It has happened to many a crafty bride: it starts with the best intentions to design and create a DIY invitation. Fast-forward to a paper explosion across the kitchen table, bits of tape stuck in hair and just one finished, (not nearly) perfect invite. Need some help? Turn to the new local go-to DIY resource, The Herban Design Studio. Launched in January within Sodo Park, the functional 1,800-square-foot space was created by Herban Feast owner BJ Duft in response to brides’ requests. “Clients often asked for additional help,” Duft says. “Now we can enhance this support with a beautiful space to plan, create and visualize.” The studio offers planning consultations ($45/hour) and hands-on help for projects both teensy and those that have turned catastrophic. The studio also offers full-service event styling, and Herban’s more popular décor items, such as ceramic cake stands ($10–$135), glass vessels for dessert bars ($4–$25), and luxe linens (prices vary) are also available for rent. The spot hosts evening DIY wedding workshops, which include materials, guided instruction and bites from Herban Feast Catering ($50 and up). Led by creative director Chad Burnworth, an upcoming class on terrarium centerpieces will guide participants in creating naturally embellished, succulent-filled terrariums ($65). Food, wine and full, hands-on instructions for DIY party favors? Martha Stewart, eat your heart out.
