It’s official, we’ve come to a flower decision and what’s even more official is that they’ve been purchased. Another major task checked off the good ol’ wedding planning to-do list. In case you’re just tuning in, Colby and I have been discussing figuring out if we’re capable enough to grow our own flowers for our wedding…from seed. We’re talking ceremony, reception, bouquets, etc. Call us crazy we just consider it [...]

Tonight’s blog post came about through some frantic internet searching for a supplier of envelopes. I’ve been working on designing our DIY invitations and I’ve got some killer ideas and prototypes in the works. I had an idea of what I wanted for envelopes but was seriously struggling trying to find what I was looking for. I tried Staples and Walmart’s websites, paper goods distributors, even Amazon and then I [...]

We’ve reached a point in our wedding planning that all of our major decisions (venue, menu, cake, dress) are all done. Planning the major things was remarkably easy, which quite surprised me. But now it’s time for what I like to consider the fun part of wedding planning, the dirty details. All the special touches and little details is really what makes a wedding unique, especially one like ours which [...]

The next major project I want to tackle for our wedding is our invitation suite. I’m most definitely going to DIY them, just like we DIYed our save the dates (read about that project back here). We still have plenty of time before we have to send the invitations out (I’m thinking somewhere around June for our August wedding) but I want to get as much done ahead of time [...]

One of the things that’s been on my wedding planning to-do list now for quite some time (haha…time…you’ll get it in a second), is to craft a preliminary wedding day timeline. Normally, this is right up my alley and includes all my favorite things: planning, organizing, Colby, and planning some more. But for some reason I’ve been stuck. We’re talking someone double parked completely boxing you in stuck (that’s totally [...]

I’m serious here! Are brides really supposed to be this laid back and relaxed when it comes to planning their wedding? I’m starting to think I’m an anomaly. Throughout this entire wedding planning process, I haven’t gotten stressed, or totally freaked, or pulled a bridezilla. Nope, nada, not once. Colby certainly appreciates it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I’m actually quite happy about it. Although I do feel [...]

This Wedding Wednesday post is particularly exciting. We bring you the honeymoon post. So where are we going? Let us share. When we sat down to think of where we wanted to go for our honeymoon, our minds raced and we started rattling off a list of dream vacation spots including Hawaii, Italy, Ireland, England, and even a tropical cruise. Then we started thinking about what we wanted…what we REALLY [...]

The highly anticipated, finally finished save the dates have officially gone in the mail and most recipients have received them. There are still a few that we haven’t sent out since we’re still in the process of tracking down addresses….well…Colby is…all my addresses are in the database. And a couple didn’t get sent out because of address typos and photography purposes. But this weekend I’m planning on sending out the [...]

Apparently, this is the week of blog post upsets. Again, my regularly scheduled blog post will be put on hold for another week (or day as in yesterday’s blog post back here). Originally, tonight’s Wedding Wednesday post was supposed to be about our sent out save the dates. Considering most of the save the date recipients haven’t received them yet, I’m going to hold off. I don’t want to play [...]

I would first like to start off this Wedding Wednesday post by announcing that our wedding save the dates are officially done, and should I remember, they will be sent out in the mail tomorrow. Signed…sealed…delivered…I’m done! And because I’m a sucker for dragging out projects (and procrastinating…can’t forget procrastinating) we’re going to cover all the craftiness that was involved in the making of our save the dates over the [...]

Welcome to Angie's Roost (and Colby's Hen House) where you'll find daily posts about our misadventures in DIY home improvement. We bought a 100+ year old home that desperately needed some love and blogged about our entire adventure.
Use wood glue and a stencil to block the stain. Beautiful.
