There are lots of lovely ways to give your wedding that personal touch and DIY is one of them. While it won’t be for everyone, if you do love a good project (or have a few of the girls you can rope in), it can be a gorgeous way to put your own stamp on your day and show off your amazing talents as well. Some projects won’t take you more than an hour or two tops while others will require a couple of months of serious collecting and the odd battle or two with a glue gun but most of these projects are suitable for all DIYers – you don’t have to be particularly crafty to pull them off. Some bits like old wine bottles and jam jars you can collect at home and won’t cost you a thing and if you’re after some pretty little extras, the likes of Hickeys is great for materials for your projects with everything from ribbons and sequins to fabrics and craft supplies.
Today we’re taking some inspo from real weddings and are showcasing some fab DIY details couples have used for their own Big Day. We’re particularly taken with Julie and Scott’s recent bash, check out their wedding for a masterclass in cool, DIY style and some other brilliant ideas below. Of course you don’t have to have a crafty bone in your body but can still have a bit of a DIY feel for your day – there are suppliers out there that will nail the look for you.
