DIY We Love: Handmade Wooden Sign
Photo Credit: Josh Lynn Photography
By now you may have noticed that we have a penchant for creative photo ideas around these parts, so for my personal engagement photos, the pressure was definitely on. After researching these amazing save-the-dates, I knew I wanted to find a way to incorporate my wedding date into the photo itself, rather than just slapping on some text. BG brides, meet my first DIY project.
Unlike a handheld sign, this stand-alone bad boy can be placed anywhere. It will only set you back around $15-$20 depending on the materials you use, compared to $100+ if you buy it premade on Etsy. Best of all, it's versatile and can easily be customized for bridal showers and weddings, too.
I couldn't have done it without the help of my dad, a contractor, and my photographer Josh, who was sweet enough to lug it around at the beach and set up the most incredible shot. My fiancé Jason and I got some ribbing from family, friends, and even strangers about it (one guy at the beach screamed, "I'll be there!" when he saw it), but I think the end result speaks for itself.

Brad and Angelina to Marry This Weekend?
Rumor has it, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning to tie the knot this weekend at their home in France.
Guests are already arriving under the pretense of a 50th anniversary bash for Pitt's parents, Jane and Bill. But Brangelina certainly wouldn't be the first couple to surprise their guests with a wedding — earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan invited friends and family over to celebrate Dr. Chan's med school graduation but shocked them all by throwing an intimate backyard wedding instead.
Recently, Pitt gave Jolie a $400,000 "pre-wedding gift," generating buzz that the wedding isn't far away.
We know rumors are always swirling about these two, but what's intriguing is that the couple reportedly flew in the jeweler who made Jolie's stunning engagement ring, and Pitt's BFF George Clooney is current at his home in Lake Como, just an hour's flight away.
What do you think; will they tie the knot this weekend?
