43 DIY Wedding Projects For The Budget Bride

Affordable DIY Save the Date Postcards

I'm cross-posting this from my other craft blog... After I started talking to the blogger behind Oh So Beautiful Paper (a great site!) after commenting on the Spanish Garden Party Save the Dates post because I was loving on their Save the Dates ( I have yet come to calling them STDs as it seems many wedding bloggers, do!) and color scheme.

I thought I'd share with you my easy way to make Save the Date postcards on the cheap

All it took was a little design research into what I liked, a little dabbling in Photoshop, a papel picado graphic that I tinted to match some aqua paper flowers I am using since we are having a bit of a fiesta/Dia de Los Muertos theme, a fun carnival font from 1001Fonts.com.

I was able to order 100 postcards for less than $37 at Vistaprint!! (Not including shipping and handling).

Now if only addressing and mailing them was that easy! Thanks to google docs' address web form, I am having some help with getting my address book into fighting shape.

Love this idea... at Ruffled

Entry #17: DIY Faux MilkGlass Centerpieces

Two wonderful sites for DIY Brides on a Budget!

We just got our mason jars in the mail that I am going to paint aqua for vintage-inspired centerpieces... Three didn't make it, but I wrote the company...

Also, Costo has wedding flowers in bulk discount.

I was just looking at ACC's flower arranging classes. I've been thinking about it, ever since seeing a florist shop for sale for $34k on Craigslist recently. My best friend and I talked about being florists in high school! And the wedding industry's such a racket... I kind of want to be on the other side of it!

DIY Tiny Tissue Paper Flowers from iDIY

More handmade flower-y goodness! I’ve seen similar ones but I’m particularly taken with Zakka Life’s tiny delicate version (used for table centerpieces above). So cute! These would be great too for flower garlands, gift toppers, table settings and napkin ring accents. Hop on over for the DIY tutorial and craft away!

...over at Ruffled:

"Our theme was Nostalgic Whimsy. Andrew and I are very sentimental people, collectors,creative crafty types. We wanted everything to be vintage or made to look that way. To have history and meaning. We focused on details and quality. What we couldn’t afford or find we made ourselves. That was important to us. We spent a year preparing for our wedding. It was quite a journey. We learnt new skills, we grew as people, grew closer to each other. We are proud of what we accomplished together and look forward to many new adventures..."
