Tip Three - Decoration

Loads of Freebies

Decoration - One of my favourite subjects.To start with a post from the blog Off Beat Bride featuring lots of free printables. Off Beat Bride has a good D.I.Y page so it´s worth hopping over there to see what else they have to offer. In the meantime get cosy and take a look at the following. Be careful as one site leads to another and then another and so on and so on.....

There are hidden freebies all over the web: downloadable templates, patterns, fonts, fingerprint trees, and more. I stumble across them all the time while browsing blogs. But now I'm attempting to compile a MEGA-SUPER-MONDO list of all kinds of free printables and downloadable templates for wedding DIY projects.
