It would cut down the cost of the wedding and use the money else where. The decorations will not be professional but they would give that personal touch.

DIY invites can be made with the help of computer. You can make hundreds of innovative invites in a jiffy. It just needs a bit of computer knowledge and some creativity. If you have helpful relatives, friends etc together you can make handmade invites with calligraphy pens and different sort of color papers, or anything that goes with the theme of the wedding. There are sites which will help you out with ideas.

The centerpiece should be done as per the wedding theme. You can use seasonal flowers or silk flowers or peacock feathers. Let your imagination take wings. Use mason jars to make the flowers floaters, pillar candles look stunning on a dark table cloth, use colorful ceramic vases, and picture frames. A beach wedding can have a large mother of pearl or a sea shell. It will look stunning. Even using small wood or terracotta sculptures is great idea. The options are endless.

You can save a lot of money on food by asking your family members and friends to make their favorite dishes and bring them over.  All the scrumptious dishes served in a buffet will be a big hit as most of the caterers make only two main dishes.

Stunning napkins and tablecloths can be made at home from old wedding gowns. Make your own creative wedding favors to woo the guests.

Music is an essential part of the wedding and you can collect some CD’s depending on what kind of wedding you are having and ask someone from friends or relatives to play them. A good music and sound system is all what it will take to fill the air with your favorite melodies.

For outdoor weddings make innovative use of everything that nature provides including flowers and fruits.

DIY decorations are easy and do not require much time if planned in advance and done properly.
