WHY DIY DECORATIONS ARE GREAT FOR YOUR WEDDING

If songs uplift the soul during the wedding ceremony, photographs or videos tell the story and the bride’s wedding dress and her (of course) being the apple of the eye, your decorations makes it all complete.

While we all know that the union of two hearts is very special in making it all official through a wedding ceremony, the preparations, the tedious process may even cause stress to both the bride and groom. To consider a lot of things is necessary. What theme or look you’d want your venue to have and also the budget. So here comes the idea of DIY decorations. Now why are they recommended for your big day? What noise has it made so far in the world of wedding planning and design?

They’re personalized.There’s that personal touch that makes everything look naturally different. They’re natural because you’ve surely used materials that may easily be found in art stores or by just rummaging the basement… They’re different because your creativity will be taking over. Everything will be made with love.

They’re less expensive.There’s no need for you to hire people. You may ask friends and family to help out. The materials can be indigenous. They can even be bought from the thrift shop. You get to decide which ones to use and not so the budget is definitely in full control. Don’t ever worry about your venue looking cheap. Of course not! Your creativity does all the magic!

You’re free. You can exhaust your ideas of a spring type of wedding with all the flowers and those pin up decorations plus some fabric tied here and there and even some paintings all you want. There would be no limitations for you to put your ideas into works and even personally connect to all of your guests. It’ll make you feel free too and contented after seeing the marvels of what you’ve done.

Charm overload. DIY decorations sprung from creative minds. They capture the eyes and even the hearts of people. On your wedding day, it feels great how charming your artistic mind and hands can take you to cloud 9 apart from the celebration of love that you’ll be sharing with your significant other. Again, they are a head-turner – your amazing creativity. Its charm are captured in photos and videos and the outputs? Surely a darling!

DIY decorations aren’t a threat to big events as some others will say as long as you’ve planned out well what you want, what you need, how you want it to look like and how much time you’d have to spend on it. Art will not stress you out. It’ll create more than a memory on a moment you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

HOW TO STAY FIT UNTIL YOUR WEDDING DAY

To brides, it’s really stressful to worry about everything even when you’ve got a wedding planner. We’re pretty sure you’re one of those who would want to go right into the details of everything. But of course you’d want to look great on the big day and it’s not just all about you being able to wear that beautiful wedding dress. You have to look and feel fit as well! But how can you juggle with staying fit and take care of all the preparations?

The right diet is a key. Diet doesn’t mean having to skip meals. Definitely not. You have to eat healthy. Follow a certain diet which is far from fatty and cholesterol-rich food. Veggies and fruits and of course a little bit of this and that to keep you alive! The right diet means you’ll still make it through to walking down the aisle and look like the most beautiful bride of the season.

Avoid stress.While this sounds impossible and you may even roll your eyes right now, we’d say there’s a way for you to avoid it and it still lies upon you. If you plan to have a wedding planner, choose the best – the reputable one so you don’t have to worry about every detail and all those appointments but one – just with the planner. If you don’t, that’s perfectly fine. Call for help or designate the tasks. Scheduling is important. Planning with your significant other is best. If you both work together and support each other’s ideas well then, staying fit is just going to be like the usual.

Have some beauty rest.Beauty rest doesn’t have to mean you need to spend time at the beauty salon. Not necessarily. To stay fit you need some time to rest, relax your mind and get enough sleep. You can’t afford to look so worn out on your special day. It’s you and your soon-to-be better half’s most awaited moment so better make sure that you give yourself time to breathe amidst the schedule and the busy preparations.

There’s really not much to consider in staying fit. If you want to look and feel good in photos, videos and enjoy the big “I DO” day, you have to take good care of yourself. Remember to smile the pressure away and know that the hard work is in the name of love.
