Easy Stick-On Bows

December 31, 2009 | Adorable Affordable Finds, Author: Leslie, Low Cost Ideas

There are a lot of brides who are into doing things themselves, especially when it comes to wedding details as this allows them to save a lot of money. But for those who are not-so-crafty, don’t despair as there is a solution!

Weddings surprisingly call for a lot of bows, and a site called Oriental Trading sells stick on bows for just $2.99 for 24 pieces! Feel free to stick these bows that come with an adhesive tape to your wedding favors or as part of your reception decoration! And for $2.99 for 24 pieces, it doesn’t sound too bad.

An Inexpensive Reception Table Runner

December 30, 2009 | 5K Weddings DIY, Author: Leslie, Receptions

If you’re in the lookout for ways to decorating your wedding reception venue without spending too much money, Martha Stewart Weddings has a great idea on just how you can do so.

The idea is to use wrapping paper as a table runner as you can see on the image to the left. Just make sure you use and choose wrapping paper that complements your wedding theme and for added effect, use the same wrapping paper for your DIY wedding favors. This will give your table a very polished look without costing too much.

Tips in Choosing your Wedding Colors

December 29, 2009 | Author: Leslie, Color, Where to Start

One of the first things you should decide on when planning your wedding is your wedding color scheme. If you are a bit undecided as to what color to use and if you’re also wondering if the colors you pick go well with each other, here are a few tips to get you going:

  • Choose colors that compliment your wedding venue and reception. Even if you really like a certain color, if it doesn’t go well with your wedding venue and reception, don’t use it.
  • Choose colors that compliment the season you are going to get married on. Spring and summer weddings usually have light color schemes and fall and winter weddings lean on darker colors.
  • You should also choose at least 2 main colors and others can be complimentary colors so that your wedding scheme doesn’t look confusing and unpleasant to the eyes.

The Flower Basket for the Flower Girl

December 22, 2009 | 5K Weddings DIY, Adorable Affordable Finds, Author: Leslie, Low Cost Ideas

As any bride would, I assume you have given plenty of thought on your wedding gown, your wedding shoes, and about every other detail about your wedding day. But have you given thought about the flower basket your flower girl will carry as she walks down the aisle with you?

The flower basket on the right sells for only$6 at Creative Bride Ideas. However, if you would like to save on the cost of the item as well as shipping costs, you can use the image to the right as an inspiration and dress up an existing basket you might have with satin, ribbons, and other decorations. Your imagination is your limit when it comes to the many things you can DIY for your wedding day.
