You’ve found your dream girl/guy, you’ve made the big announcement you’re taking the biggest step of your life you’re engaged to be married. Yay! Parties have to be planned starting with your engagement party and bridal shower.
Both of those events cost money, the pressure of getting married is starting to sink in. You’re actually doing this you’re getting married, you’re combining two families.
The moment you popped the question and the second you said yes has started a new chapter in both of your lives as well as your loved ones. Now the real excitement and often stressful part of planning a wedding begins.
Today the average couple can spend anywhere between $19,800 to $33,000 for a wedding, that’s a lot of money, with today’s economy the way it is it seems harder to have your dream wedding.
What if I told you, you can have beautiful wedding on a budget if you cut some of the prices of your floral arrangements and opted for tissue paper flowers as centrepieces in mason jars.
If you’re thinking to yourself this is not what I envisioned believe me I get it you’ve waited your whole life for the right guy/girl and this isn’t how you imagined your wedding day. The one day you’re allowed to be as vain as you want to be without judgment.
Don’t worry, planning a DIY wedding on a budget doesn’t have to look as if a bunch of kids in kindergarten threw it together. I promise. You can still have a breathtaking wedding. DIY doesn’t mean skipping on quality. Look at some of the pictures in this article and tell me those tissue flowers aren’t gorgeous.
The best part is you can go green. You can always reuse your tissue flowers to decorate around your home sure they won’t leave the aroma of real flowers but they will make you smile remembering your special day.
You can be as creative as you want to be with how you want to fill you mason jars ($7-$12) I see glass marbles at the bottom with the gorgeous flowers poking out. All you have to do is decide what colours you want your tissue paper flowers ($10 for a value pack at Walmart) to be. It’s best to go with you wedding theme colours.
You can even turn your DIY wedding project into a date night with you and your loved one or have it be something you and your girls do during your bridal shower.
It’s all up to how creative you get, the important thing is this is one option on how you can plan a beautiful wedding on a budget. The tissue paper flowers look amazing in the mason jars covered in tissue paper and the tissue paper flowers look amazing in vases.
