Weddings are a joyous event but can become expensive very easily. With wedding crafts you can hold the cost down too.
Here are a few suggestions for wedding crafts to add sparkle and creativity to your big day.
It is not that hard to make your own wedding veil. To make this wedding craft, you will require a length of bridal illusion in the desired length. You will also require a comb to attach it to your hair and a hat or headpiece to cover the comb. Sew large running stitches about an inch from the end of the illusion and gather it tightly. Now sew the veil to the comb. Top with a headpiece or hat. Alternatively, you can decorate a wide-brimmed straw hat with silk flowers, pearls or ribbons.
The floral arrangements and bouquets can also be personally crafted. For a simple wedding that will take place outdoors, why not opt for wild flowers. They have a charm all their own. Flowers can be arranged in large vases, with a bow elegantly tied around it.
Favors for the guests are a particularly appropriate wedding craft. They really do say ‘I care’ that you are at my wedding. Refrigerator magnets are a simple and well-received favor. An especially nice idea is to make a magnetic picture frame and add a photo of the happy couple. Decorate the front of the frame with foil heart stickers and a monogram of the couple’s last name. Choose colors that complement the colors you have chosen as your wedding theme.
Bows for the ends of the pews or rows are also relatively easy to make. Wide velvet ribbons are a good choice for fall and winter weddings, whilst satin is best suited for spring and summer weddings. Loop some flat lace in with the ribbons. In the center of the completed bow, attach some silk flowers and pearl sprays with a hot glue gun.
Perhaps you’d like to try your hand at decorating your own wedding cake. Check the craft section of the department store for pans and gadgets of all types to help you create a cake to remember. Don’t forget, that it demands a very steady hand. Be sure to practice before starting on the actual cake.
Preparing for a wedding can be very expensive, but with wedding crafts, you can take some of the sting out. Plan early, however, because it will take a little while to make favors for everyone and all the other little details you will want to take care of.
Another way to reduce costs is to ask a friend or family member to act as the master of ceremonies at the wedding reception rather than booking a professional which is very expensive.
