Create or Buy Local

View quoted message Le belvedere in Wakefield Quebec. They also have a chef at the venue cooks using locally food. It's great.

View quoted message I'm having a winter wedding and I love the look of snow before everyone steps all over it. I want lots of glitter like that. Sparkly hopefully elegant not tacky....if I can put down the bedazzler 🤣

View quoted message Here it’s def is an abundance of it. What is your wedding theme ?

View quoted message I like the rustic lol but I was looking for something and all I saw was the rustic that is what was driving me crazy

And everyone has their own preference. Your wedding is YOURS to decide and make it perfect your way!

That is lucky! Most venues do not have that option. What venue are you getting married at?

View quoted message

Yes that is so true! Honestly you don't realize how crafty you are and the items that you will come across to make. Some will take more time than others but they are so worth it.

I will have to check it out. I love getting ideas from everywhere

Yes!! I love recycling and reusing decor. I also custom design and build decor and wedding guest books, welcome signs, wood/ log projects. This has helped me really have an eye for recycling and repurposing items for clients as well as myself for my wedding. There is something about handmade that stands out over store bought/ mass produced.

I would add buying from your local wedding facebook group's buy and sell as a super affordable option too (not to mention environmentally friendly!). I scored some amazing decor from my local group, and it was a great resource for selling everything afterwards!

Ive been buying a lot of my decor on aliexpress.com

Love this idea!
We’ve got 2 years until our wedding so we’ve got tons of time to DIY! And if I don’t end up wanting to use it when the big day comes selling it is an easy option! Thanks for the idea!!

View quoted message And that is totally fine it’s your wedding! But even just homemade elegant is beautiful too and still cheaper ! I started making things a year in advance and I can honestly say the stress it takes off is huge!

I agree going local is so good all the way around. I'm not big on making things, I leave that to the crafty people.

I'm lucky my venue comes with decor along with signs. I don't mind at all the venue itself is perfect and so beautiful inside and outside grounds.

I am also avoiding all rustic/wood type decor. I laugh with my mom if I see one more Mason jar I'm going to lose my mind. That being said I have found a lot of decor second hand like my candy jars, centerpiece vases and ice cube name card holders. I'm so excited to make up my flower balls, bouquets, corsages and boutineers. Not to mention my table numbers and a few other projects.

I'm big on making things when I can. And buying second hand to be a little greener and budget friendly.
My mom and I will be making decor. Flower hoops, simple centerpieces, some garlands. I also like that I can make things in advance so I'm not rushing in the days before the wedding to get everything together.
I'm one of the few who is avoiding all things rustic. It's just not my thing!
