Our wedding in July was full of crafty goodness! This was partly due to necessity (ie budget) and partly because we wanted to create a unique and personal day that we will remember forever. Everything that we could DIY, we did! Since we held the ceremony and reception at our university, the only real vendor we dealt with was our wonderful photographer. Pretty much everything else was DIY, apart from a few Etsy purchases!
The invitations (made by me – these were the inspiration for PaperLeaf!)
The dress (made by moi). My headpiece was by the fabulous Myra Kim of Twigs & Honey at Etsy. The necklace is my grandmothers and my other jewellery was by Basil the Cat at Etsy.
The flowers (by my wonderfully talented sister-in-law/bridesmaid Mina)
The cake (a team effort involving several lovely friends, my mum and me)
The favours (cookies, baked in advance by me and the husband), in Gocco’d bags!
The table names and placecards
The bunting (me and my mum)
Finally, Thabs did the reception/party music in iTunes so we didn’t need a DJ. Phew! A lot of hard work, but absolutely worth it! Is anyone else having a DIY wedding?
oh my, your wedding was so stunning! i love all of the DIY projects, especially your dress!
Wow, that really is properly DIY all the way down to making your own dress! Fantastic! And it turned out really beautiful
