HandyMan and I got married on a beautiful summer's day, 8 months ago today to be exact. I like to think our wedding was personal and reflective of us as a couple. We did a lot of 'DIY' touches but my absolute favourite was our "card house". I wanted something unique to hold the cards from our guests (I'm just not a satin poofy box kind-o-gal) and thought what better than a miniature house designed and crafted by me and my guy.

We started with the concept... modern, clean lines, with a 'drop slot' and removable lid. I also wanted glass (glass?!) and a staircase (yes, I guess I could be a demanding bridezilla!). Think Barbie's contemporary dream house :) HandyMan drew up the plan and over a few weekends, bass wood and plexiglass in hand, we built our first house in the model room at HandyMan's office. Here's a look...
