Dinosaurs and pickles combine in this ultra easy centerpiece DIY project

When you go through as many pickles as I do, you end up with a ton of empty glass jars. These come in super handy for crafting up some DIYed centerpieces, so I decided to convert my handy dandy dry goods pickle jar upcycle into a super easy, dino-tastic centerpiece idea. Here’s the surprisingly easy method for whipping these bad boys up in just a few minutes.

Sheena & James’ whimsical mountain love celebration

This is the story of a media-obsessed bride becoming wedding media herself. But in this case, the bride totally made peace with her obsession and ended up with a wedding to rival all the ones she idolized. Her red gown, colorful fall decor, and epic venue with a mountain backdrop all make us wish we were right there with them. Just watch out for Zorro and Pancho Villa… there’s bound to be a fight there.

Oh, and don’t forget the groom’s and the bride’s mother’s live band performances, the Monty Python call-out in the ceremony, and the unintentional ass-grab by the groom during the first dance!

A literary Dinosaur wedding with a purple dress and a bad-ass blind bride

Check out Elsa’s awesome manifesto that challenges the WIC’s assumptions about what is “bridal,” to get to know this awesome bride. Then get a load of the dino and Doctor Who details, purple swingin’ dress, and “steamcane” that made this wedding fabulous.

Match your card box to your favorite reading

“A Lovely Love Story” by Edward Monkton is one of our reader favorites for sweet and light-hearted readings. It’s definitely on its way to becoming a classic. But the theme is also totally appropriate for card NOMing boxes! Rachel and Travis crafted this ultra rad dino inspired by the same book, which was one of their readings.
