A wedding is a solemn and long-awaited event for lovers. It is important to treat with special trepidation not only the general plan of the event, but also the trifles that create the main coloring of the celebration. Wedding agencies and managers with pleasure will help you with the organization of a holiday and its decoration. But to make beautiful little things with your own hands with tenderness and care is much more interesting.
Cushion for rings
Creating such a wedding accessory as a ring cushion will not take you long. Moreover, now there are a huge number of master classes in the creation of a variety of handmade accessories. It is necessary to purchase a small piece of white satin, white beads, satin ribbon 1 cm wide, 5 cm wide lace, synthetic winterizer or sintepukh in the needle shop. Ribbon color can be white or any suitable.
First you need to make the pad itself the size of 10 by 10 cm:
- we cut two squares with a side of 12 cm out of white satin (2 cm - seam allowances);
- we fold the squares with each other with the material face inward;
- we sweep the blanks or fix them with pins to avoid material slipping when stitching;
- we grind the product with allowance for seams of 2 cm, leaving a small “window”;
- turn out the product on the front side and fill it with padding polyester;
- The loose edges of the “window” are twisted and sewn neatly with hidden stitches.
Now the most interesting is decorating:
- lace sheathe one side pads;
- from a ribbon 1 cm wide we form two bows, for this we cut two pieces of a ribbon 4 and 6 cm long, each fold inwards with ends to the middle of the section, fix with stitches;
- sew on a pad the prepared tapes on each other;
- we decorate the middle bows with white beads.
For these bows will be attached wedding rings newlyweds.
If the newlyweds decided that the main guide of the holiday style will be a specific color, then in this case you can create an original pad using colored laces and satin ribbons.
To create such pads will need:
- a piece of white material measuring 17 by 17 cm (it is better to use velvet or linen, so the lace will not slip);
- blue and white satin ribbons 5 and 3 cm wide, respectively;
- delicate white lace;
- 3 cm wide blue lace;
- blue and white beads.
Let's start creating pads for wedding rings:
- we cut two squares with a side of 17 cm out of the material, leave the seam allowances of 2 cm on each side;
- we are preparing two pieces of blue lace 17 cm each, one piece of blue ribbon 17 cm long, one piece of white ribbon 29.5 cm;
- To the front of one of the square blanks we tackle a blue ribbon, placing it in the center;
- over white blue tape;
- laces are placed with an overlap of 0.5 cm on the blue ribbon;
- we sew ribbons and lace with the base;
- fold the blanks of the pad to the front of the material and grind it in line with the seam allowance of 2 cm, leaving a part of the edge free to turn the product on the front side;
- With the help of an ordinary pencil, we turn out the resulting “pillowcase” on the front side;
- we fill with padding polyester and gently close the free edge with hidden stitches.
Now go to the most interesting part of creating a pillow:
- fold the white ribbon in the center and sew;
- from the free loop of the ribbon we fold up the steps two bows with edges 4 and 3 cm long;
- sew a blue bead and a white cord in the center;
- we make out a blue bead on the edge with pearls of white color.

Invitations for guests
The first impression about the nature of the wedding is made when you receive an invitation. This is an element of the upcoming celebration, which should not only inform about the place, date and time of the holiday, but also immerse guests in its atmosphere. Invitations can be very diverse: in vintage or classic style, with photos of the newlyweds, in the form of cases, bundles and cards decorated with flowers and lace. This list is endless.
Invitations can be purchased at wedding salons, resort to the services of professionals or do it yourself.
Invitations made by yourself will certainly be appreciated by your guests as a sign of respect and importance of their presence at the upcoming holiday. Consider several options for invitations that you can make yourself
Scrolls
To create such invitations do not require special skills. You will need: A4 paper, five tea bags, matches or a lighter, colored satin ribbon.
The process of making an invitation is as follows:
- brew in 250 ml of boiling water 5 tea bags and leave to infuse;
- Pour the finished tea into a mold or a deep tray;
- The sheets are completely dipped in turn in liquid, taken out, drained, suspended until completely dry;
- under the flame of fire we process the edges of the sheets (be careful and follow the safety precautions!);
- put the finished sheets in the printer and type the text of the invitation (take into account the indents, because the length and width of the sheets will decrease);
- we turn the sheets into a straw, wrap them in satin ribbon, fix them with a bow.
Using lace
This type of invitation immediately sets the romantic and gentle nature of the wedding. Accessories are also simple to perform, but this does not detract from their sophistication.
For the manufacture of invitations we need:
- cardboard density of 150 g / sq. m (color and texture of the canvas can be varied);
- delicate lace;
- glue rhinestones;
- satin ribbon 1 cm wide;
- glue (surely transparent), “Moment-Crystal” is perfect;
- White paper.
Algorithm manufacturing:
- cut a rectangle 12 cm wide and 24 cm long;
- bend in half, aligning the corners;
- 12 cm long piece of lace should be carefully glued to the front side of the invitation, departing 2 cm from the bottom edge;
- use sharp scissors to trim edges;
- At the length of the satin ribbon 13 cm long, we use fire to burn the edges, this will help avoid splitting the ribbon when working;
- glue the tape to the middle of the lace, bending the edges inward to 0.5 cm on both sides;
- we form a bow from a cut of a tape 12 cm long;
- glue the bow and decorate it with rhinestones;
- cut out a square with a side of 11 cm out of white paper, paste it into the invitation, observing indents from the edge of 0.5 cm, the text can be entered manually or printed in advance.
Money box
It's no secret that at weddings it is customary to give banknotes. Such a gift is practical both for the guest and for the newlyweds. Therefore, an essential attribute of a modern wedding is a box for money. The number of the offered finished boxes is striking in its diversity: wooden with laser cutting, in the form of trunks and boxes, decorated with lace, crystals, flowers, etc.
The box can be made very quickly with your own hands at minimal cost.
It is not necessary to spend money on the purchase of a finished wedding accessory. For the manufacture of money boxes, figuratively reminiscent of a pyramid or multi-layer cake, you will need:
- three boxes of different volume of the same shape;
- paper for decoration and creativity;
- 5 cm wide satin ribbons;
- rhinestones and glue-based crystals;
- beads;
- transparent glue.
During creative work it is necessary to remember accuracy. The cleaner and more laborious the work will be done, the more aesthetic will be the end result.
- In the lid of the box of medium size with a stationery knife cut a rectangular hole.
- From the outside, the surface of each of the three boxes is covered with paper for decoration, including their covers.
- Wrap boxes with satin ribbon, fix them with glue. We tie a ribbon at the edges of the big and small boxes with a bow.
- Glue rhinestones in the center of the formed bows.
- In the central part of the ribbon on the middle box we paste the inscription with the names of the newlyweds and the date of the celebration. Along the edge of the inscription decorated with crystals.
- We fold the boxes pyramid and glue to each other.
Car decor
An important detail of the preparation for the wedding is the design of the motorcade. In the decoration of cars reflect the overall color and the idea of celebration. First you need to decide on what class cars will be, what color, and also in what quantity.
For example, old cars themselves carry the spirit of outrageous and elegant, so do not require additional and bright decorations. Ordinary cars that people use in everyday life for movement, you can safely decorate with ribbons, lace, live or artificial flowers. High-class cars, SUVs or crossovers are best decorated in a restrained minimalist style with compositions from fresh flowers.
For car decoration, you can resort to the help of professionals: florists, companies organizing events, and you can decorate them yourself. Flower decorations are always popular. It is possible to make a path from artificial flowers, originally twisting their stems. You can arrange such a decoration along the hood of the car or diagonally. Most importantly, the composition was framed in the general style of the holiday.
Handles of the car are decorated with small floral arrangements.
To complete them, you will need a satin ribbon, an organza ribbon and a flower bud. Having formed an arbitrary bow of two tapes, we fix the bud at its base with the help of a glue gun. Accessory ready!
It is much easier to make the decoration of satin ribbons, decorating it with bows. For reliable fastening of a tape to a car cowl, the elastic is sewn to its ends. Additionally, the accessory can be fixed with scotch tape to avoid slipping.
It is important to consider the color of transport. On dark cars look great decorative elements in light beige shades. Bright compositions are beautifully contrasted with light cars. It is necessary to take into account and take into account that the entire motorcade of cars should be decorated in the same style and color scheme.
