We love that more and more brides are opting for a do it yourself wedding day, so we’ve decided to use it for this week’s top five inspirations from Instagram. From your centrepieces to your flower arrangements, DIY weddings and decorations are a cute and quirky way for not only saving costs but also adding that personal touch to your big day. What better way to make your wedding day unique and exclusive, then a handpicked flower bouquet or personally painted signs leading your guests to the dance floor?
The DIY style works best for those outdoor weddings that crave a rustic and bohemian vibe. The handmade decorations fit perfectly into the carefree countryside atmosphere and are sure to impress your friends and family on your special day. We love the idea of giving your guests a handmade party favour bag when they leave, allowing them to remember your special day for ever. If you love the bohemian look or you’re holding a spring or summer wedding, handmade flower crowns are a stunning choice of accessory.
We also saw easy-to-make crowns that are a striking choice for those brides who strive for the hippie chic look on their special day. Creating your very own centrepieces is another great and easy way for brides to incorporate the ‘do it yourself’ attitude into your special day. We love the idea of using a flowerpot full of beautiful blossoms as your centrepiece, again boasting that romantically rustic ambiance. Make sure you ask your bridal party for help. Not only will this half the job and take away some of the stress, but an evening of crafting with your best girls will be the perfect fun pre-wedding evening.
