A DIY wedding can also encourage you to get creative, especially in the areas where you’ve decided to save and not spend, a great example of this is through your decorations!

They may also be more affordable if you plan to host the party in your backyard and set up all of the seating arrangements on your deck. All you have to do is hire a professional power washing or cleaning service to thoroughly clean your deck. That way, you’d only have to spend money on the decor and not on the venue.

Or you could hit the charity shops to buy some vintage frames. Not only do they look lovely, but you can also enjoy reminiscing over some wonderful memories throughout the day too.

3. Table decorations

One way you could do this is through DIYing dome small cushions. Armed with a sewing machine maybe even a fabric cutter and some nice material, you should hopefully be able to DIY some comfy but cute cushions that match your wedding theme and improve the overall feel of your chairs.
