Garden Adventures & Edible Landscaping

Our garden is out of control this year! Each year I try new things in our garden, seeing what we like, what we could do without  and so on. It’s a gamble every year and every year there there are a couple items I think “I will not do that again!” … And then I […]

Our DIY Boutonnieres

Flowers are expensive and to have boutonnieres made on top of all the other flowers seemed a little excessive. I wanted the parents bouts and corsages to be extra special. This little idea was one of my first ideas for the wedding that I wanted to DIY.  Unfortunately it was overshadowed by everything else that […]

Why We Chose to Keep Our Wedding Simple and Handmade

Let me preface this by saying that this is our personal opinion and we in no way look down upon those who view this matter differently than we do, be it in simpler ways or more extravagant. This is just us, what makes sense to us and our lifestyle. After we were engaged we prefaced […]
