DIY wedding projects can be a fun and exciting way to personalize your wedding, especially if you are one of those crafty sort of people. But keep in mind that deciding to do your own flowers is a tremendous undertaking. Unless you are really experienced with floral arrangements and an excellent time manager, you don't want to do all of your flowers. Instead, enhance what your florist creates with tiny little projects that will show off your own personality and talents, without it leading to you surrounded by peonies and questioning all of your life choices.
