Everyone wants to save a bit of money on their wedding and DIY projects are a great way to do just that. However, there are certain things that you should simply leave to the professionals.

Wedding DIY Don’ts

1. The importance of this cannot be overstated. In an effort to save money, far too many couples have entrusted a relative or friend to snap a few candid shots at their wedding, only to be let down by the experience. There’s a good chance you don’t realize how important high-quality photos are until your photographer has taken hundreds of them before selecting a small number of stunning images to work with. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, even if you’re confident that a friend or family member will do a great job, you’ll never be able to get the results that a professional can.
   
2. Your Wedding Cake: When it comes to baking your cake , it may be tempting to buy a few boxes of cake mix and make your own cake at home, but you should always leave it to the professionals if you want something you can be proud to serve to your family and friends. Additionally, this would be an additional burden to bear right before your big day, when you should be relaxing.
   
3. Your Hair and Makeup: A professional should be hired unless you have an extensive knowledge of makeup and hairstyles and could easily be mistaken for an expert. Wedding hairstylists and makeup artists know how to keep your hair and cosmetics in place all day, which is a must. You deserve to be treated like a princess on your wedding day.
   
4. Your Catering: Wedding catering is significantly more difficult and time demanding than you might expect, and enlisting the help of family and friends may still cause you more stress in the long run. Professional caterers know exactly what goes into preparing food for big groups of people, as well as how to store and transport the food in a manner that is both safe and efficient.
   
5. Your Music: While it may seem straightforward to simply load all of your music onto an iPod and play it through a hired speaker, there is something extremely beneficial about having a professional DJ or musician assist you with your day’s music selections, particularly for your first dance and father-daughter dance.

When deciding on your Wedding DIY projects, really think about everything that goes into successfully completing that specific task before you decide to take it on yourself.
