Updated Mar 06, 2025DIY Wedding Decorations Anyone Can Do
Want to add a few touches of personalization to your wedding without losing sleep? Try these.
We get it: DIY is a great way to put some personal touches on your décor, but the last thing you want to do is stay up late in the days leading up to your wedding nursing hot-glue-gun burns. Instead, here are some projects you can totally own while keeping your cool.
Table Numbers

Thinking about what décor you'll want at your vineyard wedding? Start with wine corks. A cluster of three makes for a festive (and sturdy) table number display. They could even be used as escort cards or place settings.

Aisle Décor

Um, how cute is this? Especially for the couple who wants to save on flower costs, but doesn't want to miss an opportunity for pops of color. These heart-decorated sticks are a great alternative to aisle décor. A few pages of colorful craft paper, a large heart-shaped paper punch (or whatever shape suits your fancy) and wood craft sticks are all you'll need.

Twine Centerpieces
LoveInTheory
Vases are the perfect vessel to DIY. Sure, you can't go crazy on vases that are being borrowed from the florist, but making a few accent pieces is a perfect way to add a touch of personalization to the tabletops. For a natural or rustic accent, wrap twine around your centerpiece vases and secure with a few dots of hot glue. You could go for a metallic spray-paint job, sequins or washi tape.

Photo Booth

Photo booths are always popular with the crowd. It's a great way to get guests to break out of their shell, loosen up and have a couple laughs while documenting how good they look all dressed up. All you have to do is set up an iPad and camera timer and guests can email their photos to themselves in a flash (see what we did there?).

Dessert Table Backdrop

A unique paper backdrop is chic and can be reused in different areas, and it's especially handy for empty walls that need a little bit of love. Venues like museums or historic estates usually won't give the green light to peg up décor, so keep that in mind before diving into the project.

Stamped Favors

Investing in a few customized stamps can go a long way when it comes to personalizing different moments throughout your day. Ceremony programs, escort cards and favor bags are all opportunities to make your mark. These seed packets are perfect for any wedding theme that featured loads of flowers, and with a strip of washi tape they can be customized to your wedding colors.

Hangover Kits

Want to have one last little surprise for your wedding party? A hangover kit is the ultimate way to say "thanks for partying with us last night!" A Gatorade, power bar and packets of aspirin go a long way—especially when paired with a punny note: "In sickness and in health."
