Atlanta DIY Wedding: Elegant, Airy & Whimsical Celebration on a Budget

Share

Meghan and David had a small budget and less than six months to plan their Atlanta wedding. With the gracious help from family and friends they were able to pull off their dream wedding. Meghan dove right in and created most of the wedding projects on her own. At times she was overwhelmed, but knew that the money she was saving and the rewards of DIY wedding projects would outweigh the stress.

From the bride on her DIY projects: To start, I drew an oak tree that would be on our programs and party favors. My desire was to create an environment that was elegant, yet airy and whimsical. The venue was at my dear friend’s home. The setting was perfect for the vision and theme of the wedding. I spent time studying inspiring wedding blogs and etsy, which expanded my vision. My wonderful Aunts and friends did all the flower arrangements, bouquets and centerpieces and made the delicious cakes.
