Today I’m talking DIY weddings…what they are, what it’s really like to DIY your wedding, and the top 4 myths associated with DIYing your wedding.

I was a DIY bride. I didn’t hire a wedding planner and I made almost every detail of our wedding: From save-the-dates, to menus, invitations, programs, our envelope box, cocktail hour table decor, place cards, tags for bubble wands for our church exit, and even favors. You name it, I made it.

I discuss the real reason why I was a DIY bride, the ONLY reason why I was a DIY bride, and the only reason why you should be, too.

If you plan on being a DIY bride or groom, there are 4 common myths commonly associated with DIY weddings and I totally bust them! In this show, I talk about:

• Wether or not DIY-ing your wedding saves you money
• Wether or not DIY-ing your wedding is easy and fast
• Wether or not DIY-ing your wedding makes your wedding personal and memorable
• Wether or not DIY-ing your wedding might make people think your wedding is "cheap" or tacky

I'd love to know what your thoughts are on DIY weddings AND I'd love to see your creations. Show and tell us over at:
