I want to include some DIY decorations in the styling of my wedding - for example draping and table set up. How do I go about setting it all up? Is it best to hire a planner or coordinator?

Hi Julie, Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and well done for wanting to add your own personal touches. I agree with Amuse Event Lighting that overhead draping is best to coordinate with a professional. As a decorator and stylist we always use and recommend a company that specializes in draping. Having said that there are so many DIY ways you can add your own personal touches. The stationery that you place on your table for instance can really make your decor POP, tie your colours and theme together beautifully and is one of the most inexpensive ways to add that extra WOW Using the same DIY techniques the theme can then be carried through to your lolly buffet or perhaps a drink station. Drink stations have become very popular now for wedding ceremonies and out door receptions. I personally think that the hardest part is choosing your theme. Once you have decided on what that will be ideas will present themselves in abundance :) Pinteres is one of the best planning tools around, so much inspiration and of course Etsy too. I have different examples of theming in my photos on facebook. Feel free to have a browse. All the very best with your planning, hope you have an amazing journey :) Bronwyn
