It’s wedding season and you know what that means – lots of planning and not enough time! We rounded up some of our most favourite DIY marriage blog with a few snaps to capture their romantic ambiance.
Our Top Wedding Blogs & DiY Websites
Wedding planning can be difficult for an inexperienced couple to take on alone. Finding a cheaper venue, hiring bartenders and servers, and other vital details are easy to overlook without the help of an experienced professional.
The trouble is that sorting through the thousands of blogs and websites out there to find legitimate, sound advice can be challenging for a newly engaged couple. That is why I have created a list of the best five blogs and websites to follow when planning a wedding feast!
The Knot
The Knot is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to wedding planning. With endless planning tips, real-life wedding inspiration, a vast database of vendors, and much more, The Knot truly is a one-stop-shop for wedding planning.
Are you looking for a caterer or bartender for your event? The Knot has the Venues and Receptions section on their website that allows users to narrow down their search by price, specialty, and location. The database even includes customer reviews so that users know what to expect.
Once Wed
Once Wed is one of the best wedding blogs for ideas on recipes, used wedding gowns, hair + makeup and more. Her navigation on her website allows you to search by the type of wedding you’re trying to create, whether it’s rustic or vintage – you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Budget Wedding Websites
The Budget Savvy Bride
The Budget Savvy Bride is an excellent place for any couple working on DIY wedding projects. This blog offers free printable tools, wedding resources, planning tools, DIY projects, and even has an area on their website devoted to weddings by budget.
The Broke-Ass Bride
The Broke-Ass Bride is a blog devoted to wedding planning on a budget. What makes this blog a favourite is a fact that they promote the idea of brides taking the budget they have and using their creativity to make the most of it.
Small details went a long way. The best part about short information is they can be very inexpensive. So, our advice is to pay attention to the little things. Alone they may seem insignificant, but added up; they genuinely contribute to the whole atmosphere.
A Practical Wedding
The name pretty much says it all. If it is practicality that you seek, then look no further. A Practical Wedding is a blog that offers sound advice, DIY projects, a vendor guide, and several other juicy tips for wedding planning on the inexpensive side.
A practical wedding is a DIY wedding website where you can check out all of these fantastic ideas and Design on a dime. This website is a godsend for the thrifty shopper. You don’t have to be crafty to fashion these brilliant ideas. All you need are a few simple crafting tools and voila! Her DIY crafts section is probably one of the most creative and inspiring DIY endeavours we’ve seen yet!
DIY Weddings
Intimate Weddings
Intimate Weddings is an adorable website that allows you to choose from several DIY projects for weddings, from decor to food + drink. Her ideas are super affordable and very easy to make.

Food52
Navigate beyond kitchenware to find unique favours your guests are sure to enjoy post-wedding. Treat your nearest and dearest to one of Food52’s chocolate bars or mini cocktail kits.
A decade ago, we set out to bring cooks together from all over to exchange recipes and to support each other in the kitchen. We wanted to create a buzzing place for others who do what we do all day long: talk about food! Since we started Food52 (we cook 52 weeks a year, get it?), tens of millions of cooks and eaters have found their way to the site.
On Food52, you can find thousands of recipes submitted by our community and cooked by our editors in our very own test kitchens. Our methods and articles are James Beard Award-winning, our cookbooks are New York Times bestsellers, our Instagram is loved and followed by millions, and our community has grown to over 13 million people.
In 2013 we launched our shop to bring like-minded makers and artisans together with all of us. Today we curate the great things that allow you to cook and eat thoughtfully, and we’ve grown to include the home goods and crafts that support joyful living—and we’ve even started making some of these products with you! Great food isn’t just about ingredients, and it’s about everything that makes a meal—it’s the platter you serve tacos on; the composter in your kitchen; the knife you take on picnics. And joyful living goes beyond just the kitchen; it’s the beeswax candles on your table, the wreath on your doorway, the linen throw that accents your couch.
We envision Food52 as the one place you can see thousands of test kitchen-approved recipes, shop the kitchenware you need to make them, and discuss the results with like-minded people. That same destination can be the go-to when you need a birthday gift for a food-obsessed friend. The place to look for high table linens. The place to window-shop and daydream. We depend on—and we look forward to—your ideas, feedback, and support. So get ready for some inspiration and come hang out!

MoMA Design Store
Pick up quirky gifts like artsy scarves or portable space-age speakers at the MoMA Design Store for your entire wedding party.
In 1932, The Museum of Modern Art established the world’s first curatorial department devoted to architecture and Design. MoMA has long recognized Design’s important role in our culture alongside more traditional mediums like painting and sculpture.
First, we assess a potential new product against our design filters, a set of 8 criteria that we use to ensure every item is a good fit with our vision of good Design. Next, each proposed product is evaluated by MoMA’s curatorial department. Only those items that make it through these two steps successfully can become part of our assortment.
Olive and Cocoa
https://www.oliveandcocoa.com/
Send guests home with gourmet bulk gift boxes from Olive and Cocoa (think: heart windowpane cookies or a sampling of Rocky Road popcorn) for a super sweet surprise.
We are introducing Olive & Cocoa, purveyors of gifts gracious, thoughtful and beautiful. With wit and whimsy, we present to you a collection that includes a little something for every occasion, from the wedding of the season to the office, thank you, to the birthday of a dear friend.
“It’s all in the details. Style, art, beauty, meaning, and mostly imagination.” As Olive and Cocoa would say, “A gift is an extension of yourself.” From our eco-friendly handcrafted wooden crates and packaging to our market-selected edibles and expertly designed florals, our exquisitely presented gifts always make a grand entrance.
“Open your heart, explore meaning, and express feelings with surprises, wows and little thoughts of thanks and love.” A carefully selected gift from the Olive & Cocoa® collection ensures that your thoughtfulness will linger long after the last bloom has faded, the final treat has been savoured, and the previous candle has been wished upon.
