Pinterest. Wedding websites. Your best friend. Everyone
seems to be on the do-it-yourself bandwagon. It’s a great way for couples to
save money and give their wedding a personal touch. But with everything you
have to do, does it make sense to add more stress to your wedding planning?
Know your strengths:
Are you usually a crafty person? Is your home filled with beautiful, homemade
projects that you’ve enjoyed creating? Then go for it! But if the last work of
art you created was the handprint Thanksgiving turkey in second grade, you may
want to reconsider the 250 elaborate lace-and-glitter-paint Mason jar lantern
project.
Check your costs:
Sure, DIY sounds like it will save money, but make sure your materials don’t cost
more than the finished project would at a party or specialty store. And your
time is worth something, too. Sometimes, it’s worth paying a little extra for a
lot fewer headaches.
Be prepared for less
than perfection: Part of the joy of DIY is that each piece is handcrafted.
That means imperfections in the process, and your rustic tree branch
candleholders may not exactly match the ones you saw on Pinterest. But isn’t
that the point? You made it yourself, and it should reflect you!
Here at the Heritage, we are happy to work with you
whichever way your party favors, centerpieces or place cards come to us: from
you, your florist, or your great-aunt. Our wedding professionals will help you
