Creative Flower Pieces

The inclusion of flowers is considered by some to be enough to make or break a wedding. However, the world is your oyster when it comes to arrangements! Flower placement doesn’t have to be so serious and can be done in a variety of ways, and even cheaply. Plenty of wedding items can be found on DontPayFull.com, such as flower bundles as well as many other natural incorporations for a perfect wedding. Try hanging flowers from the ceiling in beautiful wicker baskets for a stylish feel that incorporates lighting. Similarly, do away with flowers alone and include little dioramas inside jars on each table, by having mini settings with flowers acting as trees and other sweet items like cookies or biscuits to act as benches. It’s creative and shows you’re going the extra mile. Creativity can also come in the shape of color alone, with the old language of floriography made especially for days such as these. Pair together some Acacias or good old Roses for true love’s touch.

Have A Flair For The Oldschool

Modern weddings have a variety of styles to them, but making yours different and special for you can mean thinking back to the old aesthetics. One way to include a hint of the traditional is to use a chalk or black board in the gardens around a wedding venue or tent to write little romantic messages on. You can even have a treasure hunt for you and your spouse once the vows have been done to find out what you really feel for each other in a simple yet beautiful way. Another way is to keep your wedding simple yet elegant, by holding it in the spring and with vintage colors in the dress designs of groomsmen and bridesmaids, and having the wedding in a garden for that secret feel. This can also include bold colors in the flowers to offset each other, such as red and white for that passionate and innocent traditional imagery.

Use Handmade Invite And Escort Cards

Receiving an invite is exciting. Having a card printed is a wonderful way to save time, but handwriting your own messages onto cards is a great way to personalise your wedding. It can help the guests feel more included in your special day, and for the top VIPs you can write funny little notes. Drawing little pictures and using your own calligraphy styles on placeholder cards is perfect for inside jokes amongst you and your closest family. These can be as elegant or silly as you like, and helps everyone to enjoy where they’re sitting if they have something fun to look at. They give the white or pale table settings a pop of colour, so there’s no worries about monochrome photos.

Display Photos In Pride Of Place

Having a photo wall for the essential photos is excellent for greeting guests, and has just the right amount of love in it for the people around you. The photos on display can be of families, friends, and you and your partner. Similarly, you can make your own photo booth by just setting up a camera and posing awkwardly. This is great activity to be saved for the reception, and is perfect for looking back on after you’ve had a couple of drinks and your creative style has been let loose. Photos can also be used as tease for the upcoming events, with shots of shoes or rings separated and hung up in a leading way right up to the aisle for guests to take their seats.

These were just a few quick tips on how to find some of the best decorations for a wedding. Keep your wedding special for you with the use of your own ideas and personalised touches. On your big day, you want to be able to look around and know you made this, and that above all, it’s a celebration of you and your partner.
