Associate editor Roseanne recently hosted an adorable wedding shower where guests signed postcards for the bride-to-be. Inspired by this unique idea, we wanted to find another special way to present the wedding day guestbook. When we stumbled upon this post on weddingfavours.ca about personalized matchbooks, we were inspired by the simple construction. We decided to take this idea one step further and create DIY matchbook notebooks. Read on to find out how to make your own.

Looking for simple DIY projects to add a personal touch to your wedding celebration? Then this blog is for you! Each week we’ll bring you a new (simple!) craft to enhance your big day.
We’re starting things off with these lovely cupcake liner carnations. Perfect for centrepieces, boutonnieres, cake toppers or wall décor (string them up!), you can also use these homemade blooms to decorate your favours. Add a little ribbon and a tag, and you have an adorable gift for your guests. Paper flowers do not get easier than these pretty petals!
Here at Weddingbells, we love to research/brainstorm and come up with unique ideas to help you plan your very best wedding day. And that’s why planning the magazine is always such a pleasure for us—because we’re thinking of you!
Throughout 2010 we kept the ideas coming and celebrated our 25th anniversary. That’s right: since 1985 we’ve been helping Canadian brides (and grooms!) plan their day and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wishing you & your groom the very best for 2011. Happy planning!

For me and my husband, it was heading to California for a total food and wine experience. A trip of a lifetime, we filled our itinerary with wine tours, local restaurants, markets and a stop in San Francisco. But our biggest and most exciting addition to the itinerary came when we received confirmation of our reservation at The French Laundry! Foodies out there know it’s a tough reservation to get as bookings for the 62 seats open two months to the day and are often completely taken within the first hour.
