How much of your wedding Diy?

View Quoted Comment It doesn’t necessarily need the garland wrapped around but you can try it! I’m doing that because some tables will be long tables and some round tables so for the round tables I want the lanterns wrapped so they don’t look plain

View Quoted Comment Hey, just wanted to say were date twins!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! The chalkboard & easels prices are honestly all over the place. I looked online & at craft stores & IMO Hobby Lobby is the best. Every other week they have 1/2 off. The medium size easels were the most @ $35 per each. The small chalkboards were the cheapest @ $3.50 (on sale). IMO Hobby Lobby have the sturdiest table easels for the cheapest price ($6.99) and that’s the gold metal one, with the 40% coupon it’s $4.20 & I need 7 of them. I got the best deal on the large chalkboard that was only $20 & it’s heavy. It will need a floor easel but the venue has floor easels so I don’t need to worry about that.

I wasn’t in love w/ the flower garland, so I picked up a different one today @ AC Moore - it was a bit more than I wanted to spend @ $21 per each, but they are beautiful.

Invitations, decorations, food, bouquets, boutonnieres. An aunt is going to make the cake as our gift.

Most of my wedding will be DIY-ed including my backdrop for the ceremony. I have plans to use a globe & sketchbook for my guestbook and vintage books for my centerpiece. There’s so much more detail to them but I plan on doing a lot to keep my budget in check.

View Quoted Comment Love it! How is the month of April in your city like? Cold? Warm?

View Quoted Comment All your easels and chalkboards with your decal already look great. I can see the vision. I’ll definitely be looking out for some at Hobby Lobby. Thanks!

Wow Destieta I am eager to see your decorations and ideas as ya you go! I love the idea of vintage books 📚 and a globe.

I’m going to make our centerpieces and I’m going to make our seating chart and some signs

We actually didn't need to DIY much because our venue will already be decorated for the holidays (our date is 12-7-2019).

We've DIY-ed our centerpieces, sweetheart table decor, small signage, and FB/RB items all for less than $250.

View Quoted Comment You’ll have a beautiful holiday wedding! I love the gold initials

Thank you. My mom gave them to us yearsss ago and I just never used them for anything. They were the kraft paper letters you get at Michaels, so all they needed was a quick paint job.

View Quoted Comment Congrats! How are you doing with everything? I believe that July 6th is 99 days out! I’m so excited to be nearing the finish line.

View Quoted Comment Gold is so classy. Gold is one of your wedding colors right? Gold and red?

View Quoted Comment It’s one of our accent colors- we’re mostly using reds and greens.

We painted our jars, which will use to hold flowers, other will be used as candles holders/floating candles. We also made our our pew decor. We also are using wine glasses upside down (white roses instead of red ones).

I love DIY touches. It really personalizes a wedding IMO 👰

View Quoted Comment I love your pew decor! Is that tulle? I need to think of pew/church decor as well as they’re very picky on what I can and can’t have: no runners, no flower petals, nothing on the pews can be hung in a manner that will damage the pew or interfere with people

View Quoted Comment Yes it is!!! I’m going to wrap them around the pews, then cut to the length I need. Tie it with white pipping. The flowers will be tired with wire and ribbon. I’ll then added it to the white tulle.

I have already DIYed the following:
Mine and bridal bouquets
Boutenierres
Reception table Centerpieces
Table Runners
I designed our STDs and had them printed out
I also designed our details cards for invites
Made embroidery loop and lace hanging decor
Cake plate
Tulle, bows & Shepherd's hooks to "outline" the reception area
Doilies and Jute String hanging decor

Still have left to DIY:
Our wooden sign guest book
Signs for wedding
Monogrammed bridesmaid robes

View Quoted Comment Love it! You definitely gave me some inspo 😍😍
