The wedding market is big business and brides are looking to make their big day stand out over their peers. Gone are the days when the simple ceremony followed by the sit down meal were the biggest elements of the day. Now, couples are making a huge event out of their day, hiring stylists and wedding planners and re-creating what they see online, in magazines and from celebrities.
But, weddings are expensive and today’s DIY bride loves to source a quality product she can customise herself and make it into something wonderful guests will be talking about for years to come. This infographic takes the modern DIY wedding and couple through all of the options for using a natural product that is readily available – wood.
Here are some stunning styles of wedding centre-pieces you can create using all kinds of wood. From tree trunks to driftwood and logs to branches, simple yet striking centre pieces are easy to achieve with a little bit of knowledge and creativity.
One of the big overall trends in the wedding market has been the introduction of personalised signs. We show you a DIY tutorial on what you need to make two of the most popular – finger post signs and chalkboard signs.
