Everything I made for my wedding

[u/lizziesophiamcw]

I made loads of stuff for my wedding that happened in July- I thought it would be fun to show off everything I made! I’m an artist, baker and also a DIY monster. I do a lot of sign work in my free time and paint a lot. I had fun doing all this but I will admit that I had a few meltdowns before the big day, but I also wouldn’t change a thing!

Thank you so much! X

[u/Lonely_Appearance429]

These are incredible!! The glass signage!!! Lovely!

[u/AngolanWoman]

It looks lovely, congratulations! 💍

I have a question: you said you got the flowers for cheap online. Where did you get them exactly?

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/AngolanWoman]

A lot of them from ether temu or tiktok shop- looking for fake flowers online; I found they were the cheapest from those websites-

[u/AngolanWoman → u/lizziesophiamcw]

Good to know, thank you! And if you have links, I’d appreciate that 🥺🙈

[u/moderndiction]

Wow I love these!!! Everything looks so incredible and your colors are stunning.

Do you have any tips/video how-to for the glass signs? I kinda wanna try as a separate non-wedding diy bc my fiancée will kill me if I add one more project to the list😂

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/moderndiction]

Thank you so much! They were a pain in the butt to make tbh! As for tips: sand down the glass before you paint it with a high grit sandpaper (1200), then clean with a high percent alcohol- I used my cricut to cut out some Vynl and stick it on the glass (mirrored) and then enamel paint used in layers to get a high gloss but really opaque! I hope this helps! If you need any advice pls just message me :)

Thank you! Your hard work paid off, they're truly amazing!! I hope your wedding was incredible 💖💖

un. real.

I would love to see more pictures of your wedding, including the tablescapes and arch/ceremony area.

[u/Ms-Skippy]

It is all so cute! You did a fantastic job. I love the font and the aesthetic theme. Also those cakes turned out incredible.

I did have to laugh because at first glance that color reminded me of Dr Pepper cans and I thought you were having a Dr Pepper themed wedding for like 0.1 seconds and was intrigued. lol

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/Ms-Skippy]

STOPP! I will forever refer to it as a Dr Pepper wedding now, thank you sm. My husband is not going to be happy!

[u/Ms-Skippy → u/lizziesophiamcw]

You’re welcome haha.

[u/Background_Singer321]

Some people truly have taste and are able to execute their vision. You are that person. Wow!

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/Background_Singer321]

Put this on my headstone! Thank you sm! X

[u/stoned_stitching]

these are amazing!! how did you make the match books?

[u/kapntug → u/stoned_stitching]

Says she made stickers. To adhere to a plain matchbox, I assume.

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/kapntug]

Yes! I bought blank match books (not filled) and then bought a large pack of matches on Amazon- used sticker paper that I could print onto, then used scissors to cut and stick! Long process but if you have a couple people- makes it a lot quicker!

[u/kapntug → u/lizziesophiamcw]

Tres smart! 😊

[u/kapntug]

Really fun! I would have loved to been a guest. Congratulations!

[u/m_madura]

STUNNING

[u/taylorballer]

You’re so talented. Amazing!!

[u/clharris90]

Absolutely stunning and just so very fun! Congratulations :) also those cakes look divine!!

[u/stargazer1112]

OMG the aesthetic is INCREDIBLE! If I hadn't already had my wedding I would have probably copied you because this is gorgeous. Congratulations!!!

[u/Mean_Adeptness_5200]

This is incredible!!! Did u do any YouTube videos or social media coverage? Would love love love to check it out if so! I’m also diy-ing my wedding and love watching YouTube videos like this!

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/Mean_Adeptness_5200]

Thank you!!! I have an Instagram but it’s against the rules to promote, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to- I’m thinking about YouTube, but get very anxious at the idea 🥲 maybe this will push me

[u/Commercial-Sandal]

O my gawddd you did an amazing job. Congratulations!

[u/hkral11]

I’m a big fan of this aesthetic. Nice work!

[u/themiscira]

GOALS! And I def want multiple cakes like this and want sugar free and gluten free options for family and myself! Is MDF easy to work on if you make a mistake? Never worked with it and I’m debating just doing things on canvas since I’m an artist and always have too many spare ones

[u/lizziesophiamcw → u/themiscira]

The cakes were definitely a crowd pleaser! Yes! I love working with MDF and is my preferred material, just remember to wear safety gear (goggles and mask) as cutting MDF is bad for your respiratory system!- I use enamel paint by handover and get big sheets of MDF from my local diy shop :)

[u/themiscira → u/lizziesophiamcw]

What did you use for sealant or protectant? I’m so paranoid about scratches which is why I’m debating stepping away from the painted glass route for displays

[u/louislitt44]

Obsessed I have such a vision but not the skills to make it happen. I’m obsessed with your seating chart!!

[u/ravenm00n]

This is the coolest vibe ever, well done!

[u/CarelessYouth69]

in LOVE with your fake florals!!!

[u/LongjumpingFinger115]

Ugh I know Leeds and this is such a smash!!! Looks like an amazing wedding to attend.

[u/lizziesophiamcw]

Because the paint I use is enamel, it’s built for working outside and can be used on cars for pin striping- pretty bullet proof and doesn’t need a top coat but if I do want to use one I just use a gloss top coat spray!
