What are popular DIY wedding decoration ideas?

Many couples choose DIY decorations that look personal without being complicated. Bunting is a favourite because it adds colour and movement. You can make it from fabric, paper, or even old maps and book pages. Hang it across the ceiling, along the aisle, or behind the cake table.

Candle and jar centrepieces are everywhere for good reason. They are cheap, safe, and easy to adapt. Fill jars with fairy lights, flowers, or greenery. Use different heights for interest. Another popular idea is a photo display. String twine between two posts or along a wall, and clip on photos of you as a couple, your families, or your guests. It doubles as a conversation starter and a favour for guests to look at.

Table numbers are simple to make. Use wine bottles, wooden blocks, or folded cards. Write the number or a name, and add a small flower or ribbon. Signage is also popular. A welcome board, a seating chart, or a thank you sign can be made from a chalkboard or a piece of wood. Paint or write your message, then prop it on an easel or a stack of books.

Finally, consider handmade favours that double as décor, like seeded paper, mini succulents, or homemade jam in small jars. Guests can take them home, and they look lovely on the tables.
