Stationery Week: Your Memories
Over the course of your engagement you'll probably collect pictures, paint chips, fabric swatches and a million other details. You can either store everything in a box or bag in your parents' basement, or you can create a wedding scrapbook with the highlights of everything from the moment he proposed till the moment your plane touched down after your honeymoon.
But before you buy scissors and glue, you need to have an idea of what you want to include. You can make an outline of different parts of your planning process - the moment he proposed, your save-the-date card, invite, swatch of your dress fabric, etc... - or you can buy a scrapbook that will help guide you along the way.
Martha Stewart Weddings magazine's Editorial Director, Darcy Miller - she's been scrapbooking since she was a kid - created Our Wedding Scrapbook which is filled with adorable drawings (by Darcy) and templates to help you figure out what to put where.
If you consider yourself a true DIY Bride, create your own scrapbook from scratch! You can find a variety of scrapbooks, paper, embellishments and supplies at Martha Stewart Crafts. The line is available at the company's Web site and craft stores.
