Homemade Top Tips

• eBay sell some beautiful silk flowers for incredible prices
• Accessories like clutch bags and garters are super easy to sew, even if you have no experience! (post to follow!)
• Some beautiful dresses are often donated to charity shops, try the Oxfam Bridal shop if your local doesn't have any
• If you're happy to have a simple design, why not make your own dress? (post to follow!)
• Some cheap vases filled with water beads can make for some beautiful centre pieces. Or why not sand and coloured water for a more beachy theme?
• Research, research, research! Make Pinterest boards, use Hitched, or even start your own blog to save your ideal themes all in one place
• Beautiful stationery can be super easy to make! Hobbycraft have a great selection (or if you're super crafty - I wish!) invest in some watercolours and card stock. Just remember, there's no rule saying every save the date/invitation/place card has to be identical
• Ask to raid your mother/grandmother's wardrobe - vintage never goes out of style
• Check eBay for pre-owned dresses, though I'd avoid the too-good-to-be-true brand new listings! 
• Who says you need to make everything yourself to have a homemade wedding? Check etsy for some gorgeous handmade jewellery. You're bound to find a gem or two
