Wedding Crafts tips. Save Money Add Personal Touch

By: JD Strato



Though your special day is meant to be a happy and memorable event, it can also cause financial tension quite easily. Creating your own personal touch wedding favours can save you a ton of money, and give you a wonderful sense of accomplishment. In this article we will introduce a few simple ideas to get you started.

A simple starter could be to design and fabricate your own wedding veil. Start with a piece of bridal illusion cut to the proper size. You'll need a headpiece or hat, to hide the comb you will use to hold it to your hair. Large stitches about an inch from the end of the illusion will give it the strength to pull it tightly together. Sew it together with the veil and comb and cover it with the headpiece or hat. Another option is to decorate a simple summer straw hat with ribbons and beads along with some flowers.

The bouquets and floral arrangements can also be designed by you. For a basic outside wedding, think about wild flowers. They're a gratuitous Natural arrangement and have a charm all their own. Place flowers in large clear vases, with a bow bound elegantly around them.

Party gifts and goody bags are uniquely suited Homemade Wedding Favors. Fridge stickers and magnets are and easy and well-received favor, especially with the kids. Another good plan is to create a magnetic picture frame and combine a painting of the wedding pair. You need to slice a border out of 1-2" foam and paint it in one of the wedding colors, set it over the photograph, and paste all onto a sturdy backing. Lay self-adhesive magnet tape on the backside of the backing. Grace the front of the frame with foil or shiny paper and add heart stickers and a monogram of the couple's family name.

Bows for the ends of the church bench or rows make effective basic wedding crafts. Wide velvety ribbons are wonderful for autumn and wintertime weddings, although satin is more suited for spring and summertime wedding ceremonies. Kringle some flat lace in with the ribbons. In the center of the finished bow, affix some silk flowers and pearl sprays with a hot glue gun.

If you have any culinary talents you may want to give decorating your own cake a try. There are plenty of unique cake decorating accessories and unique cake pans available inexpensively at your local department store to get you started. Cake decorating does take a little bit of skill, so you may want to try a few practice cakes to start with.

Save yourself some money and look at the various ways you can do something different and save some money for your honeymoon at the same time! Be prepared for the time it might take to finish whatever wedding craft project you decide to undertake. You don't want to be rushing trying to finish 150 wedding goody bags the night before your big day. In any case, designing and creating your own wedding favors can add a unique personal touch to your wedding event.
