There are some things that just don’t go together when you’re planning your dream wedding. Pretty high on the list for me were terms like “Sam’s Club” and “Walmart.” I mean sure…you might swing into Sam’s Club to buy platters of snack food for your bridal party on the morning of the wedding or hit up Walmart to buy the fishing line you need to hang your paper lanterns…but for FLOWERS?

One of my favorite DIY projects from our wedding was our photo booth wall. I’d been hunting online and run across quite a few different photo booth ideas. While I loved the photo booth strip design where you walk away with several different shots, it was the mock prop walls that really made me fall in love with the idea.
