DIY wedding decorations etc?

[NickisMinge]

Does anyone know any websites or blogs of ideas for DIY wedding stuff? You know like pretty place settings, centrepieces or any other ideas?
Thanks!

Pinterest. You have to request an invite or something like that, but there are lots of nice ideas.

I know it's a bit off topic, but we decorated our M&S wedding cakes with chains of paper roses (matching my bouquet) which were as cheap as chips off ebay - for £20 we got enough to do three tiers and still gave dozens of them to my craft-y sisters. We must have had 500 of the things, they were 10 for a pound in the high street craft places.

We folded paper cranes and used them as place settings and made big three paper crane chandeliers. We choose to use three main colours to match the other bits and bobs and then mixed and matched them with plain white ones. Was very cheap, looked fab but took quite a lot of time.

Tissue paper pom pom flowers look really great - you can use them as table decorations, hang them from the ceiling etc. They're something a bit different and everyone seems to love - can even give them to guests to take home!

Pinterest is great for ideas and somewhere to store them all.

Try the wedding section on www.etsy.com the whole website is vintage, handmade and supplies so lots of ideas for things you can make yourself,.and lots if people to make them for you if you can't be faffed.

If you do your own flowers too florists use a gell in the water to make them sit up straight.

Rockmywedding was quite good. We did vistaprint invites, as cheaper than I could have made myself. For decorations it was Just flowers. We did the flowers ourselves but kept it as simple as possible.
