DIY Wedding Décor: What to Make Yourself (and What to Skip)
DIY Where It Makes Sense: Wedding Decor You Can Personalise Without the Stress
By Larosier Prints
There’s something incredibly special about adding handmade touches to your wedding day. Whether it’s a hand-tied ribbon around your welcome sign or a handwritten note on each place card, DIY elements can bring intimacy, warmth, and personality to your celebration.
But while the DIY route can be rewarding, it’s important to be realistic—especially as your wedding date gets closer and the to-do list gets longer. At Larosier Prints, we believe in blending thoughtful customisation with calm, clear planning. Here's how to embrace DIY where it truly makes sense.
1. Start Small and Meaningful
Begin with elements that feel both personal and manageable. Handwritten escort cards, for example, don’t require a huge amount of time but make a big impact. Add a short note or memory if your guest list is intimate. For larger weddings, simply writing each name with care on beautifully printed cards from our collections can be just as effective.
2. Welcome Bags with a Personal Touch
A great DIY project is your welcome bag or box for out-of-town guests. Fill it with local treats, a custom itinerary, and a heartfelt welcome note. These small details make guests feel appreciated without demanding excessive time or effort.
3. Create a Unique Seating Chart Display
Rather than building every sign from scratch, consider combining professional prints—like our Heather or Sapphire seating cards—with a DIY display method. Think rustic windowpanes, elegant linen backdrops, or vintage frames. You’ll get a creative, custom look without sacrificing polish.
4. Know When to Delegate
It’s tempting to want to do it all—but sometimes the best choice is to lean on the pros. Invitations, large signs, and essential stationery are best left to be professionally printed. That’s where Larosier Prints comes in. We take care of the heavy lifting, so your designs arrive stunning, stress-free, and ready to display.
5. Time It Right
If you love crafting, block off time well before your wedding to complete any DIY projects. Nothing steals the joy from handmade details like a last-minute glue-gun marathon. Focus on DIYs that bring you joy, not pressure.
Final Thoughts
DIY should enhance your wedding experience—not overwhelm it. By choosing the right projects and pairing them with expertly printed stationery from Larosier Prints, you get the best of both worlds: beautiful, personal details and a celebration that feels effortlessly you.
