One of our staffers in getting married in December and she keeps raving about an online site called Save on Crafts.  I recently checked out the site to see what it was all about and I was impressed with their seemingly endless supply of DIY wedding items that will spruce up any wedding decor.  With great pricing and stellar customer service, this seems like a site for any DIY Diva to check out.

When I first stepped in to the ballroom where my wedding was to be held, I can’t say I was blown away by its perfection.  The panoramic view and huge balcony were definite positives, but the gaudy carpet and huge, plain walls did nothing for me.  With dreams of  a very modern, sleek wedding in my head, I couldn’t see how this ornate, traditional ballroom was going to become the contemporary wedding I had envisioned.

After months of waiting, I stepped in to my wedding reception and was even more stunned than I had planned to be.  Coupled with glamorous lighting, amazing centerpieces, bars, lounge areas and more, you’d never know this was the very same ballroom I had seen in the past.  It was proof that with the right decor you can do anything, on any budget, including completely mask the hideous, ornate carpeting that had blinded me months before.

There are endless ways to be creative with your decor.  Here, I present you with some of my favorites:
