It’s no secret that weddings are expensive; however, they don’t have to be! If you consider yourself a DIY-maven, this is where you can cut costs or make your decorations more personal. Even if you’re not the craftiest person, you can still try your hand at DIY wedding decorations. We’re sharing some DIY wedding ideas that you can use (and that will actually look good)!
Petal Toss Bar
Petal toss bars have become a very popular trend for send-offs. They’re pretty simple to put together, and your guests will love it. All you need is a table, a basket, flower petals and paper cups to put them in (if you want). You can spruce the table up with candles or any other decor as well!
Chalkboard Wedding Program
Instead of printing off wedding programs for all your guests, create one big wedding program for all your guests to see when they arrive. This cuts printing costs, and you’re saving paper. This may also be a good idea for the menu and place cards at the reception!
Table Centerpieces
This one may be a little trickier, but if you have a knack for floral arrangements, this is perfect for you! Creating your own centerpieces, and table decorations, in general, will save money since you won’t need to hire someone to do these things. These decorations are also an easy way to get more personal with your guests.
Backdrops
There are plenty of fun ways to DIY a backdrop by using flowers, paper, lights, sheets, etc. Even if you’re not the most creative person, this can be an easy project.
Favors
DIY wedding favors can also be a pretty easy project. It just depends on how much time and money you want to put into this! We’ve seen brides make their own granola, create custom gift bags, pour scented candles and a number of other at-home projects that guests will enjoy as a token of your big day.
