Weddings are a joyful occasion, but they can quickly become pricey. Wedding crafts allow you to add a personal touch while keeping the cost low. Here are a few wedding craft ideas to bring shine and originality to your special day.
It is not difficult to make your own bridal veil. You will need a length of bridal illusion in the desired length to produce this wedding craft. You’ll also need a comb to secure it to your hair, as well as a cap or headpiece to conceal the comb. Gather the illusion tightly with large running stitches about an inch from the end. Sew the veil on the comb now. Accessorize with a hat or headpiece. You can also embellish a wide-brimmed straw hat with silk flowers, ribbon, and pearls.
Bouquets and floral arrangements can also be customized. Consider wildflowers for a casual outdoor wedding. They are free and have their own unique appeal. Bouquets can be attractively placed in huge clear vases with a bow strung around them.
Wedding crafts for guests are very fitting. Refrigerator magnets are a simple and popular favor. Making a magnetic photo frame with a picture of the couple is a great idea. Cut a frame from craft foam in one of the wedding colors, lay it over the photo, and glue it all to a cardboard backing. On the reverse of the cardboard, apply self-adhesive magnet tape. Decorate the front of the frame with foil heart stickers and the couple’s last name monogram.
Simple wedding crafts include bows at the ends of pews or rows. Wide velvet ribbons are excellent for fall and winter weddings, whilst satin ribbons are more suited for spring and summer weddings. Combine some flat lace with the ribbons. Attach some silk flowers and pearl sprays to the middle of the finished bow with a hot glue gun.
Perhaps you’d like to try your hand at cake decorating. Check the department store’s craft section for pans and gadgets of all kinds to help you make a memorable cake. But keep in mind that it demands a steady hand. Before beginning on the real cake, make sure you practice.
Wedding planning can be costly, but with wedding crafts, you can alleviate some of the pain. However, plan ahead of time because it will take some time to produce favors for everyone and take care of all the other minor things. Perhaps doing wedding crafts will help to alleviate some of your wedding jitters. In any case, making your own wedding accessories is a great way to have a more personal, beautiful, and affordable wedding.
