Create your perfect wedding from scratch!

At Weddings From Scratch we know how difficult it is being able to afford your own wedding. You may be prudent and keep a careful eye on the budget, but bills from suppliers can stack up. We therefore encourage you to do as much as possible yourself.

By doing some or most of your wedding from scratch you can save money, and have fun in the process and even learn a new skill!

Below you will find step by step guides that will help you create everything from your own flowers, making your invitations, doing your own make-up, creating your own table settings and much more.

Of course we want to hear from you too. If you've done something
'from scratch' for your own wedding tell us about it by emailing info@weddingsfromscratch.com.
