      Make in a Day - Natalie Wright

      To my husband, Dallan, who graciously helped with my own DIY wedding 22 years ago, and has been by my side helping with DIY projects ever since.

      A very special thanks to Darice® Craft Supplies with whom I have partnered for many crafty adventures over the years. They have graciously donated many of the supplies in this book so that I may showcase how easily you really can DIY your own wedding.

She quickly became the most popular wedding planner in our neighborhood, and my first job as a young teen was working long hours on the weekend beside her. I spent many late hours serving wedding guests and cleaning up after each event.

      Not only did my mother teach me how to prep for a big party or event, but she also taught me the importance of making things myself. As a young child, I loved seeing her confidence grow as the wedding guests complimented her aesthetics and creativity. Saving the wedding couple money was certainly a big hit too!
