Product Description

Review
"DIY Bride is a classy, sassy, oh-so-fun crafty approach to livening up your big wedding day. Khris Cochran serves up a delectable tray of clever ideas that are frosted with style and originality and proves that having a luxurious, signature wedding doesn't mean you have to empty your bank account. Just your glue gun!" Kathy Cano-Murillo, CraftyChica.com

Khris Cochran's The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects for Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding provides inspiration and projects for save-the-date cards, invitations, jewelry and accessories, ceremony decorations, programs, favors and more. Cochran, who founded the website DIYBride.com, also provides a cost comparison to show how much a similar item would cost if purchased in a store, allowing busy couples to decide whether it would be better to buy or make certain projects. A hair ornament for a flower girl, for example, costs about $5 to make but would cost about $40 to buy. The DIY Bride provides clear instructions and suggests whether a project could be completed by the couple themselves, with the help of the wedding party or with members of the family, offering clever ideas and the potential for fun invitation-building parties with friends. "--Bookpage

This book is for the bride who loves arts and crafts. It tosses out cookie-cutter wedding standards and gives creative instruction for makinginvitations, accessories, favors, programs and decor that will leave a personal stamp on your wedding. "--The Birmingham News" (AL)
The moment after a woman says yes to the BIG question, she is deluged by even more questions -- and all of them have to do with the wedding. Khris Cochran, founder of www.DIYbride.com and author of "The DIY Bride," has plenty of answers to brides' questions, especially brides who want a wedding that isn't like everyone else's, and one that doesn't cost a fortune. "The DIY Bride" is replete with cost comparison information; for example, custom-printed wedding invitations may cost as much as $2.50 each. Do-it-yourself invitations can cost as little as 35 cents. Directions for projects are detailed and well-illustrated. Tips and hints are sprinkled liberally throughout the book. An index and resource guide add to the user-friendliness of the book. "--Bangor Daily News "(Maine)

2.0 out of 5 stars arts and crafts, 4 Dec 2008
By Leo "Gran" (Lancs UK) - See all my reviews
For those of you, like me, who are tempted to buy this title-beware- this is not an aid to organising the occasion, but an arts and crafts book for making your own accessories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crafty!, 6 Feb 2009
By S. Brecknell (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really like this book, its got loads of ideas to help save money and make your wedding a bit more individual. It covers everything from tiara's to table centres and each item has a couple of pages with full colour illustrations and step by step instructions which are easy to follow. I really like the DIY poketfold invites and will certainly be having a go! The only drawback is that it's american so one or two of the ideas are maybe a bit OTT for a british bride - the aisle runner for example - and its costings are in dollars so you have to disregard them!

If you are creative and feeling thrifty this is for you.
