diy Decorations

I would say the sooner the better. If you're hoping to build decor using seasonal items, it would be best to get it now on end of season clearance and work on it throughout the year.

That’s a great idea! Our color is red so after the holidays might be good for some of it also. Thank you

Also I made a typo in my post, it’s less than a year away.

I agree with PP,the sooner the better,i always knew i wanted a hoolahope type center piece,it took 3 of us 3 months to finish this

Picture didnt attach

Get it as soon as it goes on sale

View Quoted Comment Ohh that’s gorgeous! I bet it was worth it!

View Quoted Comment I love these so much!! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the hoops for them? (:

View Quoted Comment That looks similar to my centerpieces! This photo is what we will be doing with them and adding flowers above the bulbs and some fairy lights on the base of the hoop. Here’s what mine look like. We will be putting them together in November and my wedding is in March. And we are putting our invasions together in December to send them out in January. Here’s a photo of our envelopes.

View Quoted Comment Hoops,are actually a hoola hoop from dollar store,we spray painted them gold...

Make a plan and calendar a project to complete every week.

Congratulations!

View Quoted Comment These look amazing!!! If you don’t mind me asking, are those real flowers or fake. I’m trying to do the same but I need to do fake flower centerpieces to cut costs!

Do what you can now. The time will FLLLLLLY by! Trust me! I have had a 2 year engagement and we are down to almost the year mark( 9/19/2020) and once that hits I am in full panicked and wedding mode!
Tons of DIY painting and sweets making and hotel bags.... soooo yeah do what you can now.

You should definitely do as much as you can now! So you have the time to enjoy the holidays with your family and friends. Maybe dedicate 2 days a week, so you’re not feeling burnt out

Thank you for all of the responses! I will go ahead and start gathering supplies and looking for sales! I am a planner so I like to take my time with things anyway!!

Seems like your start time would be personal and based on how much availability you have and how quick you are with crafts. When it comes to DIY, I see a lot of brides shift gears in the middle of the road, which seems to prolong and drag out the process. My suggestion before starting would be to decide exactly what DIY projects you want. List out what they are and all items needed. That way you’re more efficient.

Start as soon as you can! Write down every step you need to take to complete each project because those little things add up. I'm DIY'ing our wedding, and with less than 40 days to go, I wish I had started the day we got engaged. Lol

Yesterday if you don’t have help. Tomorrow if you have a few extra hands.

Yes definitely whenever you can start so that you can get to off season sales
