*this post was written over the weekend. kristie + i were so shocked + upset to hear about what happened in boston yesterday. luckily everyone we know is safe + accounted for. our hearts are heavy for everyone affected by yesterday's events.
among all the diy projects we have lined up for the wedding was our placecard holders, which kristie made using discarded wine corks (we have a lot). with a hack saw, she very carefully sliced an edge off of each cork so it wouldn't roll, and then made a cut into the remaining cork, just deep enough to hold our place cards (from paper source, in "cement"). if you make these too, don't forget to cut the card-holding slit at an angle -- that way people won't have to bend over to read it!
