DUDE! A Freakin' DIY Goddess!
Monday, April 5, 2010 at 8:24PM Holy crap. I think I might have stumbled upon the world's most incredible DIY wedding chick EVER. I shit you not, ladies. You can color me so impressed. First of all, you can start with her bliggity blog where she's trolling along quite nicely with a mere 3 months left to plan. Here's some of the stuff she's made so far.....
A lily flower alter. Nice.
Her doily-backed menu. You know I love me some hot doily action.
SHUT UP! She made her own freakin' doily chandelier. I love her.
DIY bridesmaide bouquets. Sweet.
Not only is she making all this crap, she's making her own dress and veil too! Impressive. Veronica ( the nut job behind all this DIY) is also the creative juices behind Coco Irene, "a collection of intricate accessories made from vintage and antique materials." And guess what? She makes wedding gowns too! SQUEEEEEEEEE! Check out Veronica Schaeffer Gowns! Retro love, baby.
Seriously, I am so impressed by this woman's DIY. You gotta go check out her blog, My Hands Made It. Oh, and you should also go over to Ruffled and vote for her DIY pinwheel table numbers. Yes, she made those too (over-achieving bitch...kidding!). Vote for #9 in the comments section!
And um, Veronica? *Looks down. Shuffles feet. Looks up out the top of my eyes like Susanna Hoff from The Bangles.*
Um. Will you be my new BFF? Pleeeeeeeeeeease!
Oh, and this request in no way transfers, negates or diminishes my other blog BFF's like Susie or LA Love. Or Chic 'n Cheap. Or GEW. Smooches to you all.
Designer, TruLu Couture
Blogger. Wife. Smart Ass.

WHOA! That was like all the nicest things anyone has ever said to me . . . all at once! Mind blowing. You are the best. Thank you so much, Louise! Oh and we are totally BFFs now. Please. xoxo
That menu sounds YUMMY! I want to come to the reception!!!!
Veronica, I love you too! Her wedding dress totally looks like my Moms ala 1964 Argentina. So gorgeous.
Woah - usually DIY posts drive me nutso (mostly because I'd love to make some of this but have NO TIME and then feel like an inadequate bride.) But I like this. As in, I already bookmarked the pinwheels yesterday (no joke - really did) and, well, I like everything else too. Even if I'm a pinwheel over doily girl, hot d*mn those chandeliers are amazing! And the dresses? Swoon. Veronica, you're pretty darn awesome.
I'm glad you haven't forsaken me Louise! That and I can not possibly do things like make my own dress to win your affections. Veronica is totally amazing, I bow down to that.
