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.

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!

Danika & Spencer! What can I say??? Honestly. Look at this picture below. How would you not just love these two…just by this one image! These two, their wedding party and their family just made our job so fun last saturday!  Our whole day was a mixture of laughing and crying! It was FAB-U-LOUS!!!  Lets just say…that when I walked into the reception area….I literally cried! It just took my breath away…but you will have to wait to see those images! :) I will leave you with a few from their first look! These two were made for each other!  Lots more images to come.

Amazing Anthro inspired DIY Details, Mickey Mouse Waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon for the brunch reception and vintage milk cap magnets for favors….and not to mention two of the most sincere, sweet and adorable people you’ve ever met. :) Intrigued? Well…I only have time to share a few images…but here are a few from our post wedding session! I love that these guys played by absolutely no rules and got to wedding of their dreams, at the Monte Cristo in Everett, Washington.  We also did a no rules, in the rain, pie shop snohomish engagement session…

Just a few teasers from their fabulously relaxed and full of amazing details wedding…lots more to come!

So I’ve known Curtis since I was about 15ish. He was in my youth group as a kid….And when I met Shannon for the first time, I thought I recognized her….but just couldn’t put my finger on where I knew her from!  I finally figured it out when I arrived at the Premier Ballroom for their wedding. Her sister walked in….and she looked at me…I looked at her and it clicked. We played soccer on the same team when I was in kindergarten! Wow! That was over 25 years ago! Why in the heck to I have a memory for stuff like that, but when it comes to remembering where my keys are….I have a big problem! Anyway! It was so much fun to have some familiar faces at this fun fallish wedding in the uber cool downtown Everett! I LOVE this new ballroom, btw!

These 2 were such love birds! I love it when a couple can’t keep their hands off each other and there is evident chemistry there….these 2 were not lacking in either of those! It makes my job a breeze. They were laughing the whole time…again…this makes my job capturing their true romance and personalities so easy! LOVED IT!

Here are my favorite things about this wedding:

• These guys met in 8th grade, and found each other again later in life….and to see them together…you can just tell it was meant to be.
• In their ceremony they had the officiant have their back to the audience so they were facing toward the crowd. Loved it!
• Shannon was super budget savvy and borrowed lots of table linens and lanterns for center pieces.  If you know someone who just got married, ask if you can borrow…anything!!:) Its a great way to save some cash, and people sometimes don’t even know what to do with all the items they have been left with after their wedding…they would gladly let someone borrow them!

I just loved this bouquet! And to make it even better, Shannon’s sister put all the flowers together for her wedding. If you have talented or crafty friends or family, its a great DIY way to save some room in your budget!
