What should you DIY?
Big items that are central to the event, are low volume and as a result, are perfect for DIY. Why low in volume? Because putting effort into intricate items is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Subsequently, brides often overextend themselves with projects such as these. Examples of impractical undertakings are often seen in the form of party favors or invitations, for instance.
However, don’t sacrifice quality over quantity. Larger items will be seen by all and so planning them out properly plays a role in executing the wedding of your dreams.
How to save money
Go thrift shopping for items to fit the theme of your wedding and then up-cycle the items with a new coat of paint or a good cleaning to elevate and bring life to your new purchases.
Common items regularly found in thrift stores include:
- Picture frames
- Baskets
- Mirrors
- Vases
- Candleholders
Already have a wedding planner?
When it comes to DIY, the wedding planner can assume the responsibility of making sure these decorations make it to the event unscathed! A wedding planner is an excellent choice for the bride who wants to have a stress free wedding. Sharing ideas and decoration plans with your planner will be useful in styling and designing your DIY projects as well as being helpful in completing the plan for other non-DIY wedding decor essentials.
