Are you a DIY bride or does the idea of handmade projects overwhelm and scare you? We believe that DIY can be a great opportunity to personalize your wedding without sacrificing your overall aesthetic. More than anything, DIY wedding ideas should be easy to manage, fun to produce, and not cause you or your bridal party (who have to inevitably help!) stress. One philosophy that we really live by here at United with Love is that DIY wedding projects should not necessarily take the place of a professional vendor. We believe that personal projects are a great way to create a special moment at the wedding or leading up to the festivities but aren’t the end all be all. Leave the heavy lifting to your pros! Because we want to help out, we have rounded up a few really cool projects. From bridal party gifts to family photo displays, we have projects that any DIY couple can easily do, and do WELL!
