June is wedding month! Calling all DIY brides!


June is known as the best month for weddings, right?  In Oregon June is still rainy but I know other parts of the country are enjoying lovely weather and seeing lots of weddings, and I see and hear about weddings all the time this time of year!

You may be following my wedding plans and projects, in preparation for my August 6th wedding.  It's coming up so soon!!  I am getting really excited, but still have lots of DIY projects to do.

Rest assured I will be keeping you updated regularly.  I am making all five of my bridesmaids' dresses, our CD favor fabric covers, the groomsmen's bowties, triangle-shaped hanging bunting and banners, my veil, oh--and, of course, my dress!  I will probably find other projects to do before then, too.  I'll be posting even more frequently about my wedding progress as the date gets closer!

Some of you have commented that you did lots of DIY projects for your weddings, and some of you are also getting married this year and have great plans!  Some of you made your dresses and have shared links to your wedding photos--I love seeing all of them!

What I would love to do is collect photos and stories from other talented and ambitious brides (past, present, and future!).  I've started a Flickr group where you can upload pics!!  Adventures in Dressmaking DIY Wedding Month will collect the photos, and I will be so excited to do posts sharing them here on the blog (during this festive wedding month and leading up to my wedding in August!).

So dig through those photo archives, if need be, and upload pics of the things you made for your wedding!
