So HOW will I make this wedding theme a reality?? Here's a sneak preview of 8 of my low-cost design ideas and a few of the DIY projects that I'm working on! As you'll notice, I have been frequenting the Christmas Tree Shop for many of my 'personal touches'... I highly reccommend it for inexpensive decorative items!! Stay tuned for pictures and/or instructions on ALL of these fun projects and ideas!1. Place cards: I've seen place cards on sticks that are stuck into grass... well, I'd like to use green cartons of berries all lines up with the place cards stuck into them!
2. Hanging Letters: I bought white hanging letters with my fiance and I's initials at Michael's for a couple dollars and decorated them with artificial flowers and berries!
2. Blue and white flower/toile print ceramics: I bought blue and white decorative balls (seen above) from the Christmas Tree Shop for only $1!! It was a steal!! I'm not sure where I'm going to put them yet... or how I will display them... but I'm a bargain shopper and they matched our theme! :) I've also bought a couple beautiful blue and white flowered vases/jars, as well as the bird pictured above, on ebay for inexpensive prices! They were probably about $15, as opposed to the jars shown in my inspiration board, which are over $200 a piece from William and Sonoma!
3. Homemade French Memo Boards: These are SO easy to make, and since I can personalize every aspect of them, from the fabric to the buttons, they will be a perfect detail to compliment our wedding theme and display personal memories! I covered the art canvas with batting, but I have not yet found the 'perfect' fabric to use to cover them... but when I'm finished, I'll be sure to share them with you, along with step by step instructions so you can make them, too!
4. Mason Jars: Fall is known for apple cider, which also happens to be my fiance and I's favorite drink! We'll be incorporating our love for cider into our wedding by serving our guests apple cider in mason jars (also only $1 at the Christmas Tree Shop). BUT, I didn't just stop there! I used thin ribbons in our color scheme to decorate the handles of the mason jars to give them that extra special
5. Monogrammed Mini Tissue Packages: Instead of the Nantucket brand stickers closing the packages, I'm going to get stickers that better match our wedding theme. I'm going to put the tissue packages in a basket with a silly little poem that I wrote: "We hope you smile and laugh a little, too/As we join our hearts and say, 'I do,'/ But should a tear slip from your eye,/ Have a tissue to keep nearby!"
6. Fleece Blankets: Another Christmas Tree Shop purchase! Can you believe these super soft fleece throw blankets were only $2.99?!? I couldn't either... I bought 6. "Don't you just love a bargain!" :) I'm going to be tying them all with blue satin ribbon and accenting them with a sprig of artificial blueberries and a tag that will read "Keep Cozy!". They'll be perfect to put in a cute basket outside for guests who want to mingle under the stars on a brisk September evening!
7. Throw Pillows: They're not pictured yet because I haven't picked out the fabric, but I'm going to be using them for our outdoor "lounge" area! I will probably match the fabric with the message boards to tie everything together!
8. Bird Stamp: How cute is that bird stamp?! The stamp's called Doodle Bird, and I bought it at Michael's. We're going to be using it to stamp throughout the wedding on tags and other stationary type things!
