day twenty three. back from a brief holiday intermission :)

So I kind of disappeared for the past few days, but I am ready to resume my thirty days of giving….hey thirty days is thirty days right?

I actually made a last minute trip to Seattle to be with my fiance for Christmas. Jamie is a charter pilot so last minute trips are something that we have gotten accustomed to (but never used to). Luckily, this time we were able to arrange a trip for me to be with him in Seattle for Christmas. Which was AWESOME because Seattle is one of my all time favorite cities. (Disclaimer, I would LOVE to have the opportunity to shoot a wedding there <3)

We had an amazing and relaxed Christmas browsing the shops, going out to eat, and relaxing at our hotel. It was an amazing holiday 🙂

So now, back to some of my favorite DIY wedding ideas…

I have recently become obsessed with the idea of terrariums, I’ve seen them skewed across Pinterest and these minature gardens displayed under glass is just so appealing to me so when I saw this DIY terrarium place holder from Green Wedding Shoes I immediately book marked it into my wedding folder.

I was thinking that you could even make something bigger or as a part of a collection for a centerpiece. These place holders could also be taken home as favors for your guests. Awesome.

You can find the whole tutorial here on Green Wedding Shoes and it was submitted by Jessica + Garett over at Wednesday. They have an amazing collection of DIY ideas that are definitely worth checking out as well.

Hope you all had an amazing holiday, if you know of anyone who got engaged during the holidays please send them this way to take advantage of my 30 days of giving.

I would also be completely psyched and extremely grateful if you shared my portfolio with anyone you know that is planning an upcoming wedding and researching wedding photographers.
