Outside Wedding DIY Ideas

Not everything needs to be bought, including wedding decorations. Putting your own spin on things will not only make your wedding memorable for guests but especially for you. DIY decorations can be super simple and fun to create, We’ve put together 5 easy, outside wedding DIY ideas — even the least crafty person could manage these ones.

A chalkboard sign

All you need is a piece of chalk, a message to write and a spot for your sign.

Light bulb flower vase

Make use of your unused or dead light bulbs by creating a little vase out of them for centerpieces or garlands at your wedding reception.

Mason jar lights hung from trees

All you need are Mason jars, tea lights or candles, rope or string, and you’re set. You can decorate them however you’d like or give them to guests to create and add to a tree themselves.

Be punny

Mints with “mint to be” written on them or pretzels with “we tied the knot” are cute and cheesy — the good kind.

Set up your own photobooth

Grab the biggest picture frame you can find, and decorate it with flowers, paint, glitter, whatever you want, so guests can use it as a makeshift photobooth. Framing their own photos, they’ll have fun with it, and so will you. Instead of using a photographer to take these photos, set up a camera on a tripod, so guests can do it themselves.
