With growing popularity, vintage decor has become a must have for couples and tops the charts on their wish list. Most consider their options to be buying the items which can be a hefty investment. Others turn to the DIY projects in the hopes of saving money yet invest hours of work. Both are plausible yet consume a great deal of time and money which affects the budget and ultimately the look and feel of your wedding.
This is where the question comes up. ‘Should we rent or should we do it our selves’. Planning a wedding is exciting and can be so much fun however it can also be overwhelming and full of countless details. Truth is, the average wedding consumes a minimum of 150-200 hours just for the planning stages and thats only to organized the big items such as buying your dress and booking your venue, music, florals etc. This doesn’t include the countless hours for additional DIY projects leading up to the event or time for decor the day of. The real question to ask yourself is how much time you have and how valuable your time is to you and your partner.
{ Questions to ask yourself }
*Although the style of your wedding may be vintage, is this the style that you live with every day at home and want to continue decorating with? Furniture and accent pieces are a significant investment that add up fast; will they compliment your new home decor
*Thinking about buying items for styling your cake table, receiving table, refreshment station or head table? How many miles, how many hours and how many stops will it take at yard sales, antique markets, craft shops or retail stores to find the right pieces?
*What is your time worth? Finding items can be a challenge and thats only the first step. Refreshing them and storing them can be more of a challenge. General clean up, painting, and cosmetic fixes are all big jobs that takes up time and space.
*Everyone wants a stress free day. When you are buying items or working with DIY’s it means that you will need to arrange for the items to be packed up and dropped off to your venue(s). Hours of set up and tear down will be required along with general styling of your decor so you are photo ready. This all needs to be arranged in addition to you, your friends and family getting ready for the day
