10 DIY Furniture & Decor Projects You Can Make for Your Wedding (Then Use at Home Later)

Going the DIY route isn’t always worth the time, effort and cost of materials. But if you can get multiple uses out of your project – like, say, as a ceremony backdrop at your wedding, then as a hanging behind the bed in your apartment – it makes taking on that project just a little (ok, a lot) more worthwhile.

There’s a wealth of ideas for wedding DIY projects on Pinterest and across the web, but we gathered ten particularly beautiful and useful ones here.
