More and more of us are plundering Pinterest, YouTube and the web for ideas and tutorials to DIY our weddings. Some of us are getting resourceful within tight budgets, others simply like the creative control or want their big day to be truly personal.
Whatever the motivation, here are six simple wedding DIYs to try:
1. Bouquets and buttonholes

Buttons:

2. Wedding Favours

Thrift and upcycle
Something completely different!
