If you have any special skills, do-it-yourself (DIY) is the way to go for your wedding. Most people attempting DIY projects for their wedding will only try a few at home and leave other projects for the professionals. You can decide how DIY your wedding will be, based on how much time or money you have. DIY projects can save a lot of money and can add a personal touch. This article will give you many creative ideas and make suggestions on where to find direction and more inspiration.

I was married recently and used DIY skills to make a lot of items myself for the wedding. I saved a lot of money and was able to exhibit my crafting and creativity to wedding guests, who appreciated the small touches.

1) Flower Girl Baskets. For my wedding I made flower girl baskets out of gray shimmery yarn that went with my gray and black color scheme, and decorated the outside with ribbon. Other ideas are: buy baskets at the dollar store, spray paint them or leave them natural, and then use ribbons and bows. You also don't have to have a basket. Other options would be to use a box, a bucket, a bag, or even a purse. Other materials to try out are felt, tulle, faux flowers, beads, or fabrics like cotton, satin, silk, lace or organza.

2) Favors. While you don't have to have favors at your wedding, it's fun when you bring home favors from a wedding. For my wedding, I made crocheted dish clothes for all the adults attending. I put them in little boxes that I made. It was less expensive to make my own boxes out of decorative scrapbook paper. There are many free tutorials online to made little boxes, bags, or pouches. Then since our wedding had a literary theme, I made bookmarks with our names and wedding date from decorative paper, using our printer and a pretty font. Other DIY favors could be: bath salts, jam, or candy.

3) Jewelry. I made a necklace, earrings and charm bracelet for myself for the rehearsal dinner. And then for the day of the wedding I made my bridesmaids and mother earrings, necklaces and bracelets that went with my color scheme. You can make jewelry for your wedding party, or this may be an activity you all can participate in together. Some stores have jewelry that is partially made which can be easier for novices. You can find glass beads that look like real jewelry at craft stores, and brooches at thrift shops and estate sales. Brooches can be used for shoe buckles, a choker, as part of a necklace, as part of a bouquet, on a hat, or on a belt.

4) Guestbook. The guestbook is a great place for creativity and a place to show your theme and or color scheme. Our colors were gray and black and our theme was "Vintage Library". I covered a thick cardboard with gray cotton fabric, punched holes in it and put in metal rings to make a book. Then I decorated it with a large vintage ribbon with French script, black and white ribbon and a faux flower. There is a vintage looking sign that says "Guest Book" on it. Inside I have tea dyed library cards that look old and vintage that our guests took out of the book and signed.

Places that inspired me online were Pintrest, Etsy, Ravelry, and Google images. Places I found materials at were Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabric, Meijer and Knit Picks.
