DIY Outdoor Beverage Station

More and more of my couples are adding fun outdoor elements to their weddings, especially come the Fall season. From outdoor casual rehearsal dinners, to s'mores stations at the wedding reception, brides and grooms are choosing to utilize the gorgeousness that is nature here in Gainesville, FL.

I saw this great DIY project on Lil' Luna and thought it worked on so many different levels (pun intended!), and could be used over and over again after the event!

Cute, right?! Picture it at the start of a buffet for your rehearsal dinner or laid-back reception, or filled with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate next to a bonfire. Get coordinating paper goods in your wedding colors, and it's perfect!

Turns out it's a pretty simple project too. You'll need:  A Beverage Tub, Pails, Galvanized Pipes Connectors and End Caps, and J-B Weld.

You can see the step-by-step instructions here.

Cheap, easy and adorable! (That's my idea of the perfect DIY project!)

Added benefit - how awesome would it be for tailgating too?!?!

DIY Ribbon Streamers

One of our favorite venues here in Gainesville, Florida is the Historic Thomas Center . The gardens, architecture, and ballroom are just beautiful, and completely unique to Gainesville, making it ideal for a wedding. That being said, as a historic building, there are restrictions that go with it. One of the biggies that our couples run into frequently is the fact that you aren't allowed to throw anything - no rice, rose petals, confetti, bubbles, sparklers, etc. We have an amazingly wonderful couple getting married there at the end of the month. They wanted something to help celebrate the BIG KISS and came up with the idea for ribbon streamers for guests to wave. Being the crafty, wonderful, wedding planners that we are, we were on call to help! :) We thought we'd put up the step-by-step DIY instructions for you too! Thing's you'll need: 12 inch wooden dowels 2-3 feet of ribbon, per dowel Hot Glue and Glue Gun Sharp Scissors Start by cutting your ribbon into 2 to 3 feet
