You probably think it's impossible to make the time to create something special—even if it's for your wedding day. It's easy to say you don't have the time—or the patience—to a simple bouquet or hairpiece because there aren't enough hours in a day let alone enough hours to plan a wedding.

Weddings are one of life's oldest rituals, and the energy that goes into preparing for such a momentous occasion should reflect the personality and uniqueness of those involved. A long time ago, brides and their families and friends pitched in together to create wedding decor and props solely by hand.

The projects in this book are for those who don't necessarily create things by hand very often: They're for you, the beginner. They're for keeping costs low and beauty high, and they're for adding elegance to what will already be a day to remember for a lifetime.

Whether it's florals, keepsakes, or mementos you seek to create—have no fear, there's something for everyone. The rest is up to you.
