Things You May Want To DIY For Your Wedding
A wedding is one of those days that should be personal. No matter if your party size is 50 or 500 people, there are just so many options you can have. But adding your own flair and zest can end up being rewarding especially when you look back on your nuptials.
The Flowers
Flowers can get very expensive VERY quickly. The bouquet, centerpieces, wall art - prices easily soar into the thousands. For DIY flowers, you can try opting for a false flower approach like silk flowers, but if you want the feel and smell of actual flowers, we suggest finding them yourself. You can visit places like a flower market or a grocery store (Sam's Club or Costco) for good quality flowers. If your wedding is large, try online wholesalers like Flower Moxie and Blooms By The Box for awesome budget-friendly and premium flowers. If the quality is good, that's all that counts.

Wedding Program
Instead of wasting time, energy, and money, why not have one big board with the entire program? A jumbo wedding program can be a solution if you would rather go paperless. If you really want to be fancy, include a QR code at the bottom of your board that links to the picture to save trees and have a more eco-friendly wedding. No paper, no cleanup, no hassle.
DIY Cocktails
This is a good idea especially if you love to try new things. You can buy alcohol wholesale and mix them however you like. You can include your bridal party in this process if you want and have them help choose the winning cocktails and even make it a whole event. With this idea, you have the option of mixing the drinks early and storing them ahead of time or having the materials ready to go to the wedding. This is a fabulous way to cut down on alcohol costs, have a more concise variety of drinks, and even monitor how much your guests are consuming.
Photo Wall
For decor, why not have a wall of memories to show the journey of you and your mate walking down the aisle? Use fake foliage or even line twine to display the photos on a wall or a frame. You can even have another section to have guests add to the memories for a scrapbook! The possibilities are endless!
