Cheap DIY Wedding Ideas

Here are several cheap DIY wedding ideas you can do yourself and some you will need to get help from friends and family. If you are naturally talented with an artistic flare, and you love crafts and want to show off your handiwork, this is the right place for you!

DIY Wedding tasks:

• Wedding Favors

• Simple Floral and Candle Centerpieces

• Bridal and Bridesmaid bouquets

• Wedding Cake (or cupcakes)

• Food Catering - Think outside-the-box! Alternatives include:
• Afternoon tea
• Champagne and canapés
• Sit-down buffet instead of fully catered meal
• Catering yourself

• Ring Pillow

• Flower Girl Basket

• Enlist a tech-savvy friend to take care of your music

• Bridal Hair and Makeup

• Save the Date Cards, Programs, and Seating Cards

• Decorated keepsakes such as guest book, card box or photo album

Wedding Tasks for the Pros:

• Large Flower Arrangements and Centerpieces

• Your Wedding Dress (unless you can make it yourself!)

• Photography and Videography

Saving money is your goal, not driving yourself crazy. Limit the amount of projects you take on. Give yourself plenty of time to complete each one. Perhaps your mom is a fantastic cook and will make the wedding cake, the flowers could be done by an aunt and your make-up by your friend. Start asking around. Your friends will be honored to help and you’ll save a bundle.

Plan your projects so that you are finished at least one week before the big day. Food and fresh flower arrangements are projects that will need to be done one to three days before your wedding day. If you don’t have someone else to do this, leave it to the professionals!
