Planning your own DIY wedding can make the entire process extremely fun and involving for your wedding a party of girls. Marriage should never start with the debt of paying off a wedding, and with these basic tips and ideas on making your own wedding everything, t can be beautiful, fun and affordable!
DIY photography
Professional photographers cost a fortune, and they require the guests to have a separation time from the bridal party, while also making a distinction between the “important” guests and the “general” guests. Instead, place disposable cameras everywhere and encourage the guests to take photos of anything beautiful and memorable.
Photographers also walk among us, and asking a friend or a relative with a decent camera to take a few shots of the ceremony and the reception will save you a great big sum. Taking the photos to a graphic designer and asking for basic edits can make the happy memories look super professional.
DIY Cake
Get creative with your wedding cake! Opposing the strict traditional and extremely expensive tiered cake, rather opt for a “decorate your own cupcake” stand, with super large cupcakes. Or bake your own cake, and follow YouTube tutorials on professional cake decorating to do your own. Alternatively, have a large, gorgeous cake professionally bakes, but remove the word “wedding” and cut your costs. Then, buy your own decorations and make it “wedding” at home!
DIY Flowers and Décor
Visiting your local florist and buying flowers as they are according to your wedding colours can yield unique and delightful arrangements, if you arrange them yourself at home. Flowers speak for themselves and require very little to make them truly beautiful. For bohemian styles, adding some pretty lace trim from your local sewing shop with adding a personal style to the arrangements. Flowers do not have to be real to create real wonder and awe. Fake flowers which are available from décor shops can have an equally awesome effect on your décor, and they can be reused!
Décor can be simplistic and highly effective by having the same basic approach. Find a wholesale décor supplier that rents or sells unique pieces and make your own unique ensembles. Pinterest is a great place to start your inspiration and grow from there.
DIY Sound
While many brides or grooms may have a friend who DJ’s or knows someone with a band, many of us do not. If you do not, simply hire a jukebox with a playlist, or even better, let your guests choose the music! It will ensure that everyone gets to play their favourite song and provide your wedding with an amazing variety of music and genres.
DIY Party Favours
Party favours can be unique and fun if you make them or put them together yourself. Plants, like small cactuses, are a lovely way to send your guests off. A jar of biscuits you made yourself or a pretty basket of chocolates are lovely too. “Thank you for your encourage-mint” with a variety of mint flavoured chocolates, candles and soaps in a handmade box decorated with dried mint leave just shout classy and cute!
The DIY wedding is easy, fun and should take the financial stress away from both the bride and groom. DIY your memories and your marriage, for a long and more lasting happiness.
