DIY Wedding Ideas

Planning a wedding can be a stressful as you attempt to decide with your new partner in life on everything from decorations to cakes. Sometimes it can be helpful to take a step back and focus on a small decision…such as napkin rings!

Napkin rings can be homemade and therefore help save your pocketbook. Make your wedding your own with a unique napkin ring decoration that not only dresses up the reception hall, but helps save your budget. (As any wedding planner knows, even the littlest of expenses add up).

DIY Wedding Idea: Wallpaper Napkin Rings

Ever seen those pretty wallpaper prints and thought that you liked them, but they were just too much for an actual wall? Well, they might just be the perfect fit for your napkin ring design. Take wallpaper rolls and cut off a thin strip. Then wrap it around the silverware and napkins. Use double-stick tape for a sleek, elegant finish for this DIY wedding idea.

DIY Wedding Idea: Napkins with Actual Flowers

Who doesn’t love real flowers, especially at weddings? To be honest, we couldn’t love anything more. While this may seem like quite the ordeal, it’s actually a very inexpensive way to spruce up your wedding and avoid spending too much.

If you want to keep the flowers from wilting, purchase small vials of water, which you can find at a local floral shop. These will keep your flowers hydrated and maintain that fresh look.

To fold the napkin, lay it down flat and then fold in half. Make sure that the folded edge is next to you. Fold the top layer down halfway and turn the napkin over. Now you can fold the edges into the center. Finish by folding the napkin in half once more. To add the flowers, just slip them inside.

Personalized napkins are one of the easiest ways to create a fun, beautiful, and elegant look to the table. Choose your favorite flowers in the color theme of your wedding or find a classic print and you will find yourself one step closer to finalized wedding décor.
