Hi, lovelies! Emma here. There are LOTS of details worth DIYing for your wedding, while other projects are best left to pros. It all depends on your level of confidence, what you want to tackle, and how much time you allow yourself to complete the task. As an example, one project I would definitely leave to an expert is paper flowers — especially when they’re going to be used as a backdrop. This is likely because I’m quite impatient, I critique each cut and fold, and ask my husband 1000x, “Does this look right?” Ha. That’s why I was excited to find these paper flower backdrops from A Paper Event, where Jamie is whipping up some incredible designs. (And if you DO want to try your hand at DIY, you can order a template, where Jamie shows you how it’s done.) Each backdrop is custom-made for your event and is color-coordinated to match your wedding palette (or go with classic white!) Instead of spending hours cutting and folding and trying to replicate what she’s clearly mastered in her studio, let her take care of it — and enjoy a box full of beautiful paper flowers right at your door, ready to be transformed into your ceremony backdrop or photo backdrop, or as wall decor behind your head table, sweetheart table, cake table, or anywhere you see fit. You might even want to reuse them after the big day in your home — I know I would! Take a look at some of her latest creations…

And, honestly, I couldn’t help but share this gorgeous bouquet of paper flowers from her shop. I want these just because!
