These upcycled wedding essentials help to make your wedding day just as memorable without the big expenses. When it comes to planning a wedding, there are so many items to consider: the bride's wedding dress, the groom's suit, place settings, decor and the bouquet to name a few.
These wedding-day essentials help to speak about the couple's tastes and tell their story. Although the price of these items can add up quickly, it is possible to have them all without the huge price tag. Crafty brides will enjoy unusual DIY creations that transform household materials like biscuit trays, bread clips, bathroom tissue and bubble wrap into couture gowns. These upcycled creations are the perfect way to represent a couple creating a new life together.
