Eucalyptus Hoop Wreaths

Wooden hoops and faux foliage can be picked up at craft stores for seriously purse-friendly prices, making this a cheap as well as simple wedding DIY idea. Use green florists tape to attach sprigs of eucalyptus to the hoop, overlapping each sprig to conceal the tape. Keep it green or add faux rose heads or wax flowers that coordinate with your wedding colours. You can hang these above tables, as part of a dessert table display or on the back of chairs.

Chair End Flowers

An incredibly simple yet effective way of jazzing up some plain chairs is by adding a small sprig of greenery and a single stem of one of your wedding blooms to the top.  Arrange sprigs of greenery at varied lengths for a romantic wildflower feel and add lengths of ribbon that overlap the aisle.

Illuminated Backdrop

If you're marrying in a blank canvas wedding venue, we think an impressive backdrop is a must. We love the look of this brass arch adorned with soft fabrics, greenery and hanging lights.  This one is a little trickier than some of the others on our list and so we'd buy faux greenery and put the bulk of it together well ahead of the big day if we were you. All you'll need to do on w-day is scatter some lanterns and pillar candles at the base!

Hanging Ribbon Flowers

Super simple but with real wow-factor, we're in love with this hanging floral display. Use a firm stick, wire or rectangular arch and tie blooms to each end of a length of ribbon.  Hang the ribbons over your wire and adjust each so that they're at different heights. Don't forget to include foliage as well as flowers and hang the display anywhere you'd like to draw your guests' attention - the cake table would be our pick!

Greenery Garland Festoon Lights

Buy some LED festoon lights and add dried foliage stems to the lengths between bulbs with twine.  Don't worry too much about stems sticking out or keeping them all the same length - think perfectly imperfect for a rustic vibe!

Macramé Table Plan

If you've crafted something small like the pew end above and have got your macramé confidence, why not tackle something larger like this table plan?  Leave a large part of it as fringing and simply peg on your tables for a rustic yet impressive look that guests are unlikely to have seen elsewhere.

Painted Bottle Vases

Paint vases or jars in colours that complement your wedding theme and place single stems or small posies inside for cheap yet beautiful centrepieces.  Group two or three vases with varying stems in the centre of each table and dot some votives around them. If you love a bit of sparkle, try coating a bottle in PVA glue and rolling it in glitter!

Dried Flower Bouquet

Dried flowers have become a thing in the last year and we're here for it. Not only do they give us all the boho chic feels, they also last longer than fresh flowers - winner!  You can arrange these a few weeks ahead of your big day without worrying about them drooping or dying, making them the perfect stress-free choice for brides keen to craft their own bouquets.

Pie Pops

So we've all heard of cake pops, right? But what about pie pops? We love this quirky take on the pop!  Simply bake your favourite pies - we'd totally go with apple - in miniature and seal the end of a wooden stick between the sheets of pastry.  Leave to cool and harden around the sticks once out of the oven and there you have it! Add ribbons or personalised tags to finish the look.

Pallet Order of the Day Sign

Paint an old pallet white or keep it neutral for extra rustic vibes and paint or draw on your order of the day.  We think guests will love this touch that keeps them informed and all you need to do to make it pop is add a little foliage and some fairy lights.
