The DIY Bride

A DIY wedding typically means the couple takes on the responsibility of certain wedding tasks. Instead of hiring a wedding vendor to do them. DIY has grown to become a social concept with people sharing ideas, designs, techniques, methods and finished projects with one another either online or in person.

As the day unfolded, it became clear that this wedding was a true reflection of the couple’s personalities.
