Image by Jen Carreiro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Forget about grazing tables because donut dessert displays are the next big thing in the world of wedding catering! Create a feast that your guests will drool over (hopefully not literally) with a forest of donuts displayed on candle holders. Start by creating the stands &#8211; if you don\u2019t own the necessary tools <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2KQEbQw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hire someone with the skills to drill<\/a> &#8211; then paint in whatever colour(s) you see fit. Lastly, just add donuts. <a href=\"https:\/\/somethingturquoise.com\/2017\/02\/10\/diy-wedding-donut-dessert-table\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More details available via this DIY by Something Turquoise.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Balloon Heart<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8686\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8686\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8686 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/24064334\/DIY-Giant-Balloon-Heart.jpg\" alt=\"Balloon heart | Airtasker wedding DIY ideas\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Love balloons?

Like the idea of a balloon garland but can\u2019t quite be bothered with the labour-intensive preparation? A <a href=\"https:\/\/studiodiy.com\/2013\/02\/12\/diy-giant-balloon-heart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floating balloon backdrop<\/a>\u00a0is a chic alternative for your ceremony or photobooth. Purchase a helium tank from Kmart or Spotlight, invest in some good quality latex or foil balloons (tip: foil balloons stay afloat for longer), then plan out a heart shaped arrangement. Use different lengths of fishing line anchored to small weights to keep the balloons in the right spot.<\/p>\n<h2>Streamer Backdrop<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8687\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8687 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/24064333\/596.jpg\" alt=\"Rainbow backdrop | Airtasker wedding DIY ideas\" width=\"570\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red and yellow and pink and green&#8230; Sing a rainbow with a colourful streamer backdrop.
