The date’s all set but you’re still on the planning stages. If this is the point in your wedding planning that you are currently on, then you may still have time to create wedding decoration crafts. Whether it is a task as simple as thinking about the centerpiece for the guest’s table, or quite a huge project such as decorating your wedding arbor – you should definitely accept the challenge and do it! Once you see the fruits of your labor, you will definitely be proud of the fact that you have created something from your own hands that contributed to the beauty of your wedding day – by making your own wedding decoration crafts.
Wedding Decoration Crafts that You Can Create Yourself
When planning a wedding, it’s the small details that count. As such, there are dozens of little tasks that you can take on yourself even if you have a wedding planner doing things for you.
Here is a bunch of wedding decoration crafts ideas that you can choose from:
Table centerpieces
If there’s one part of the wedding décor which is easy to assemble, that is none other than table centerpieces. There are an endless number of ideas to choose from as well. For example, get a clear, quite hollow bowl which you can fill with water. If you have a gold wedding theme, cut half a yard of golden organza ribbon and immerse it on the bowl of water.
Then, select one or two floating candles which you can place on top of the water-filled bowl – it should have a hint of gold on the color as well. That’s it – an interesting wedding decoration crafts which you can assemble yourself. Depending on the season of the year and the theme of your wedding, you can use flower petals instead of ribbons and top it with floral-shaped candles. For a summer wedding, you can use fruit-shaped floating candles instead. If you don’t want to use floating candles, the classic pot of flowers with the season’s blooms arranged artfully always makes for a great table centerpiece.
Wedding favors
Another type of wedding decoration crafts project that you can take on – and prepare well in advance – is the wedding favors. No matter what your budget for the wedding is, there’s always a way to prettify the wedding favors that you will distribute to your guests. You can buy something as simple as a tin container which you can fill with goodies like bath salts, candy or potpourri.
You can wrap the tin container in white tulle fabric, tie it with a ribbon that complements the color scheme of your wedding and voila! Instant wedding favors. Another idea is to fold colored tissue paper in half and use it to wrap a faux diamond paper weight, a tiny snow globe or other wedding favors that you can place inside. To decorate, tie it with a wired ribbon in the middle and add a few corsage leaves and a flower.
The wedding arbor
This is another wedding decoration crafts that you can take on, although if you are using fresh flowers, it might not be advisable to prepare way in advance. The wedding arbor will serve as the focal point of your garden wedding. To decorate this, you need to have a lot of floral wire or heavier wire if the greens and flowers are bulky. All you need to do is line up the arch with a base of greens first. Depending on the flowers that you want to use, you can alternate decorating the arch with flowers which are in bloom – and the inexpensive flowers like baby’s breath. These wedding decoration crafts are a piece of your wedding that you can create yourself – so go all out with the decorations for your big day!
