Whether you’ve got a wedding designer planning every inch of your event or you’re doing it yourself, these DIY wedding décor trends personalize your day while adding a one-of-a-kind flair. From a details as small as name cards and napkin rings to elements as major as your ceremony backdrop and beverage bar, you can take your wedding décor into your own hands — literally — with these stylish DIY ideas. If you don’t consider yourself to be a crafty bride or groom, don’t worry, there’s something here for every skill level!
1. Agate Slices
One of our favorite accents in a modern wedding is the agate slice. On the easy side of things, you can use a gold paint pen to write your table numbers, guests’ names, and more. For intermediate crafters, use Gorilla Glue to attach slices to napkin rings. If you’re really loving the agate slice look and have mad DIY skills, build a ceremony backdrop by drilling small holes into the agate and stringing them together from a sturdy arch.

2. Dip Dye
Of these five trends, dip dying might be the easiest to achieve and the hardest to get wrong. The craft-averse can easily dip paper place cards into various dyes for an ethereal look or to folded coffee filters to create a dessert display backdrop. Casual crafters would enjoy adding dip dye accents to milk glass vases or fabric napkins. Brides with previous dip dying experience can create a wearable piece for their bridal (or even bridesmaids!) look, like the soft pink-dyed shawl below! Remember, the beauty of dip dye is in each piece looking different!

3. Wood Palettes
Is there anything that can’t be made from wooden palettes? Those who aren’t as comfortable with cutting wood can use an existing palette as a temporary wall by nailing art, bunting, and signage to it. Love hand lettering? Paint your wedding schedule or dinner menu on a wood palette and lean it against a nearby tree. Happen to be advanced in woodworking? Palette bars are an incredible statement that show off your skills. We can guarantee your guests will be wowed by this one!

4. Terrariums
Prefer plants to flowers? Add a natural element to your indoor wedding with this unique centerpiece idea! Terrariums can be as simple or involved as you want. Fill a glass globe, bell jar, geometric box with a variety of your favorite plants and foliage. Get creative by building small vignettes inside using books, plastic animal figurines, geodes, and more!

5. Mirrors
We will never tire of the elegant look a mirror adds to wedding design! A hand-lettered menu, seating chart, or welcome sign looks impossibly classy in a gold frame, while also providing utility on your wedding day. Not confident in your hand-lettering abilities? Sticker decals look just as nice with a fraction of the work!
