We are grateful to all of the people who contributed to this bookwe couldnt have done it without your talent, patience, and support.

First and foremost are the talented artists and crafters who helped us make, style, and capture each of the projects. Joseph De Leos flawless eye ensured that each photograph was picture-perfect and each chapter coherent; he was ably assisted by Kazuhito Sakuma and Jesse Brown. Lindsay Milne and Laura Seita from LMD New York created the beautiful floral arrangements. Jayme Murray lent her expertise for creating the books cover. Tricia Roush contributed the stunning and helped bring many of the sewing projects to a level of perfection we couldnt have achieved on our own. Chun Yee ONeill kept us organized on set and helped realize many of the projects; her origami skills are unmatched! Michele Papineau contributed her beautiful calligraphy and know-how for the calligraphy tutorial and created the handwritten stationery featured throughout the book. Finally, our heartfelt thanks to Kim Field, John Ceparano, and Rachel Reese of Aloft Studio, for letting us wreck the place.

Hello!Lucky staff and friends provided untold amounts of support over the year-plus that the projects were in development. Were grateful to the entire Hello!Lucky team for letting our studio become a constant work in progress/den of crafting chaos. Designers Shauna Leytus and Anna Hurley assisted with the graphic design of several of the printed materials, contributed ideas to our brainstorming, and helped execute several craft projects. Renee Grelecki helped organize, pack, and ship a virtual art studio (weighing more than two hundred pounds!) to New York for the photo shoot. Hannah McDevitt contributed her sewing expertise, Francois Vigneault and Shayna Brown lent their extraordinary crafting skills to R & D, and intern Hillary Burgess advised on cupcake-stand ideas. Erin Murphy, Margaret Lee, Jillian Northrup, and Dara Kosberg were our trusty project testers, joining us for many a craft night.

Eunice and Sabrina are also indebted to their clients, particularly Jean and Devin, for providing the inspiration for several of the projects through their own weddings. All of us also owe thanks to the many bloggers, artists, and crafters who provide us with ongoing inspirationwere honored to be part of such a vibrant wedding and crafting community.

Several companies generously lent us supplies and materials for this book; please see the section on for a full list, as well as for the names of our favorite resources for crafting supplies.

Many thanks to our supporters at Chronicle Books: Kate Woodrow and Jodi Warshaw, who first welcomed our idea; Kristen Hewitt, for her flawless design and boundless enthusiasm; and our editor, Ursula Cary, for coaxing the project to completion.

And finally, such an ambitious project would not have been possible without the support of our family and friends:

EM: Thanks to my husband, Daniel, who oohs and aahs at the appropriate moments and who, always the gentleman, carried my sewing machine through multiple airports with only the occasional skeptically raised eyebrow.

SM: Thanks to my husband, Julian, for his patience and support, for indulging me with only the occasional wry aside as I wrote or crafted for weeks on end, ignoring other arguably critical responsibilities.

SF: Thanks to my mom, for caring for SB for weeks on end, and to my husband, Steven, for being so loving, supportive, and hilariously funny.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed; you helped make the process of creating this book as delightful as the final product.
