Something Borrowed
Staff writer, DIY & Style History
Theo Marchetti
Theo worked in a costume shop through most of his twenties, which gave him an odd but useful fascination with where wedding traditions and styles actually came from. He writes Something Borrowed's DIY and style history posts, hand-lettered table numbers and centuries of bridal fashion alike, usually with a project he's actually made sitting on his desk as he writes. He still has the gold calligraphy pen from his first DIY project for the site.
