Shani and Anthony took a real DIY approach to their wedding and almost got the whole family and her bridesmaids involved in the many DIY projects. I really like the way they managed to delegate and enlist family to take on projects which each family member would feel comfortable with.


Her BEAUTIFUL Vera Wang dress! So pretty!




Shani's dad and brothers made the ceremony arbor from wood that they chopped and gathered from their family lake cabin in Idaho. I would love to know exactly how they did it..it's so beautiful!

Simple DIY wedding ceremony decorations. The blue paper pom poms really makes a difference!
A very inspirational DIY guest book idea and themed perfectly with the wedding location - The Columbia Winery!

I have such a soft spot for this little cutie! What a ring bearer!

Shani and her mom sewed burlap runners for the table centerpieces and her mom even knitted runners out of kid silk for the main tables! Shani's dad carved the table number holders out of wood that was left over from the arbor!

Another sweet creation by Shani's dad...the most adorable toppers!

The unique guest book idea!

Shani and her mom used antique buttons from Shani's great grandma’s collection for the center of the paper pinwheels that they put on the mason jars & the arbor. I love this idea!

Shani and Anthony got married in the wine country of Woodinville, WA at the beautiful Columbia Winery surrounded by all their friends, family and of course their lovely dog “Frenchie Scout”.
Shani say they took on many DIY crafty projects, from the ceremony arbor to cake topper, table numbers, burlap runners, DIY centre pieces, pinwheels, mason jar decorations, guest book and so much more. And the result…just magical!

That's actually the reason I wanted to stand on the right side- it's my "good side" too! I don't think it was a big deal to anyone, but we don't come from religious families or anything. Definitely be sure to tell your photographers about your face preference! It sounds like a silly request, but wish I had because they took a lot of pics of the other side and I ended up disliking most of those ones!
I really want to stand on the right side like you did! I'm self-consious that my face has a 'non-photogenic side' (totally insane, I know, lol). Did anyone comment about you standing on the "wrong side"?
Such a beautiful wedding dress, could you possibly give me info on how to find it? Item code or dress name maybe?
Thank you in advance :)
Hi Karaf, I just love those mugs too!!!!! They are so amazingly gorgeous. If you go to "Our Favorite Finds" page here on DIYwedding.org under "Wedding Stores" you will find all the information you need. There are a few different styles available; Mugs and Teacups...I love them both so much - it's hard to choose;o))
