14 авг 2016Frugal bride who baked her own cake and made her own confetti reveals how she SAVED £10,000 on the cost of her wedding
A bride has managed to stop the happiest day of her life from turning into the most expensive by handcrafting every element from scratch.
Marrianne Mercer, 32, from Tonbridge, Kent, spent just over £9,000 on her big day, by making every possible item from the invitations to the cake to the flowers, saving at least £10,000 in the process.
She's now released a book for other brides-to-be who want to have a go at DIY-ing their own celebrations.
Marrianne, who works as a graphic designer for the book publisher Search Press, has always enjoyed crafts, but this was her most ambitious project to date.
She spent eight months before her big day in August 2013 crafting 678 paper flowers, 120 order of booklets and 400 pom poms for decorating the church.
'I kind of got carried away. But there was a great sense of achievement in seeing my vision come alive,' Marrianne told FEMAIL.
'I'm a designer so I usually get a vision of how I want things to look. When it all came together it was quite something. I just loved it.
'I really like baking but it was on a scale I hadn't done before,' she explained. 'It took four days to do it, and I didn't make enough batter at first so I had to do it in stages.
'I hired the tins and forgot to measure the oven and the biggest one only just fit.'
While David didn't get involved in the crafting, he helped with all the decorating the day before the wedding. And while Marrianne was busy making decorations he became something of a 'househusband'.
'He took over all the chores that I didn't have time to do,' she said.
