DIY Touches

I made up this board to showcase some of the DIY touches that I will be adding to our wedding (when it finally gets here!). Our budget might be low, but our creativity is certainly high and with my imagination (and hubby-to-be’s practicality) we hope to pull it off… it’s not like we don’t have enough time to plan either :-p

Most of our wedding will have a DIY touch incorporated in some way - from our invitations which we are hand-designing ourselves to our food, cake, flowers and favours. 

All of our flowers will be hand-done, incorporating a mixture of pure white and colourful arrangements in glass vases, jars and other miscellaneous holders. We’ve already got our friends and family collecting empty jam jars and vases for us to use!

DIY food touches will include lots of home-made cakes, cupcakes, pies and biscuits, mini personalized jars of honey and jam for our guests to take away and lots of donated items for our buffet! Along with all of our stationary we will be designing and printing our own labels for favours, water bottles and my personal favourite - our personalised matchboxes. Admittedly they aren’t an original idea but we will be having those printed on one side with our names and date of wedding and on the other the definition of marriage and the quote ‘the perfect match’.
