Tin Can DIY Wedding Ideas | DIY Wedding Photographer

January 30, 2013

I have a thing for seeing value in stuff…all kinds of stuff. You know…like old nasty china cabinets on the side of the road…with a “FREE” sign on it. It was dark, ugly and totally 80′s. I knew that if I could just get my hands on it…and convince my husband to pick it up for me in his truck…there was something beautiful under all that nastiness. I slapped some white paint on it, put a clothes rod inside and boom…it was a new closet for my baby (who is 9 now!!). We still have this piece and are always get asked where we got it! Uh….on the side of the road??? :)

Anyway!! Back to DIY Stuff! I love the idea of saving your tin cans (from taco soup I have about 6 cans!) and then turning them into something beautiful…for your wedding or for your house!

Here are some of my very favorite Tin Can DIY Wedding Ideas that I found on Pinterest!

1. DIY Hanging Tin Can Back Drop: Using the same flower to fill each can unifies the look and makes it look put together…even though these were literally saved from going into the garbage can. They look so elevated and sparkly in these images!

3. I love these copper color painted Tin Cans. You could literally do this in any metal color…Gold, Matte Silver, Copper. …or whatever other color you please!

4. Tin Cans With Lace and ribbon. You could use whatever matches your wedding (or house, for that matter) They bring a relaxed, but still put together feel to the centerpiece. I think I may just steal this Idea for a summer evening dinner party! I love these!!

5. Painted Tin Can Vases: Same tin cans…just painted! Just another way to bring color to your wedding reception tables.

6. Stripped Painted Tin Can: All you need to do to get this graphic and modern look to your tin cans is wrap a piece of painter’s tape around the can before painting it. You could get different widths of tape for variety.

7. Bedazzled Tin Cans: I love the idea of playing up the sparkle of these tin cans by adding some pearls and jewels to the outside of these. Add a little Glam to your DIY.

8. Rope covered Tin Cans: Here’s a Nautical twist to the TIn Can vase….and it couldnt be more easy, just wrap rope around it and secure with hot glue. I love the way it looks with plain white hydrangeas.

DIY Wedding ideas | Spray Paint

January 8, 2013

I have a love affair with a few things in life…my husband, the goodwill and spray paint. If you ask my husband what

my spray

paint of choice…see below, Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze. I’ve painted about 10 huge frames, a side table, countless

chairs, a night

stand and whatever else catches my eye. I have a can or two of this spray paint on my garage shelf at all times…just

in case

something calls out to me that it needs to have a new turquoise life. :)

One of my favorite things about Spray paint is that you can transform just about anything, in a matter of minutes,

with no clean

up! All though its not necessarily the most cost effective, it is perfect for someone like me who likes to multi task

while still

adding some turquoise to your life.

I love Pinterest because I’ve found so many great ideas of things I can spray paint….I see things in a whole new light!

Here are a few of some of my very favorite Pinterest inspired DIY Spray Paint Wedding ideas!

1. Start saving those wine, beer and liquor bottles and start spraying. A unifying color will bring them all together, then add single

stems of one color of flower…and bam! You’ve got some amazing center pieces!

2. I love the idea of spray painting good old mason jars for flowers. You can pick these up at your local hardware store, or even better…the goodwill for about 20 cents each! Adding varying shapes and sizes will add visual interest.

Washi Tape Wedding Ideas | DIY Wedding Trends

January 2, 2013

One of my favorite DIY wedding trends lately is the whole Japanese Washi Tape trend. This cute, happy tape comes in just about every color, print and style you can think of! Here are just a few styles I found with a quick search and you can find it at your local Hobby Lobby and Michael’s.

Bundle Monster Adhesive Creative Scrapbooking Craft Plaid Polka Dot Decorative Décor Fabric Tape Mixed Lot – Set 2

Here are a few of my favorite DIY Washi Tape Wedding Ideas that I found on Pinterest! I’m super excited to transform some of these ideas to my own home!

1. Washi Tape & Painted Glass Bottles for Centerpieces. Just start collecting bottles and glass jars, spray paint to your liking, then add washi tape in whatever color matches your wedding….and fill with coordinating flowers. I LOVE this idea for a spring wedding. Something about it just says fresh and spring!

These vases are not even painted, but the muted colors of the washi tape brings them all together.

2. Clothes Pins & Washi Tape Seating Chart: I love the idea of using clothespins and washi tape to display your seating

chart…then

Post wedding you can use this board in your office or kitchen for reminders, calendars or love notes to your new hubby!

3. Washi Tape Guest Book or Best Wishes Book.

So EASY!!! Washi Tape and little papers add some fun and personality to a guest book or best wishes from your wedding guests. I

love the idea of doing different titles on different pages…Date Night Ideas, Do’s and Don’ts of marriage, Best restaurants…you get

the idea!
