4 Cheap and Easy DIY Wedding Projects
Avoid the $2.8 million dollar price tag that comes with throwing your own royal-level wedding by getting in touch with your crafty side. Not an artist? No problem: These four incredibly simple projects cost almost nothing and you don’t even need professional calligraphy skills to pull them off.
Baby’s Breath Aisle Arrangements
Don’t spend money on flower arrangements that won’t even make it past the ceremony. For a simple aisle flourish that takes less time to throw together than the Wedding March, soak the labels off of spice jars and baby food bottles and secure them to the interior seats with twine, then add a centimeter of water and a handful of baby’s breath to each. Want to make it even easier? Skip the string and set the jars on the ground at even intervals along the aisle.
Tulle-Wrapped Balloons
Add a little edge to white wedding balloons by wrapping them in a layer of sheer tulle. Gather the fabric at the base of the balloon, tie with a ribbon and fan the edges for a uniquely feminine embellishment.
Upcycled Table Bar
Put that table in your garage to good use by turning it into a backyard bar. Best for smaller groups hosted at home, an old dining table spruced up with a few natural flourishes and a dedicated liquor selection adds rustic charm to your backyard reception.
Spice Blend Wedding Favors
If you love to cook, consider whipping up a personal spice blend as a tastefully creative wedding favor. Buy your spices in bulk and blend in a large mixing bowl before filling up cheap glass jars (or even plastic baggies if you’re really stretched thin). Finish with a personalized name card and your guests will think of you fondly every time they visit the pantry.
Do It Yourself
A wedding doesn’t need to be expensive — it just needs to be you. Add a personal touch to your big day with these four fast and frugal decorative fixes.
