A hot trend with weddings right now is incorporating DIY (do it yourself) projects to add special handmade details to your wedding.  Even the not so creative types can get the advice, guidance and supplies they need at our local Paper Source right in the Marina (2061 Chestnut Street).  This shop is a candy land for those that love paper, and all that revolves around paper.  Learn how to make your own table numbers with vintage stamps, place cards or even your own invitations, if you dare!

My favorite thing right now is paper garlands and paper flowers being hung whimsically at weddings.  Paper Source offers a ton of different paper flower and garland kits that help you make these amazing decor pieces without too much stress on your part.  Grab a few bridesmaids and a couple bottles of wine, and you are well on your way to being a DIY bride.

You can also check out their workshop schedule, and see what is coming up that you would want to sign up for.  I highly recommend taking advantage of these workshops, as they are very informative and make the sound of DIY much less scary.

    You're a woman after my own heart. The Paper Source is my favorite store! In addition to the workshops, the website has great "how to" videos.
