While standing in the check-out line today I picked up the most recent Martha Stewart Weddings magazine to flip through. The first page I flipped open to I saw the most amazing idea - lace doily envelope liners! I immediately purchased the magazine and raced home to read what Martha’s newest idea was!

These doily envelope liners make the perfect DIY project for your wedding! They look great with a neutral colored invitation, or I thing they would look equally beautiful with a bright colored paper peaking through. I found easy instructions from Martha Stewart Weddings to make these liners.

To make, lay a 9-inch square doily face down, with a corner pointing toward you. Center invitation on top. Fold up bottom point, then side points, and finally the top. Insert into envelope. You can buy doilies in different sizes based on the size of your invitation. I found a 9-inch square butterfly doily from Artifacts Inc. I also found some square paper doilies online here.

I would love to find somewhere that sold lace envelopes! If you know of any let us know!

As I was reading through BridalBuds last week, I came across this post by Plumeria Bud about invitations from Printable Press and I thought it was such a great idea! They have a ton of unique designs to match your event’s theme and style or they can customize an invitation that better suits your personality. And now for the best part, once Printable Press has designed the invitation set, you get the PDF so you can have them printed online or at a local print shop or even print them yourself at home!

Pleas note: Printable Press is not taking new orders until May 1st.

Besides being delicious, fruit can add a decorative touch to your wedding as well! The vibrant colors will match or accent just about any color palette and, in some cases, may be a lot cheaper than flowers! As you can see in the photos above, fruits can be used in centerpieces, as cake toppers, in beverages, or as placecards and favors. Be creative. Who doesn’t love an edible decoration?!

It’s that time again……gift giving time! I may be insane, but I love to wrap presents! I am always looking for fun things to add to my gift wrapping and Martha Stewart is always helpful in that department! These gift tags from MarthaStewart.com can be printed at home and would be great for any holiday gift. Click here to download. Happy Holidays!!
