Hot glue. Those magnets are super strong, so we waited until the week of and used a blop of hot glue under each one. Both my husband and my mom helped me glue them so it went pretty smoothly.

Oh. Because the magnets are non-porous, they peel right off the cooled glue. The glue sticks to the paper, but people will throw that away anyway so no big deal.

Wow. I never would have thought of that. I seriously though you painstakingly made donut holes out of scotch tape for each and every magnet. haha 

That's a good tip! Thanks so much!

[TheBon]

I don't think scotch tape would have kept them from attracting each other, honestly. Glue dots didn't.

I seriously love everything that you made, I wish I had your design skillz.  And your bouquet!  I love it!

I seriously love everything that you made, I wish I had your design skillz.

Thanks! 5 years in architecture school + 4 years working in graphic design + a ton of hard work! It's just a matter of training your eye. I swear.

wow - it's all so beautiful and so well done... Great job! 

[TheBon]

I added just a few of the pro photos to the second post. Maybe one day I'll actually get more of them edited and uploaded.

Oh, TheBon.  How i envy your crafty and organized ways.

...and your shoes, too. 

Part of the allure of the shoes was that I will get to wear them constantly after the wedding. Plus, I'd wanted a pair of fluevogs for years but couldn't justify the cost...Until the wedding came along.

I've loved Fluevog's shoes for awhile now; you're right- a wedding is the perfect excuse....I'm off to search Zappos right now. Also, my compliments on some fabulous diy wedding crafts!
Oh thank you!

Where did you get the jar for your guest book?? I like it lots! (not to mention everything else for your gorgeous wedding...)

[TheBon]

Target. For just a couple of dollars. I think it's hanging around here somewhere still. The label didn't stick very well in the long term but it kind of boiled down to me really not caring because it was such a tiny piece.
