Wedding decorations: what are there and how to make them yourself?

Organizing a wedding comes with a lot of hassle. I want everything to be perfect. Every little thing plays a role here. Therefore, it is worth thinking not only about a wedding dress and a banquet, but also about those decorations that will create a festive atmosphere.

Perhaps you still have no idea how many accessories and embellishments are needed to organize a wedding. You will say that you used to manage somehow without them. Yes, but today many couples do themed weddings.

Therefore, let's figure out what accessories and jewelry are needed for a wedding. In order not to forget anything, write down all the stages of the wedding and determine what is needed for each of them. Preparation for the wedding includes having guests who will need to hand out beautiful invitations.

Ransom of the bride:

• the design of the tuple;
• bouquet for the bride and future mother-in-law;
• registration of the bride's apartment, where the redemption will be made.

Ceremony at the registry office:

• ring cushion;
• folder for marriage certificate;
• glasses for breaking.

Banquet:

• hall decoration;
• festive table;
• arch;
• area for a photo session;
• glasses for the bride and groom;
• decorated bottles;
• box for money;
• seating cards;
• candles.

This is exactly the accessory on which the rings will be served to the young during the wedding. It's okay if you don't prepare it beforehand. Representatives of the registry office will offer you a standard beautiful saucer on which the rings will lie. Such an accessory will serve not only at the ceremony itself, but will also create a wonderful background for photo rings.

But if you want to emphasize the individual character of your celebration, then you can sew a pillow yourself. There is nothing complicated here. It will be enough to buy beautiful material and lace. The pillow can be made not only in a square or rectangular shape. The heart can also be a very popular shape. This will emphasize the romance of the moment. Special variations suitable for your theme (shells, vases made of natural material, etc.) are not prohibited either.

Breaking glasses "for luck" is a pleasant and entertaining tradition. The dishes for this will need to be prepared in advance. Someone will say that it is a pity to beat expensive crystal. Then you can approach this process creatively. For example, buy inexpensive glasses or take a couple from the existing set and decorate them with special paint, rhinestones and other elements. Depending on the chosen theme, the drawings on the glasses can repeat the given style. For a classic scenario, lace imitation and beautiful white stains are suitable.

After the representative of the registry office gives you the coveted document, it will need to be invested somewhere so that it does not wrinkle or get lost. The stores sell standard folders for marriage registration certificates. But no one forbids you to make your own.

In the future, you will need this document more than once, so make sure that the decor is securely attached. In a hard folder, it will be very convenient to carry a document with you in your bag, but if there are a lot of beads, rhinestones, etc. on it, they can come loose. It is more expedient to use a standard folder or corner for these purposes, and at home you can again enclose the main document of the family in an elegant wrapper.

Ready-made options can be purchased at any store that sells postcards. But this is rather corny and prosaic. After all, you yourself want your wedding to be like no other. So start with invitations. Make them yourself. You will need beautiful thick cardboard, lace and other decorative items (optional).

Print the text on beautiful paper and glue it into cardboard blanks. The outer side can be decorated with lace and beautiful satin ribbon ties. This is just one of the options. What your unique invitation will be depends only on your imagination and desire. You can be creative in drawing up the text of the invitation itself, and not just write the date and time of the wedding.

The tradition of appointing bridesmaids came to us from the West, and has already taken root. While witnesses do not play as important a role today as they once did, they are being successfully replaced by an army of bridesmaids. To highlight their status, they dress in the same (or similar in style and color) dresses. A kind of decoration is tied to their hand - a garter. They are all the same.

You can make them yourself. At the same time, they are well combined in color and style with the image and general theme of the wedding. These are mainly transparent ribbons with decorative flowers.

Special cards will help to avoid fuss and awkward moments when seating. It is up to you to take care of the optimal arrangement of your guests. After all, only you know who and with whom you know and are best friends. It is necessary to take into account the categories of guests: relatives, friends, colleagues, etc. The cards are made very simply. Even without special skills in working with editors. You can write the name of the guest in a nice font. It is necessary to print on thick paper or cardboard.

A creative option is also possible. For example, when a nameplate is tied to a napkin or small flower. Can be used as a holder for a stick with a name and a chocolate candy in a beautiful golden wrapper. There are a lot of options here. One has only to understand that in this way you will not only designate the place of each guest, but also bring additional wedding decor to the table decoration.

In addition to the festive table setting, you can provide additional accessories that will create a mood. These can be small bouquets decorated with beautiful ribbons. If everything happens in the summer, then you can save money and make small bouquets of wildflowers. Candles will be needed not only for decorating the table, but also for the symbolic tradition of "home". You can make them yourself by visiting or watching a master class on how to make them, or buy an ordinary candle and decorate it.

No matter how trite it may be, most guests prefer to give cash gifts. Yes, and for a young family, spent on the celebration, funds will not be superfluous. You can, of course, just collect all the money envelopes and hide them securely, or you can build a special box for this purpose. It will also be needed in some contests. For example, when "buying" a piece of wedding cake. Agree, it will look much more aesthetically pleasing and elegant than just collecting money with a toastmaster. How exactly to make such a box? It can imitate a chest or a piggy bank.

If you have a large box at home, then you will only have to decorate it. In the absence of such, you can make it from thick cardboard. You can buy an inexpensive simple option in the store, and decorate as you wish. The design style should either be combined with the general theme, or be frankly festive and wedding.

Those glasses from which young people will drink require special attention. They can be decorated in the style of "bride and groom". Or just decorate with symbolic wedding rings, white doves. Celebration bottles can also be a decoration. You can order special labels and pre-stick them on bottles of alcohol.

You will learn how to make the decor of bottles and wine glasses by watching the following video.

Much attention should be paid to the car in which the bride and groom will go. For her, you can rent beautiful voluminous bows, ribbons and other accessories. But the rest of the cars cannot be left in their usual form. Usually, decorations are attached to door handles, bumpers.

If the wedding is planned outside the city, then you can arrange a tent and an arch. Although the latter can be equipped at the entrance to the hall. Small bouquets, bar counter and tables themselves will complement the interior.

For guests and newlyweds, you can equip a special photo zone. It could even be a small table with a beautiful tablecloth and wedding decor. Also, a tent will do a great job with this role.

You can also diversify wedding photos with the help of original volumetric figures. They are made from polystyrene foam. What exactly to cut, each pair decides independently. It can be the names (or initials) of the newlyweds, the word love, and rings. Recently, it has become very fashionable to design a kind of hashtag inscriptions.

So, from these materials you can create the following elements for decorating a wedding:

• car decorations (ribbons and tulle will be an excellent material for decorating a wedding cortege);
• wedding invitations: we have already considered the options for their design using satin ribbons, lace and beads (you can also make decorations using the quilling technique);

• tablets on the table;
• bandages on the hand of bridesmaids (you can't do without beautiful translucent ribbons here);

• box for money;
• decoration of the hall and table.

Making handmade items from beads is a rather painstaking and delicate work.

Beads can be used to decorate a ring cushion or attach it to invitations as a decorative element. You can also make bracelets from it - bandages for bridesmaids. This is quite painstaking work, but the result is worth it. Such a piece of jewelry will remain in their collection for a long time, and will remind of this day. It is enough to study the weaving patterns, and the original bracelet will adorn the handles of the girlfriends.

Little things at a wedding play an important role. They create a certain atmosphere and remain in the memory of guests and newlyweds for a long time. Make them yourself or order ready-made - each pair decides for itself. But in fact, and in another case, you will need to show your own imagination.
