I was the one who picked our wedding theme. I thought that Frozen-themed wedding was cool so we came up with a winter-themed wedding. Our color motif: icy blue with a touch of silver. Rain said it was ok and even thought of it as classy and pretty.
So after several researches on webs and magazines about designs and creations related to our wedding theme, we came up with the following and these, by far, are the ones we’ve just recently started and are still on the process of making.
1. Guest Favors
Nowadays, I notice that most wedded couples opt to rent photo booths and let their guests have multiple photos of themselves and consider these as their wedding souvenirs. It’s unique because you get to choose the lay out that you want in the photo paper. Guests can also properly take care of these keepsakes by placing them on their photo albums or putting them up in frames unlike the conventional souvenirs such as figurine displays, collectibles, and candles etc. which only get dusty over time.
In addition to having a photo booth on our wedding, we wanted to give our guests a bit more as a token of appreciation for their presence. We thought of something that will have a unique touch of our theme but won’t have to be expensive. Then I found an old box of perfume that my sister gave me and Rain used it as a sample to create more boxes. We just bought the right paper, got some snowflake puncher, scissors, glue and hola! We’ve got our giveaway box! We’re filling it with chocolate kisses in blue wrap.
As I was writing this blog, Rain has already made about 21 boxes already so he still has 129 boxes to make haha!
2. Winter wedding decors
We found this picture in Pinterest and I found this really exquisite. Wine bottles as centerpieces, painted in white with bottom covered with Epsom salt, beautiful, right?
Here’s another one. Clear vases with twigs, simple and fascinating! I would love to have these on my tables.
Rain and I went to Divisoria one Saturday and looked for bottles and mason jars that we can use. We found some and bought them. We were supposed to buy twigs as well but they’re heavy so we just planned to buy them on our next visit.
We haven’t started doing this project yet as we’re still searching on where to buy Epsom salt (if it's being sold here in our place)
3. Wrist band/ bracelet for our secondary sponsors
When Rain and I did a survey on the cost of flower arrangement, we were really surprised to know how expensive it really was so I looked for an alternative to flowers starting off with my entourage. Instead of a bouquet of flowers I thought of giving them wrist bands and I found this lovely picture in the internet.
During our visit in Divisoria, I was happy to find an almost the same snowflake designs in one of the stores and I immediately bought them! We bought ribbons and other stuff too. We’re still figuring out how to come up with a beautiful wristband just like the picture above so this project is also pending for now.
Of course we also want our entourage to have something in return for their special roles in our wedding. Still in Divisoria, we found this store that sells all kinds of beads and I thought that it will be great to create/customize bracelets for our entourage. I am proud to say that these were already done and were specially made by Rain!
We’re still thinking of what to give for the boys!
4. Table numbers and Escort cards
For table numbers and escort cards, we are yet to decide what paper to use but to begin with, I got these pictures from the internet.

So there goes our own DIY Project! I’m sure we still have more to come up with. I just hope everything will be done just right on time for our wedding. Oh well, there are still more that we can do in 9 months, right? Wish us luck!
