I miss wedding projects. Adam and I got married in 2006 and for the year leading up to the big event there was always a “project” that needed to be done for the wedding, and I loved it. Stuff to be made, stuff to be organized, stuff to be done. Being a DIY-er, I made a lot of the things for the wedding by hand and my darling husband, knowing I can’t sit still and always need a project was content to let me. He helped me design the colours, style and feel of the overall event, but then he let me gallop off on my own.

Anyways, I learned a lot and figured out a lot and thought maybe by posting a lot of the projects to the blog I could pass on some ideas and keep the “wedding projects” going for a bit longer. So, starting this week, I am going to be posting tutorials for the things we made for the big day, as well as some tips and pointers we learned along the way. Feel free to steal ideas and philosophies as desired and, as always, you can contact me if you would like to commission Sixth & Elm to make any of these projects for your big day - I know we’re all creative but sometimes there just isn’t enough time to make it all yourself.
