10 Wedding DIY Projects you Can Totally Handle

Décor & Flowers

Even if you’re not the craftiest bride or groom-to-be in the world, there’s plenty you can do to add some special touches to your Big Day. We love it when couples personalise different aspects of their decor and celebration, and think it really goes towards guests feeling truly immersed in the couple and their relationship on the day! From gorgeous personalised hangers to vintage family photo table ‘numbers’, pretty backdrops and a gracious guest-baked dessert table, here are some of our top wedding DIY projects which we think you can totally handle*.
