Easy fall decor- painted pumpkins

Happy fall y'all! It makes me so happy that the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to change color! I love fall! I especially love fall home decor!
This year, I have been trying not to focus too much on seasonal decor because I feel like I should devote the time to finishing our normal every day decor before I splurge on things that are displayed only temporarily. I've been using seasonal decor I already own or that I can make quickly and cheaply. 

Wedding Wednesday- Using shutters as a seating card display

Hey there! Happy Wednesday!!! Hope you're all having a great week! The last seven days have been crazy busy for me, and I'm so glad that it's officially fall so I won't feel bad when I curl up on the couch with a warm blanket, a cup of coffee, and a good book today! There's just something about fall that's so relaxing and cozy!

Wedding Wednesday- How to make chiffon flowers

Happy Wednesday, friends! Hope you're having a great week so far!  Today, I'm sharing a pretty useful craft! Learn how to make chiffon flowers! We used tons of these in our wedding decor, but they can be used for so many other things too! You don't even need to be good at sewing! So give it a try :)

Housewarming gift- painted canvas sign

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was pretty busy but very productive! More on that later though :)
Thursday I finally had the opportunity to visit my sweet friend Christina! Her and her husband just made the same crazy life change that we made last year, getting married and buying a house around the same time. My hubs and I are still trying to catch up over a year later, so I know things have been busy for them too! Christina and her husband are all settled into their first home, but this summer has been so busy for both of us, I just got around to seeing it! I must say, it's super cute! It's in a charming, quiet neighborhood and has a nice big back yard where future little kiddos can play ;) Currently their pup, Roxy is enjoying every minute of it!

Wedding Wednesday- Banners

Hi, friends! Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday! :) For this week's Wedding Wednesday, I'm showing you some adorable banners for photo props!

The credit for this entirely goes to my awesome family. They came to town a few days before the wedding to help me with some last minute details and brought a few crafts with them that they had secretly been working on! Here's an embarassing photo of my dad and my sister demonstrating how my husband and I should use the "thank you" banner they made for our thank you cards. Gotta love them! 

Housewarming gift- succulent planter

I love making gifts for friends and family, so when I found out that two of our close friends, Sarah and Tim, bought a house, I started brainstorming ideas for a housewarming gift. There are tons of cute ideas out there, but I wanted something that was somewhat unique and definitely easy to make! I've developed a little crush on succulents lately, so I decided to share my new love with our friends!

Ready for how easy this is? Here's what I did!

Wedding Wednesday- Flower Girl Buckets

And we're back! We missed Wedding Wednesday last week due to The Great Crate Challenge (which you should definitely check out if haven't seen it yet!). Last week, nine of my bloggy friends and I shared projects using the same crate purchased from Michaels. We each created our own unique idea and joined efforts to give you tons of inspiration! Check it out!
