DIY flower project.  You can grab shot glasses (to use as mini vases) as well as the taller slim vases at the dollar store making this a super affordable project.  Add some coordinating ribbon from your local craft store and viola, you are done!  Flowers can be ordered inexpensively from places like COSTCO or even your local super market.
