Whether you’re newly engaged, waiting on that ring, or just day dreaming about the day you say “I do,” it’s always fun to keep up with the latest trends in weddings. Take it from Founder and CEO of Lover.ly, Kellee Khalil, who says there’s no need for a wedding in the works to start planning.
The wedding space is seriously taking off, but the more we delve into what’s trendy the more we realize how many couples are choosing the DIY route. Some are literally doing the entire shindig themselves, while others are choosing to add some personal flare with a mixture of DIY and store bought items.
We want to send you to some awesome websites filled with all things DIY for your wedding day.
To make topics easy to navigate, we’re breaking them up into categories: flowers, table settings/centerpieces, favors, and guest book ideas. Some of them will link you to specific DIY posts, while others are ideas we think would be super easy to DIY, sans instruction.
