9/8/2023 0 Comments Beach themed wedding decorI get many questions as to where I found the drift wood. I mainly wanted to stick with very natural, mermaid-inspired, but quaint and romantic beach theme. To be clear, my theme had no set color scheme, but although I did mainly stick with lilac (as you’ll notice in the table cloths and in the flower arrangements). So if you’re questioning wanting to DIY your wedding centerpieces and decor, here is your inspiration AND the proof that it can be done. DIY Beach Wedding Centerpieces and Decor And for under 15, we made it happen, with a little DIY magic thrown in. And I’m really excited to share my personal experience with going DIY for my wedding, and sharing some impact or ideas for others on how they can do the same! I knew I wanted a beach wedding – that’s for sure. Because you know when you’re young, all money thoughts aside, and you have this vision in your head (maybe one that’s been growing and growing for years), and when the time comes to actually make it happen and you realize: great, what I want is going to be 40 grand over budget…Īnd that was way out of our means. And I was really worried I was going to have to sacrifice – A LOT. My husband and I went to plenty of weddings together throughout our time dating – the INSANE budget those friends had (although, yes, their weddings were gorgeous), but we knew it just wasn’t in the financial plan for us. And for a fraction of the cost compared to having a company deliver me something (in hopes it looks how I want it to), and expect it back after the wedding is over (stain/damage free). And everything you see – I still have today, all incorporated throughout my home decor. I mean, really, I got everything I wanted – without doing any extra work than a normal wedding! The tablecloths, the runners, the flowers, all of the decor – everything was DIY. But I’m feeling slightly boastful as I look back on pictures of that day – how did I even manage to get it all together for a destination wedding down in the keys AND design every single table centerpiece? Aside from the fact my husband and I stuffed the trunk of our car with handmade wedding decor and making the 7 hour road trip down there days before the big day, it was the greatest decision to go heavier on a DIY wedding in the long run. 10 months later, I can’t even believe how fast the year of planning came and the big day began and flew by within a blink of my eye. I got married this past Spring, in March.
