Hello, I'm Shannon, I'm new to UKBride and love it already!!! I don't know about all you other lovely brides out there but I'm working with a budget for my wedding and I'm making all my invites and place settings myself. Rather than getting them printed with an outside company that charge loads of money. I went on ebay and ordered blank invites and blank place cards so I can design and make them all myself :) my sister in law did this for her wedding and they looked great, in fact they looked better than the ones you send off for!!
I'm also going for a vintage type theme so if you have any ideas for me it would be a great help. I've got a few ideas myself, some being..... having large glass jars full of flowers for table center pieces with white lace wrapped around the rim of the jar to decorate, I'm also going to have lace wrapped around the napkins too.
So back to D.I.Y, i would strongly recommend it if you are on a budget like me and have a creative mind :)

Welcome to UKbride :D

There are lots of threads with all sorts of DIY ideas for you to look at and with vintage being all the rage im sure you will find lots to do!!

Love the centrepiece idea :)
Have fun xx

Im planning on DIYing my STD Invitation RSVP and a Keepsake Eden Project Rainforest Biome to keep all information safe No one can loose any separate information i send could be transport info accommodation info got ideas for table centre pieces but I think the Eden Project sorts out the interior decoration for me the table the chairs just need to tell them my vision is is possible to turn a picture of you and your H2B into a mosaic piece would that be Coolio to have hanging up somewhere sign posting your wedding?? what ya think trying to come up with more DIY things to do cannot wait to start =D <3 X

I also plan on doing a lot of DIY things too I think when you go see someone and tell them its for a wedding they just hike the price up because they know people are willing to pay stupid amounts of money for something really simple. I'm making my own invites place cards save the dates and even baking cookies for my favours. DIY shows you care more too and it'll be fin to make it all xxx

I'm d I y ing my bouquet, centre pieces and the wedding stationery....I keep changing my mind on what I'd like for the wedding stationary tho xx

yeh i love all the vintage stuff, i'm going to go for antique roses as well, they are really pretty and luckily i know a florist so hoping i can get a bit of a discount haha! i've just received lots of stuff off ebay for my invites, can't wait to start making them all and the bridesmaids are going to help me :) so exciting!!!!
