I have been inspired. My oh-so-talented and beautiful stylist Lindsey Regan Thorne of be pretty suggested I start a blog showing off my little DIY projects I've been working on for my wedding. I have always thought of myself as slightly crafty and creative but I am really proud of what I have done!
First, let me start off by saying that my wedding is COMPLETELY untraditional. We are sportin' a 1950s soda pop theme, complete with a ice cream float and candy bar. Here is a sneak peak at our groomsmen outfits, styled by LRT of be pretty!:
To complete the outfit, the groomsmen will rock some yellow and pink converse sneaks!
Now on to the DIY!
For my bridesmaids, I wanted to step up their look to match the boys. The girls will wear these dresses from David's Bridal. I wanted them to wear pink shoes, but because we are getting married in a garden, a heel would definitely be bothersome. So I picked up these cute wedge flip flops from Old Navy...
But, these are way too plain. Our wedding flowers are daisies...boring for a flip flop though! So I brainstormed and came up with using ribbon to create flowers. I went to Michaels and bought a few different variations of ribbon in our colors (yellow, pink and orange/coral). We bought yellow pompons and used a glue gun to bring it all together. Like so....
My BFF Hannah and I banged them out in one night! Here is the finished product:
And I made some for my sweet little flower girls too!
These cute little flippies turned out better than I could have hoped for! Not to mention, it alleviates some of the costs for the bridesmaids; they are already spending enough to travel. The flip flops cost $7.50 (Old Navy), a couple rolls of ribbon @ $2.50 each, pompons @ $2.50/bag of 15, all this adds up to a cheap, cute and comfortable shoe for any occasion!
