The newest wedding trends & ideas for DIY projects
Wedding Trends; colours & schemes
I'm sure you already have a picture in your head as to how your wedding day will be. You must have imagined over and over what the dress will be like, what your bridesmaids will be wearing and what the flowers, tables, button holes, music, favours............will be like.
But when it actually comes to organising the big day, your ideas can be overwhelming. You may need a little assistance to make your vision a reality, that you can enjoy!
Looking at Wedding trends are a useful source of inspiration. You of course do not need to follow the trend, but can take ideas to suit you.
Popular colours and schemes for 2015 seem to involve muted tones, pretty pastels and natural greens, hinting towards outdoor themes of nature and ever popular vintage finishes.
The colour combinations below are beautiful examples of how these colours can be used to create very elegant yet fresh schemes, that can be as classic or as original as you wish.
Sage and Peony
Lilac and Dusty Blue
Fresh greens, sage, lilacs and pinks have been used in the fabrics, flowers and table decorations to create a fresh youthful feel. Capturing a wedding style with vintage and natural qualities.
Nude colours like tan, beige, Ivory and cream teamed with earthy greens, brown or purple also make for a modern and sophisticated colour scheme.
As mentioned, many of these schemes are very much suited to the outdoor wedding. Mixing these colours with hessian fabrics, vintage florals and rustic wild flower decor will achieve the perfect balance.
Wedding Craft DIY project ideas
Check out my Pinterest boards for a whole host of wedding DIY craft ideas....but here are a few to wet your appetite and get your ideas flowing.
Garlands
Make pretty shabby chic garlands out of strips of fabric tied to a twine or string.
This is a very pretty and easy idea that requires no sewing!
Photographs
For a unique way of displaying photographs, maybe have an instant camera available for guests, then prepare these pretty frames to hang photos of the day.
Customise old frames with paint or fabric and tie string or twine across in rows in a taut manner. Attach wooden pegs for pinning photos to.
Use co-ordinating fabrics or unique vintage pieces in the background to hide the string attachments and create a background for your pictures. These frames could be given away after the wedding to close friends, or kept to decorate your home.
Flower decorations
Create beautiful sparking decorations by up cycling old perfume bottles or light bulbs. Add fresh flowers and twine to hang the sparkling masterpieces from empty frames or from trees around the venue.
In Summary; The Trends and how to use them
Muted colour pallettes
Team nude with muted natural tones such as sage or pastels
Dress your bridesmaids in a range of tones within the same colour for a suitable yet effective way of introducing depth to your scheme
Materials & Decoration
Embrace the natural theme inspired by these colours by using natural materials within your decorations, such as twine, twigs, berries and up cycling
Add vintage and shabby chic charm by creating many of the decorations yourself. Up cycle old photo frames, jam jars and perfume bottles to create wreaths or other hanging decorations.
