Wedding Picture Collage

June Brides, Weddings, Love is in the Air…

Time for some DIY Wedding Projects.

Last fall, I was given the opportunity to create five Wedding projects for Offray Ribbon.

I had so much fun working on this project with them.

They allowed me to choose anything I wanted to work with.

So many beautiful ribbons and embellishments.

Last week, I received permission that I could share them with you on my blog.

So… for the next five days, I will feature a DIY Wedding project complete with instructions

and pictures.

Enjoy and Share!
