I'm engaged! That's right, brides! I'll be tying the knot this summer (Just a few months from now!) and I absolutely cannot wait! Wedding planning so far has been an incredible experience -- as I'm sure it's been for all of you! As an editor here at WeddingChannel.com, I basically eat, drink and sleep weddings these days, whether I'm at work or at home -- but don't think that means I'm done with everything months in advance! I'm working on a bit of a budget and taking on lots(!) of DIY projects myself, so I thought I'd start posting a few things here as well as Tweeting about my big day on our WeddingChannel Twitter page. I'll kick things off by telling you a little bit about my wedding and the mood I'm hoping to capture. Like a lot of DIY-ers I'm all about vintage, unique and handmade pieces (Etsy could be my middle name). We're holding a small ceremony in one of our best friend's back yard and all of those decorations (including our flowers!) are DIY. Our reception is going to be at the gorgeous Prospect Park Boathouse in Brooklyn, NY and I'm really going to embrace the turn-of-the-century look our venue offers. All of our bridal party attire is classically inspired and we're even having a live jazz band! Some of the DIY projects that I've been working on (along with help from my amazingly creative mother) include hand-sewn napkins for our reception dinner, adding hand sewn embroidery to my flower girl's dress, making some pretty cool fabric streamers for the ceremony and some gorgeous nature-inspired table seating cards. My fiance, who's been pretty involved in the wedding planning, and I also have a few tricks up our sleeves for our rehearsal dinner. I'll be posting some of these projects along with other questions and thoughts here and on Twitter. So now you tell me, if you're wedding is just around the corner, what's going through your head right now? And what kind of projects are you working on? Share your thoughts below! -- WC Amy 3 comments | post a comment

My wedding is on the 24th of April (just 23 days away!!). Things are feeling slightly crazy, but I'm also really excited for the day to come. My big DIY project is origami. I'm making a bunch of tiny origami flowers, cranes, etc. to scatter on the reception tables. We'll also put one on top of each guest's cupcake. They'll double as favors for people to take with them if they want. It's lots of work, but lots of fun to make!
