More times than not, we are have our eyes glued to the computer screen in search of new visions. Call it an addiction, call it an obsession, call it whatever you please. In a time when the wedding world seems as though it may burst if it expands anymore, it can be difficult to find ideas and images that are truly inspiring. We pride ourselves on presenting you with the best finds we have to offer, both passed down and original.
You’ve probably noticed by now, but just in case you haven’t, we have to tell you…DIY is IN. Why? Well, the benefits of DIY can be summed up in one word- customization. All too often, DIY Avenue is equated with frugalness. While crafting something yourself can help save money, this is not a guarantee. Customization, however, is entirely promised. That’s why DIY wedding ideas have found such a special place in our heart!
This week we’re offering up what we consider to be the best DIY wedding ideas of 2011
1. Pie in a Jar Treats: How freakin’ cute are these? Your guests might have to contemplate whether or not they are too adorable to eat…
