Close your eyes. Imagine your wedding day. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Breathtaking. Everything down to the very last detail has been planned – and then planned again. The day of the wedding comes and goes. A couple of months go by. You get your pictures back! As you and your new husband flip through the wonderful pages and pages of timeless moments, you come to a picture of your dress – your dress before it was on you. Your photographer was able to get a great shot of your dress hanging by itself draped in natural sunlight. Wait! Stop! What is THAT? Your $<insert an expensive number> dress is hanging, literally, hanging by a cheap looking run of the mill plastic hanger. Double points if said hanger has dry cleaning foam wrapped around it.
In order to prevent being horrified, I suggest some thought into your wedding dress hanger. It could be as simple as purchasing a plain wooden hanger.

Yes, I realize that this is a very insignificant detail in the great scheme of things. I do realize that I may have exaggerated just a little bit. BUT, if you are anything like me – it’s all about the details!
Check out hangers.com to order a custom monogrammed hanger. They have several different woods, fonts and designs to choose from.

Hello! My name is Bobbi and I was born and raised in Stanley, Wisconsin. I eventually grew up, left the nest and flew to Platteville, WI where I attended UW-Platteville and graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology. I found employment immediately with the state of Wisconsin in a profession that utilizes both of my degrees.
This past October my fiance and I purchased a home in Sun Prairie. We currently reside with a rescued greyhound named Gabby and a sleuth of a cat named Pot Roast. My fiance and I are getting married in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on September 6th of this year.
My dream wedding consists of saving money, do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, saving money and well… saving money. I love a good deal and will go to great lengths to achieve budgeting money saving success! Fortunately, this philosophy has given me the opportunity to create a wedding almost entirely of DIY projects. Some of my projects have given people more of a “WOW” then the most expensive creation found at a store. While I do consider myself “crafty,” I have hunted down, explored and created projects that anyone can do. I love sharing my treasures, deals, steals and creativity with other people. I consider it the utmost compliment when someone asks, “how did you DO that?”
In addition to my crafting endeavors, I am slowly learning the ropes of this whole engagement / house / pet ownership business. Humor seems to follow me and I have been more than happy to oblige in the successful documentation and delivery of sucsaid hilarity through my writings and blogs. Along with step-by-step directions in creating wonderful DIY projects, be prepared for the occassional “guess what my fiance did now” story (insert mental image of an angry man taking his sausage fingers and jamming precious invitations into an envelope). You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, but mostly you will laugh.
