My fiance and I own a handmade, crafting business, so it was an easy decision for us to decide to DIY our entire wedding. It has taken a lot of time but with the right planning, and sticking to schedule, we are getting it done. Our wedding is May1 so we are getting close. So far, we have DIY'd:
napkin rings
cushions for seating
handfasting cord
invitations and RSVP's
dyeing of sand for sand ceremony
guest "book"-mounted driftwood
Still working on and left to do:
altar
light towers
flowers, bouquets, boutineers
centerpieces
program/fans
reception catering
I considered making my dress but decided I would be too much of a perfectionist to do that myself, although I've made them for other brides.
