How much of your wedding Diy?

I would say we’ve got a moderate amount of DIY. I made or am making signs, bridesmaids bouquets, a garland for the reception space, our card box, and our escort cards. Our centerpieces are technically DIY in the sense that we are not using a florist, but they’re just simple candles and flower petals. Invitations were designed on Vistaprint using one of their templates, so that’s another semi-diy. My mom is making my jewelry and I’m doing my own makeup as well. We wrote our own ceremony and vows. I think that’s all of it!

View Quoted Comment I love that your mom is making your jewelry! Do you have pics of your centerpiece vision?

I diy my invites, centerpieces, and some signs. I guess my boba bar was completely diy also and candy buffet table.

View Quoted Comment Thanks! This is the really bare bones centerpiece mock-up I did a while ago. The candles and table number will be the same, but the petals will be real yellow freeze dried ones and the greenery will be different. I’m also toying with adding some small wood rounds under each candle like in the photo below, but I’m not sure yet.

Nothing yet because I haven’t started, but probably a fair amount.

I didn’t do any DIY for our wedding. I had a destination wedding so I had to travel with a lot as is so I took only was was really need it. I also had a modern theme decor with signs printed in acrylic that it was impossible for me to make myself.

So far, my DIYs are:

making paper flowers from maps for centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres (our wedding is travel themed). The other flowers in our bouquets will be artificial flowers from Hobby Lobby

Spray painting vases from the dollar store for centerpieces. I am using a gold glitter paint!

Spray painting candle holders from Ikea for ceremony aisle decor.

I may end up with some more DIY, but that is all for now 🙂

View Quoted Comment What a beautiful and simple setup with the candles. I do love the round woods but they’ll probably set you back, if it’s in your budget I think they’ll look great!

View Quoted Comment When is your wedding date Jennifer? I love how spray paint can transform anything! I did some shopping at hobby lobby for flowers too!

I did a decent amount of DIY. These were my centerpieces and bouquets:

And then my favors/escort cards:

My wedding date is 10/3/2020, which gives me plenty of time to get all of the DIY done. Hobby Lobby has been a god send for all of my DIY stuff!

The description of your DIY sounds beautiful!

View Quoted Comment I love your centerpiece with the succulent! And the bouquets! I love those skeleton keys. I was actually considering some myself

View Quoted Comment Hobby lobby truly is a god send isn’t it? These are my inspo for my wedding

Definitely. Especially when they have 50% off floral! I love your inspo pics; I'm sure yours will turn out equally as beautiful!

This is my mock up for my centerpieces. We will have twinkle lights in the garland and adding ferns into the mix

90 percent is DIY.
We are having a rather large wedding and slot of our families are gifting us for the wedding exm....decos,cake,dj etc.
Basically I'm doing all the center pieces, floral arrangements, backdrop,lanterns etc.
Congratulations

Right now - just my signs. All the chalkboards I bought from Hobby Lobby when they were having their 1/2 sale (with the exception of the big one as that was on clearance for $20, and the medium size easels as they are considered furniture). The small chalkboard were done via free hand, the bigger ones I bought decals from Etsy. I have one more to do (medium easel - that says booze & I do’s, it will be by the outside bar that will serve the cocktail hour after the ceremony). I had the decal designed it’s attached but the black portion is actually white to stick out on the chalkboard. Besides that it’s just buying the easels for the flat chalkboard (sadly these do not go on sale at Hobby Lobby) so I usually grab 1x at a time & use their 40% coupon.

View Quoted Comment Lovely lanterns and garland Amber! I love the daisies. Our inspo is similar except mine with have white flowers and the base of the laterns will have a circle of garland and flowers

I love your decals! And your wedding hashtag. In your opinion from what you’ve seen what’s the average price for easels and chalkboards?

Thanks those are sunflowers to match my bouquets and theme. My cousin suggested wrapping garland around the lanterns as well.
