How To Prepare For A DIY Wedding

Create Your Own Flower Bouquet

One of the steps that a bride could take is to create their own flower bouquet. Although third parties do an excellent job of presenting the most gorgeous and romantic flowers possible, some brides like to add that personal touch and form their own bouquet. This only makes proceedings feel even more special, and there is a real sense of pride on your behalf when the finished bouquet is on display come the wedding day. This also allows you to add variety and design a totally unique arrangement of flowers.

Rent Your Own Attire

The happy couple may not want to purchase their dress and suit to wear on a permanent basis. It is possible that you instead prefer to rent your clothes for the ceremony. This could be a logical decision if you do not plan to wear their wedding clothes again in the future. And it is a potential way to save money, thus increasing your budget in other areas.

Create Unique Wedding Favours For Guests

Wedding favours are the small yet memorable gifts that the happy couple distribute on the day. These can take up many forms, but it always helps if there is a private meaning behind them. That is why for a DIY wedding, you could create your own wedding favours. Whether they are sweets, cufflinks, badges, stickers, or anything else, the more creative and significant that they can be, the more likely it is that the guests will treasure them.

Here at Clawdd Offa Farm, we can help you to plan the wedding of your dreams. But it could be that you want to take a more active role in bringing the big day to life. Hence the term DIY wedding, where the bride plays a more active role in piecing together the key elements of her wedding day. But how much responsibility would you take if you decide to go down this route? That is what today’s article is all about, as we explore how you, the bride, can appropriately prepare for a DIY wedding!

Stay Local

Not every couple wants to travel to the Mediterranean or even to another city in the UK for their big wedding. There is a certain charm to keeping with a local church and a local entertainment complex, especially if the venues themselves are regularly used by the bride and groom. This makes life much easier for most of the guests, and it also shows everybody that you do not forget your roots, not to mention that, again, it could keep costs down.

Set An Entertainment Budget

It is so cool when the wedding couple find a way to hire a professional singer or a state-of-the-art dancefloor, but are these necessary? By keeping a financial cap on the entertainment, you can allocate funds towards other elements of the wedding while still putting smiles on faces during the party. Plus, who is to say that either of you might not have some talents of your own to show off?
