A luxury wedding doesn’t always have to come with a luxury price tag. By going the DIY route you can save a lot of money while still adding personal touches that will make your wedding more meaningful and beautiful. We’re here to break down six areas where DIY-ing can easily make a huge impact, with the help of a few of our printables, of course!
Centerpieces
With a little creativity it can be easy to DIY a gorgeous centerpiece. Tall, skinny vases overflowing with flowers make a big visual impact but don’t have to cost much if you have a little creativity. Vases can be found at the dollar store and flowers and filler from the grocery store or farmer’s market for a much more affordable price. Gather your bridesmaids and make it a fun night before the big day as you arrange centerpieces together.
Name Cards
Custom name cards and place settings are a beautiful touch to any wedding table display, but hiring a professional calligrapher can get pricey really quickly. Printable name cards are a much more affordable alternative that can still present the same stunning result. Guests will feel extra special seeing their name on a personalized name tag, and without them knowing how affordable they were, their name card will add a gorgeous touch to the tablescape.
Flower Wall
Flower walls are becoming quite popular in the wedding world. They can make for a stunning focal point at your ceremony, and are more simple than you think to DIY. A hanging feature can be made using string and faux flowers and used as a backdrop for ceremonies, head tables or even just for photo ops. Plus, using faux flowers means you can use whatever your favorite blooms are without worrying about blowing your entire wedding loan on your flowers.
Monogrammed Robes
Nothing says luxury like slipping into an adorable, personalized robe while you have your hair and makeup professionally done before your wedding. Monogrammed robes for you and all of your bridesmaids can be easy to DIY with the help of a vinyl cut out machine and iron-on fabric. Even after your wedding you’ll love putting on your robe with your new initials and reliving the memory.
Lighting
Lighting is a great way to transform the atmosphere in a room, but there is no need to spend a lot of money on professional lighting. Ask if your venue can dim or turn off some of their main lighting and bring in some mood lighting sources like string lights, flameless candles or hanging lanterns. The key here is to really go all out so, for example, if you’re using candles put them everywhere—on tables, bars, sideboards, shelves, any flat surface! Not only will it look spectacular, it will give off the right amount of light so that your guests aren’t feeling like they’re stuck in the dark.
Favors
Our custom wine labels are a great way to create a personalized wedding favor your guests will truly enjoy. Order your favorite wine in bulk from a wholesale retailer, add your custom label and display the bottles by the venue exit so everyone remembers to pick one up as they leave. Your guests will reflect on fond memories of your wedding day when they open the bottle on a special night!
