It’s no secret that we love a DIY wedding and we have a sneaky suspicion you do too. Having shared a stack of creative weddings this year, we’re endlessly inspired by the crafty ideas dreamt up by our couples and have rounded up some favourites to get your inner artist stirring!

These adorable handmade felt pompoms made the cutest bouquet and matching boutonniere for Belinda & Ali’s colourful wedding. The bride admits she was a little ambitious with the vast array of DIY projects she took on, and held a champagne-fuelled crafternoon with friends to get the job done. Pics by Sayher Heffernan.

DIY succulent favors

Six months of dedicated drinking were invested into these succulent favours. Helen & Scott filled cut wine bottles with stones from the bride’s childhood beach and a little plant with a thank you message. Their Piha Beach wedding was captured by Bayly & Moore.

DIY favour goodie bags

Captured by Sarah Williams, Laura & Andy’s intimate Ethos Eat Drink wedding was full of personal touches and DIY details. These gorgeous goodie bags doubled as placefinders and were filled with handmade treats.

 

colourful DIY bunting

Yeah ok, so we do see a fair bit of bunting doing this gig, but there’s something so endearing about this particular bunting from Emma & Tom’s Lawn Bowls wedding. Perfectly mismatched in shape and pattern, and so many metres of it all lovingly pegged up. You know you love it too.

 

geometric wedding backdrop

A glittering of geometric gems makes a perfect backdrop for a modern wedding. Knowing just how long these little bad boys take makes us love them even more! Jayne & Cam’s Fitzroy wedding was captured by Oli Sansom.

A DIY wedding is made all the better when it’s a joint effort between the bride and groom. Dave and Nicole collaborated on a myriad of creative endeavours for their handmade Fremantle wedding, including a ‘wishing bike’ and bottled home-brew favours with their own label design.

Relaxed beach wedding Agnes Waters 01

Cassie & Al’s beach wedding was all about the people, with family and friends playing an essential role in their beautiful day. We can’t get enough of this archway, constructed by friends from driftwood and adorned in native flowers. So lovely! Pic by Marina Locke Photography.
