Kat Denningstried out her DIY skills ahead of her wedding day.

TheTwo Broke Girlsstar, 37, revealed on Instagram that she handmade her floral wedding arch for her nuptials to singer Andrew W.K., and she shared the progression of her work while hinting at the difficulty of putting it all together in time.

Dennings opened herInstagram postwith a selfie featuring her holding up a peace sign while wearing blue latex gloves as she posed next to the base of what would become her flower arch. She followed it up with a secondary photo of her progress which featured various green leaves interwoven with the base. Additional branches could be seen in a white bucket near the arch.

In a third photo, she once again threw up the peace sign next to her work in progress, but this time, the actress was much closer to creating the finished product. The arch looked fuller with green leaves and some white roses, and various vines could be seen in a bucket next to her.

Dennings devoted the final photo to showing off the completed arch overflowing with vines, leaves and white roses. It was placed at the end of the aisle in front of two white doors with a long faded carpet leading up to it.
