DIY Ideas Food Wedding

It's no secret weddings are expensive. Reuters reported that the cost of an average wedding hit $27,021 last year. But with the recent economic downturn leaving many young adults unemployed or underemployed, millennials wishing to tie the knot have been forced to get creative.

Thus, the rise of the DIY, wedding. DIY provides much more flexibility for couples wishing to cut the costs of their nuptial celebrations, allowing spouses-to-be to create their own decorations, entertainment, or even food.

The possibilities are endless: substitute an iPod playlist for a hired DJ, up-cycle thrift-store purchases into gorgeous decorative elements, or even buy flowers in bulk to arrange your own bouquets.
