While calligraphy does take a ton of practice, if you start early enough, you might be able to DIY your envelopes or wedding signage. Check out Laura Hooper's online calligraphy class or Melissa Esplin's modern calligraphy class to get started. Make sure you're prepared by purchasing the necessary materials listed on both sites.
2. Floral arranging. If you've got a way with flowers, you might be considering making your bouquet or centerpieces. Check out these classes from Nicole's Classes and Brit and Co. If you're planning to create your own big day blooms, we highly recommend testing arrangements using your desired flowers during the course.
3. Stamp making. Don't want to handwrite all those return addresses? Learn how to make your own custom rubber stamp in this online class from Skillshare.
4. Letterpress layout. Are you an artist who is thinking about designing a hand-lettered invitation? We love this Skillshare class that helps you prepare a layout for your invite. Even if you're not in the market to DIY your invitation, watching this video will help give you a better understanding of the process for creating your suite.
5. Watercolor. Watercolor is so in right now. To learn how to make your own wedding signage or decor with watercolor elements, we suggest taking this watercolor painting class or this brush calligraphy class via Brit and Co.
