I am excited to start my new blog. This blog will mostly be DIYs and cool ideas for weddings, baby showers, or even for simple house decors.
Since I am planning for my wedding, I thought it would be nice to share some of the items that I have made and also that one of my bridesmaid had made for me.
My wedding is a mixture of vintage and rustic along with a touch of modern romance.
For a rustic wedding, I thought these simple letters are great to have for any table top decors. Any wooden cutouts of letters or marquee lights will go along great with this theme.
I have been collecting a lot of items for the wedding and sometimes I am not sure how they will all blend together. Another tip is to setup a sample table. It doesn't have to be exactly how you want it to be setup at the wedding because there is always going to be last minute changes. This is a table that I put together, but some of the items here will not be displayed together at the wedding, especially the table numbers.
The lantern on the left side is made by one of my bridesmaids and she did a fabulous job. She made all the butterflies look so pretty and if you take a closer look, it has a lot of details. This is one of those DIYs that takes a lot of patience and time.
For the frames, you can buy any frame and make them look distressed by using paint chalk and apply black wax over it with a cloth. I also added laced flowers on the top right corner to make more chic. These frames will be used for my engagement photos.
When I got these crates, they were very plain. For one of them, I spray painted it gold and the other one I used chalk paint because I like the dull effect. Initially I painted it coral, but my fiance didn't like it so I painted light gray. He was right... it was too bright.
The two bouquet I bought from Michael's to add to the display and also will be used for the flower girls to hold.
For the table numbers, I know I want it to be chalkboard material, but the ones at Michael's didn't look unique at all. I had to add a gold vintage frame and burlap with lace to spice it up.
I painted the frames with antique gold
Here is the back with lace and some vintage inspired flowers
All in all, I am in love with every piece. Hopefully you feel inspired to go out and create something you can call your own.
More ideas to come.
Be creative and most importantly, have fun doing it.
