To DIY or not to DIY: Finding your niche in the creative scale
For many of you, you might look on Offbeat Bride and find a LOT of different choices in the DIY department. How to make a certain bouquet out of brooches or ornaments, maybe you want to DIY your Save the Dates somehow or even all of your invitations. For some of you, that might seem too much. For the rest of you, it’s right up your alley. And then there’s a small portion of us who are a little scrapbook/sewing savvy, but aren’t too sure of ourselves with these bigger projects. If you’re not sure what your niche is creatively, here are a few tips you may want to consider.
Flora & Kristy’s full moon fairytale wedding by the sea
Nods to Paganism, Celtic readings, and flower fairies make this waterfront wedding truly magical. And at the reception, there was even a father/daughter/father/daughter dance! And prepare your eyes from the awesomely scandalous garter photo!
Charlotte & Jason’s organic farm Sufi wedding
Jason and Charlotte met at school and fell in love over juggling, Sufi singing, and night walks. I love these people already. With lots of crafty touches (including a nettle felted portrait!), tea favors, and a milk and honey ceremony, this wedding has soothing and peaceful written all over it.
A farm wedding handmade with love
Jennifer and Russ held a gorgeous almost-totally-DIYed wedding at Jennifer’s parent’s farm in Ocala, FL. After their outdoor ceremony under a giant tree, they had a reception with a bourbon bar, alcoholic cupcakes, and a s’mores pit!
