I envy those people that get excited at the thought of picking up a tool or thingy or thingamajig or whodat or whatdowehavehere in the attempt to recreate an item that they have seen on Pinterest but refuse to buy because they can do it better. KU-DOS!!! I am NOT-THE-ONE. THERE...I said it...whew, what a load off ! There is a time and place for everything and while I commend those that have the patience and energy for it...JunePlumm Events does not for a number of reasons:
1) I just don't want to
2) DIY isn't always the easiest route. If you are like me, no patience for the perfectionism that it takes to create or recreate that totally awesome Pinterest thingy that you MUST have. Then it will drive you insane if it doesn't come out EXACTLY as you have seen online. CAUTION...BEWARE...DO NOT PASS GO!
3) DIY isn't always the cheapest option. Items purchased in bulk are typically more affordable than those purchased one here and one there. So unless this is something the is being created or recreated on a consistent basis the cost per product will be more. Not to mention if you do not have a wholesale ID affording you the option to get these items at a cost savings then...$$$$$$$
4) DIY takes patience and time. Nobody move..no one talk to me... no one even think about breathing as I attempt to stripe this vase. Yeah... doesn't sound fun to me either. I just grew another grey hair remembering that time that I tried to... you know what, I wont go there. Let's move on
5) I just don't want to
6) See #'s 1 and 5
AGAIN: Let me be clear, I APPLAUD those that are DIY'ers but it is completely okay if you are not the one. So brides, understand that while planners may have a love for most things wedding, it does not mean that everyone of us want to recreate it ourselves. There are vendors out there that have built up the skill (and patience) to handle these items in bulk and for a fraction of the cost that it would cost your planner to do it themselves. So yeah... it's not a fun project for everyone.
DISCLAIMER: While I am not into DIY I will spray paint the heck out of anything. Oh yeah, and I'm mean with it too.
