DIY Soiree : The DIY Bride

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

There is nothing more personal than putting your heart & soul (and sometimes tears) into creating the perfect wedding accessory by hand.

For the DIY Bride at heart, I hope you frequently watch Khris’ blog called the DIY Bride. Her blog is full of incredible resources, smart tips and elegant ideas to incorporate into your wedding.

   The DIY Bride Crafty Countdown : Khris Cochan


Khris has also published a book called ‘The DIY Bride’ and I know that she has a second book the “The DIY Bride Crafty Countdown” will be released by December 22 (perfect to ask to be pre-ordered for your Christmas list). You can purchase both of her books online at Amazon.ca

Although I haven’t had a chance to meet Khris yet in person, I’ve had a chance to get know her through a couple professional wedding forums and through twitter {you can follow her too}. I’m sure if you follow her blog, you’ll see exactly how dedicated she is to helping you ensure you have a personalized diy wedding day!

I’d love to hear about your DIY projects you are taking on for your wedding? Please share in the comments below!
