Vintage themed weddings are one of the most popular styles right now. Adding this style to your wedding decorations can be fun and inexpensive when you do it yourself! This article will provide you with instructions on five vintage DIY wedding decorations ideas you can make on a budget.
1. Vintage Glass Centerpieces
Centerpieces are a great way to display your vintage style. You can find inexpensive vintage and vintage inspired glass vases, bottles, and jars on the internet, thrift stores, and at yard sales. Simply gather a bunch of these glass pieces together on a table and flowers, painted branches, or feathers to the jars to create a one of a kind centerpiece that can also be used as a party favor. You can also add lace or ribbon to the bottles to bring in your color scheme!
2. Suitcase Card Box
A vintage suitcase is a wonderful and unique way to add charm to your wedding decorations. For this DIY project, all you will need is some pretty fabric, fabric markers, some fabric glue, and a small vintage suitcase. Drape the fabric on the inside of the box and add the glue to secure it in place inside. Then use the markers to make a sign for the cards on a smaller piece of fabric. Glue this to the inside of one sides of the suitcase. Just stand the suitcase halfway open to display your sign, and you will receive tons of cards and compliments.
3. Book Page Flowers
Vintage book pages make great flowers that can be added to all different parts of your wedding décor. To make these paper flowers you will need vintage paper, skewers or wooden dowels, hot glue, a glue gun, and scissors. Start by cutting a five-inch circle from a piece of paper. Start on one edge of the circle and use the scissors to cut the circle into a spiral. Then glue the beginning of the spiral to the end of the dowel. Wrap the spiral around the dowel, gluing along the way, and you will have created a lovely flower for your wedding day.
4. Mason Jar Lanterns
To make mason jar lanterns on a budget, simply check out your local dollar store for jars and votives. Then remove the flat part of the lid and add a votive to the inside of the jar. You can tie cord around the lips of the jars to make them hang able if you like. You can also add ribbon or flowers to the outside of the jars to make the DIY decoration even more special.
5. Distressed Fancy Frame Signs
Another useful decoration is a framed sign that is hand distressed. Simply purchase some inexpensive fancy frames from your local craft or dollar store. Then paint them white. Using sand paper, steel wool, or a metal brush, lightly rub the frame to distress the paint and give it a unique and vintage look. Then print out or handwrite the signs on nice paper and add them to the frames.
These DIY projects are inexpensive and easy. They will help you make your own wedding decorations on a budget while incorporating your own unique vintage style.
