One of the biggest myths around weddings is that DIY is cheaper- isn’t. It can be more stressful, take up oodles of time and resources. But it can also be incredibly fun, a chance to personalise something and a chance to get really creative. If you just want something fun, there are stacks of down-loadable freebies created by amazingly talented designers available around the blog world.
This week is lacking pretty pictures, because when talking dollars, they don’t tend to come out. So here’s a little light relief, a little beauty and hopefully a little inspiration of some of my favourite recent DIY projects around the web.
Recycled Paper Flowers from Maya Made
Printable Wedding Fans from Color Me Inspired
DIY Lighted Paper Pennant Garland from Once Wed
DIY Fortune Cookies from Benign Objects
Vintage Hankies Save The Dates from The Wedding Chicks
DIY ‘La Dolce Vita’ Party Candy Cup with Carry Handle from Eat, Drink, Chic
Hot Cocoa Vials From The Inspired Bride
DIY Cupcake Liner Garland from 100 Layer Cake
