*I found out about Nonpareil through The Inspired Bride
*Unique wedding themes and table centerpieces
*DIY hair accessories
*Table numbers, save the dates
Congrats, Nonpareil Magazine and more power!
I found you via multiple blogs – The Inspired Bride and Oh So Beautiful Paper, Urban Nest, Mint, Twig and Thistle plus more. I love paper crafting, and table settings so I’d love to see that sort of project. My favourite project in this issue was the ribbon-wrapped headbands. I am helping my sister organize her wedding and most likely to DIY the bonbonniere.
I found you through Twitter.
I would love to see more theme suggestions, with ideas from clothing, stationery & decor.
My absolute favourite project in this issue was The Perfect Accessory. I loved the tutorials and the photography was stunning.
I crafted my invitations, my table decor, my brooch bouquet and my cake topper.
Thanks!
1. Twitter
2. Maybe something with cupcakes? I’m getting married next year and I’m trying to incorporate cupcakes as much as possible into the wedding. hehe
3. Crafting the Perfect Accessory
4. The wedding favors… cupcake mix! =)
- I found you through @pennyrounds on Twitter
- I’d love more stationery and floral display ideas! Can’t get enough!
- My favourite part of the magazine was the favour box template – the additional ideas for how it can be accessorised and customised are really inspirational!
- I’d like to design a corsage for my hair (but won’t need to if I win your gorgeous one!) I’m also working with my designer-friend on my stationery. I think I’m more excited about stationery than anything else!
Thanks!
*I found you via twitter RT from Jackie Wonders (love her).
*more deco, what kind of things can you do on your own. what would be great to use on your wedding and after that in your home.
*the pretty boxes and that they are all made from one template. loved them. so useful, not just for weddings (you see, I love it when I can use things for weddings and other things)
*We did our own invitations, names on a little sign tied on a bag of custom m+m, flowers and deco, make up (I know not DIY), bags on the seats with tissue, bubbles, pen and piece of paper (to write down wishes for us), the whole candy table (something people don’t have in Germany) and our guestbook
* How did you find us? – lots o blogs!
* What kinds of projects would you like to see from us (or more of) in the future? i love the DIY posts.
* What was your favorite project in this issue? i love the save the dates from bread of many.
* What aspect of your wedding are you most likely to DIY (or if you’re already married, what did you craft yourself)? pretty much everything – invites, cupcakes, flowers, etc.
Tons of blogs have been promoting Nonpareil–great job of networking!
The DIY posts are great. I love in fashion magazines when they show you a designer look and then how to achieve that look on a more limited budget. Perhaps some posts like that would be nice? Tablescapes, decor, for less?
I love any and all templates for DIY craft projects–they can be translated into so many other events–not just weddings!
I will most likely DIY my centerpieces, invitations and ceremony decor. Maybe favors too–I have a mini dessert that is famous with our friends, but I’m not sure if I can be trusted to crank out a ton right before the wedding!

I love the templates! <3

my wedding was a chinese one so there weren't much crafts to do. also, it was quite a rushed wedding and I was very busy with work. if I could do my wedding all over again, I'd like something more english ^^
yay for nonpareil! (: absolutely heart it ;D
I happened upon NonPareil through a posting on Brooklyn Bride, and am super-excited.
I love DIY posts…I feel like this is a natural extension for the Readymade/Bust crowd as we start getting married and searching for ways to leave our personal imprint on our weddings in a classy, finished way.
I’d like more favor ideas, tablescapes, and maybe some editorial/advice on dealing with caterers, doing it all yourself (e.g. getting liquor licenses, making cakes…whatever!) I’d also love venue ideas…personally, living in the DC area (VA), I’m not really looking foward to the sheer amount of colonial mansions I’m likely to be exploring over the next couple of months. I want glass!
In this particular issue, I really liked the favor boxes, styled several ways and the hair accessories. Stationery ideas are always nice.
I’m probably doing a lot of the styling, flowers, favors, and designing the invitations myself for my upcoming nuptials, but depending on what venue we end up going with, there could be a couple more things. I’m also mostly designing my wedding dress (although having it made will be an entirely different can o’ worms).

So looking forwary to the next issue!
I follow both Inspired Bride and Paper Crave blogs, so I was very excited for this first issue to come out!

I loved all of the projects but my favorite was the favor boxes. There is so much you can do with them! I feel like the possibilities are endless.

hi there:
i am sitting in front of a fire sipping green tea and reading your wonderful, inspirational magazine. i found your site through twig + thistle, among others. i am interested in all crafts but i would especially like to see more sewing and knitting projects. for example how to turn a vintage knit top into a button down cardigan or knitted thank you gifts. my favorite project was the tulle flower headband – so easy yet so elegant! i would most likely DIY the desserts (cupcakes and other sweets), bridesmaids gifts and bridal accessories.
thanks again so much for your great ideas
That headpiece is stunning!
1. Twitter
2. More DIY decor ideas
3. Love the $45 or less centerpieces!
4. I crafted a ton for my wedding, but the most labor intensive were my vellum wrapped votives (http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/03/02/lovin-the-diy/) and ceremony programs (http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/08/23/they-better-not-throw-these-away/)!
1. I found you on twitter!
2. I would like to see projects for wedding accessories like this in the future. For example, can we do our own napkin designs? Or namecards?
3. In this issue, I like the keepsake boutonnieres best.
4. For my wedding, I am most likely going to do my own hair accessories. They can be costly due to labor if bought readymade.
How did you find us? * I have seen you on several blogs, but today I found you again on http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/ which I found via blog it forward from http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/
What kinds of projects would you like to see from us (or more of) in the future? I would like to see some lighting options for garden weddings
What was your favorite project in this issue? so many! loved the printable invites, and the wedding decorations article, oh and the fascinators…
What aspect of your wedding are you most likely to DIY (or if you’re already married, what did you craft yourself)? I want to do as much as I possibly can diy, from my veil, to the decorations and maybe some of the cooking
Thanks for a great magazine
I found you through the Creature Comforts blog and the projects I would like to see is more centerpiece ideas and diy projects with ribbons. I absolutely loved the second headband hair piece and the white felt flower boutonierre. I am getting married this summer, so the parts that I am planning on crafting myself are the wedding favors and possibly the centerpieces.
Keep up the good work!
Chrissy
I found you through the “My 10K Wedding” blog
I enjoy paper crafting, so, I am interested in templates and techniques for decor and stationary
I like the “Bevy of Beautiful Boxes” feature. My favorite is the Chocolate Lovers box.
For my own wedding, I put together the favors (home made fortune cookies in DIY takeaway containers), a wishing tree, and the ’save-the-date” cards
* I found you via Creature Comforts, so glad I did!
* Future projects – there were so many lovely ones in this issue so well covered. I like simple DIY.
* My favorite part in this issue was the table top decor. I loved seeing the big bang for your buck, really inspiring
* we Diy’d an ice cream cone stand for our wedding, so the waiters could easily walk around and pass out the ice cream cones
1. A few sources, including my sister Elissa, Polka Dot Bride, my bridesmaid Michelle.
2. Bonboniere ideas, DIY invitation ideas, bridal party attire (groomsmen and groom and bridesmaids and bride) and every aspect of a wedding!
3. My favourite project was the pretty printables, lots of inspiration there!
4. Most likely to DIY the invitations and bomboniere/wrapping
1. A link from Ruby Press Blog
2. Favors, invites, reception decorations, centerpieces etc.
3. The budget centerpieces
4. I am doing the following DIY projects…Invites, favors, centerpieces, hair accessory.
I found you through my web browsing, which started on onewed.com
I would love to see a project on how to incorporate lots of children in the ceremony.
I love everything I see!! Such feminine and delicate style, but still modern! My favorite was the pretty pretty printables, and your downloads.
For my wedding, I will most likely do all of the decor my self, which will be to be cohesive with nature, for an outdoor wedding.
Love everything!
You’re killing me with all of the cuteness!
Okay:
.:I wish I could remember how I clicked over to you today. Just followed my usual rabbit-trail that my google-reader blogs take me on and voila! here i landed. If I do end up remembering I’ll be sure to let you know!
.:Keep on with all of the tutorials. Would love to see more formal diy centrepieces for party/reception tables.
.:The boxes. The centrepieces. Everything, actually. It’s all so pretty I want to touch it.
.:As much of it as I can possibly do without either pulling out my hair or turning grey haired. Number One goal: preserve the sanity, enjoy the process!
I love the concept of this magazine! I found you through a blog called avie. I would love to see more DIY tutorials. My favorite subject was the hair accessories. I am a graphic design so I made my invitations (handtied three hundred+plus bows=insanity!), programs, favors, rehearsal dinner (a fusion of cajun and thai) and various decorations. I also hand embroderied lace hemmed hankies for the bridesmaids as a gesture how unique and special each one of them were to me.
1. I found you through Creatures Comfort’s blog, but after that lots of others kept mentioning you!
2. More DIY tutorials! And it would also be nice some ideas on how to decorate the room in general, like garlands, paper lamps, etc.
3. I loved the favor boxes article. Loved how from just one template there’s so many lovely results to be achieved!
4. I’m a graphic designer, so even though I would like to craft everything, it’s more likely I will have to stick to all stationary related items and any paper based favors.
PS: Congratulations! It’s a great magazine!

2. Tablescapes and DIY Details
3. It was all lovely – loved the favor boxes and centerpieces
4. I am going to DIY everything I can (except attire)
Lovely magazine! I found you creature comforts and can’t wait to pass news of you on! I’m hoping to help out with my brother’s upcoming wedding and this magazine fits both my and my to-be sister-in-law’s aesthetic. I would love to see more projects broken down into budgets. I loved the hairpieces, I want to make some for myself in non-bridal colors! I’ll definitely make my jewelry for my wedding, and presents for my bridesmaids. I want to make my own invitations. I’ll probably get help with the flowers because I’m just starting to learn about that and will definitely use a caterer! I could imagine my mom and myself making the rehearsal dinner meal, though.
1. I found the link on the Inspired Bride blog.
2. I would like to see more ideas on centerpices, non traditional ideas for decorations and favors, suggestions on how to incorporate lavander and grapes in a meditteranean style september weding (our wedding is going to be held in my home country, Croatia. My wish is to have lavander and grapes as the theme, because September is the month when lavander blooms and grapes are picked, month when we get out hands dirty to make wine and when we stuff small bags with lavander to put them in our closets. The problem is that the restaurant is very elegant, so I’m afraid that the rustic look of grapes and lavander might not be suitable for such restaurant).
3. I love all the DIY projects, but i absolutely fell in love with DIY hair accessories, as I’ve been looking for something a little bit different to have in my hair. Also, the story on centerpeces on budget was very inspiring and helpful.
4. We would like to do as much as possible ourselves (it is a different feeling when you know that you have done it yourself or with the help of your friends, rather then have it made by some stranger. Also, we are on a tight budget!). What have already done ourselves (with the help of a very dear friend) are invitations, what we are plannig on still doing oursleves: thank you cards, table numbers, possibly favors, possibly bouttoniers, and decor of the restaurant. We are on a tight budget so…
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us and the wonderful advices.
Oh wow, pretty!

-Found you from Once Wed
-I’d love to see how to use everything from your wedding in real life and not just go into storage after the big day.
-Fave project was the super cute keepsake boutonniers
-For my wedding I DIY’d everything from the cake topper to the favors. It really brought out my creative side.
:::I found you on Once Wed
:::I would like to see more DIY centerpiece and decoration projects
:::I love the headband tutorial
:::Almost everything (invitations, place cards, programs, decorations, centerpieces, cake topper, favors…)
I found you through your button on Once Wed : )
Definitely would love to see more inexpensive (non-flower) centerpiece ideas! Especially so that I don’t end up having to take home 175 candles – I would love to see centerpiece ideas that are also wedding favors!
I JUST printed your envelope box tutorial…I’m thinking of them stacked up on a cake stand in the center of our tables…if I’m able to actually MAKE the box ; )
We are DIYing our flowers for sure, hopefully our centerpieces and we’re making our flower girl dresses (mini sailor dresses) for our cruise wedding!
Thanks for the great giveaway – love the headband!
I found you on blog Apartment 34.
I would love to see more of the DIY floral and accessories tutorials.
I am in love with the hair pieces.
I would do most of the decorating DIY, center pieces, give away’s, place settings etc.
1, I found you on Facebook via My Splendid $10,000 Wedding by Vera Devera
2. I would love to see:
a. more double duty items (e.g. centerpieces that are also favors or part of a meal instead of just decoration)
b. breaking down a project into 3 different price points. For example, instead of “centerpieces under $45″, what if you featured “centerpieces for $7, $25 or $45″ so that viewers can see a range of what they can do cost-wise.
c. a tutorial on simplified, wedding-esque, Mexican Papel Picado banners and other paper-based wedding decorations.
3. My favorite project is the bird cage veil (layered ruffled fascinator).
4. The DIY projects I am doing for my wedding are the save the dates, invitations, programs, name cards, decorations, bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, hair accessories, favors and thank you cards.
