DIY Bride | Martha Stewart Weddings

Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, just released their DIY issue this month! So once you are through reading this, you should probably go get your very own copy, if you haven't already! They even have the very first digital version available, for you iPad and Tablet lovers out there! 

I flipped through the pages, scouring for the perfect thing to share with you lovelies. One thing that I absolutely adore about Martha is she walks you through thing step-by-step. It doesn't get any better than that, people! You will never leave her website, or close the pages of her magazines without knowing exactly what to do for your project! 

MarthaStewartWeddings.com  also has a spectacular feature section of DIY customizable printables for everything from favors, to signs, to table numbers...etc. I chose some of my favorites to showcase here! I hope you take the time to take a look at all the great DIY's though! :]

1. Beach Patterned Fresh Fruit Wraps

I had to share this! It is just such a trendy idea! Plus, how could I pass up sharing that beautiful Florida Orange!? The pdf for these cute wraps, is recommended to be printed on Rice Paper. All of the details for this DIY Project can be found here!

2. The "Kiss Invitation"

I remember coming across this in MS magazine once, not too long ago. I also remember being in love with its quirky style and fun elements. If you feel the same, and want to borrow this idea for even a Shower, or Bachelorette party, it is completely customizable! All of the details can again be found here! Trust me it is really that easy!

3. Motif Program Covers

The very first impression your guests have when they arrive at your ceremony is the program that just got handed to them. It is important that they look good, and do not become an afterthought, if you do decide you are having one. This DIY cover is easy to customize, and it gives options for the emblem you can chose. The last step is printing it on whatever cardstock that suits your wedding's theme! Folding and tying it with some lovely ribbon or twine is all you have left to do and Viola! All of the details can be found here for this DIY project!

4. Mini Barrels of Matches, Favors 

his was a Martha Stewart DIY that immediately caught my eye! Matches are still given at weddings, even if they are just at the bar. They are a token that people can almost always find the use for! The labels, and tops for these match barrels are all easily customizable by pattern and initial! It is such a fun way to do the typical matches, and your guests will ADORE them! Just like me! All of the details for this project can be found here! Also, the little barrels can be found at Favors and Flowers!

Enjoy, lovelies! 

DIY Glitter Soles! Make your wedding shoes SHINE!

It's Tuesday-Shoesday at White Blossom, and this is one you certainly do not want to miss! After coming across this in my weekly wedding trend perusing, I knew it was something I had to share with all of you lovelies. This is one way to make your Wedding Shoes SHINE, without overdoing it! Take a look! :]

1. Here's what you need! Loose Glitter, Sponge Brushes and Decoupage! Martha Stewart has a special place in my heart, and I have always sworn by her products. However, you can certainly use Modge Podge or Tacky Glue, and any brand of glitter if you'd like. 

2. Mix Glue and Glitter






3. Start painting the Glitter/Glue combo onto the sole of the Shoe. To be safe, you can use painters tape around the edge, just to ensure you don't make a mess of the shoe :] After you brush the glitter/glue on, sprinkle on the loose glitter. 





4. Lastly, Touch-up! Take a small paint brush with the glitter/glue and touch up the edges! And after all the sparkles have dried, it is important that you put a layer of clear sealant over the sole. This can be done with Martha's decoupage or Modge Podge! I would even suggest getting paint on glitter. It has been a great sealer in many of my glitter-fied projects! (Martha makes the best!)




Before/After! Fabulous, Righttttt?!!!!

3. Have an ornament gift exchange!

WB Hint: Ornaments are easy and fun! It it also much cheaper and easier 
to buy for a colleague that you may not know beyond the workplace

4. Decor, Decor, Decor! 

The good thing is that a Christmas tree could do the trick! 
Candles and extra ornaments are always a good way to spruce up the place, as well!

5. Table Setting Beauty!
Guests love personal touches! The table is the perfect 
place for creativity in that department!

6. Jingle and Mingle
It's so important to fill the silence. What better way to do so than with 
the sounds of the season! I am personally recommending Michael Buble's newest 
Christmas Album! It's mellow enough to use as background to a Mingling Murmur. 

White Blossom wishes you a Happy Holidays! :]

Burlap Bride

We adopted some beautiful burlap table runners this weekend at the wedding we did! It was certainly love at first sight for both Britni and I, not to mention everyone else who laid eyes on them! With that being said, enjoy this Burlap Experience! 

One thing you should know about Burlap (that is absolutely awesome) is that you can paint, personalize and even stamp it! Trust me, it makes for a fun & easy DIY project! It is also a very versatile fabric that can go with a variety of themes and designs! You may not have considered burlap before in your planning, but it really is an overlooked gem! ENJOY!
