DIY Wedding Decor

Hi I am back after a long break even though I was on a break my creativity was on my head and yes I am helping my dear friend with her wedding deco who is getting married this December. I am pleased to show you’ll my deco which I have made for her wedding.
Since her wedding is in the month of December we decided to choose the Christmas theme and the color she’s chosen are purple and white.


The Bride’s and Groom Chair Wreath.

 I made 2 of these which will be tied for their chairs.

Church Bench Wreath.

These wreaths are for the church benches.Made 30 of these.
Let me tell you these wreaths are made out of tissue paper. I have use tissue paper to create the carnation. I have not used Styrofoam rings but I decided to recycle old cardboard boxes which I had. I cut the boxes in circle and wrapped them with ribbons and glued the carnation on it. I bought a bunch of artificial purple roses and glued one rose on it along with a purple ribbon bow.

Ring Bearer Pillow.

I checked plenty of ring bearer pillows on the net and finally decided to go with the flower ring bearer pillow. This pillow is made out of satin material. Just had to take a little trouble with the flower but the template made it easy for me.  I used the template to make the flower Patel and once it was cut I slightly burned the edges with the help of a candle so it gets a kind of a curvy look. I used two of each flower Patel so total petals I used were six. Glued them together and glued a shiny stone on top of it along with the ribbon.

Here is the template for the flower which i got from the net. 

 

Flower Girl Pomander Ball


         

To make this pomander ball I used Styrofoam ball and ribbons. I wrapped the ball with white ribbon. I used small size ribbon to make the purple roses and glued them according on the ball. To get a more shinny look I used swarovski stone which I had. I glued them on top of the roses and on the reaming part of the ball. Made bows of the ribbon and glued them on top and bottom of the ball. Used a ribbon to make the loop and glued it.

Artificial Orchid Arrangement

I had been to Center Point and seen these lovely breath taking artificial orchids but the cost was breath taking too. One piece coasted 20$ so i thought why not include this in my DIY project which can cost much less.


 
So here is my artificial orchid vase DIY project.

Materials used is proclain plate, artificial orchids, artificial moss ball, artificial leaves and hot glue total cost about 2$


First i glued the orchid to the artificial moss and later glued it to the plate.


Later i arranged the orchid in the desired position i required and glued the leaves and added some stones to it so it could have a natural look.
And here's its final look  pretty pretty just in  2$.

I made more 2 of these of same kind to have it on my side tables in my leaving room.
