Wedding Preparations

Guest Book Corner - DIY Project

7 months to go before my wedding actual day. Friends and families around me who had gone through this process in their life advised that wedding preparation should be commenced earlier but not very last minute. I've been put in mind that numerous unexpected trivia would drive the bride and groom-to-be to the wall when approaching the big day. As not to be set from these problem, I decided to prepare things as many as I can at this point.

Wedding dinner venue was reserved a year ago. Yes, early booking is the most secure way to get the venue or wedding hall you desired. Once we have been confirmed with the availability on our wedding date, another question came across my mind, ''Should I decorate the wedding reception?'' Every bride desires a fairy tale wedding. So do I. However, I choose a cheap but creative way to make my wedding reception looks presentable at the same time to ensure my guests have an unforgettable and wonderful night.

Spontaneously, images and pictures of the day start plotting in my mind. After a long period of online researching, getting ideas, references and pictures, finally I have a draft for this DIY project! 

Here is the kick off of my DIY project- GUEST BOOK CORNER!!!

Bouquets with artificial flowers are the indispensability elements in any wedding decorations. Since I am not good in Ikebana a.k.a flower arrangement, I have chosen several ready made bouquet with different floral designs and size. 

I personally favor this pink artificial daisy. It gives me garden feel and freshness. 

The third bouquet I choose is the romantic white roses with entangled branches. 

Would like to share the extra photos beside the photo album? This craft called DIY cardboard photoframe helps alot! Even as a decorating element in guestbook corner. 

 An universal white cany tray a nicer way of storage for your thank you cards, wedding favors, stationaries and etc.

Personalized the cany basket to suit your own desire. Wrap it with color ribbons or lining the linen at inner part, an good idea to be used during betrothal to fill in the wedding necessities.

Photo frames too. I like pink! Pink and white is always a girlish color combination that creates sweetness in any moment.

These stamps are my own collection which I purchased in Taiwan last December. Unexpectedly, they are playing an important role in this guest book corner. Our guests can just leave us a note by easy stamping and decorate by using these. 

I am going to use these stuffs to set up my adorable guest book corner in my wedding dinner.

P/S: Warm reminder to readers, or bride-to-be who are going to DIY own wedding like me, make sure most of the items used for the entire wedding decorations would not be stored and kept under bed after the occasion. Make sure each stuffs purchased will not losing their value after the wedding, try to display them at home as part of living decorations.

Taa-daa! Here is my wedding reception guest registration corner! Thanks to my photographer in taking these shots of my D.I.Y corner. A lot of guests have been asking which organizer I hired to decorate this, I pointed my nose. LOL
