All Things Damask!

I have begun to fall in love with damask although I can't afford the design. My latest goal has been to find damask designs on a budget.

This first is a DIY damask-like boutonniere I found that I think it truly adorable! I got the idea from Love & Lace. The link takes you to the how-to instruction along with more photographs.


A great, inexpensive, way to make a boring clear vase into a gorgeous black damask vase is with this Damask packing tape. Using a steady hand, you can easily wrap it around any vase to create the look you desire. Adding a colorful wide ribbon adds another hue to the vase.

Looking for a great way to change up votives? You can use the packing tape for that as well! Wish and HotRef, respectively, each have a great picture of damask votives.














And last, but hopefully not least, I have found a FREE damask invitation kit! That's right, FREE! It comes in black or brown and you can use it at Vista Print. Ladies, ENJOY!

I also have damask templates if anyone needs them. They are great for adding to printers and printing them yourselves. An amazing lady from weddingbycolor.com emailed me this how-to for creating damask votives.

My first blog

Hello to everyone! This is my first blog so bear with any mistakes I make.

I am a bride-to-be myself and I love talking about weddings (even those that are not my own). I find extreme satisfaction in helping stumped brides find the inspiration they are looking for.

My goal for this blog is to create a website for brides on a budget to turn to for inspiration and help.

I am an extreme bargain hunter, online and in the real world, and have made it my personal goal to have a gorgeous, elegant wedding for 125 guests for under $4000. I hope that through my experience with researching weddings that I can provide insight and help to any of you.
