Make your own re-usable decorations
Creating your own reusable wedding decorations can add a personal touch to your special day while being eco-friendly. Here are some ideas:
1. Fabric Flower Bouquets
Make beautiful bouquets using fabric flowers. You can create roses, peonies, or any flower you like from fabric, which can then be reused as home decor after the wedding.
2. Mason Jar Lanterns
Paint and decorate mason jars to create lanterns. You can fill them with fairy lights or candles. They can be used as table centerpieces, aisle decorations, or hung around the venue.
3. Burlap and Lace Table Runners
Create elegant table runners using burlap and lace. These can be used at the reception and later repurposed for other events or home decor.
4. Reusable Fabric Banners
Create banners with the couple’s names, wedding date, or sweet messages using fabric. These can be hung at the venue and later used as keepsakes or decor at home.
5. Wooden Signs
Make wooden signs with sweet messages, directions, or table numbers. You can paint or stencil the text and designs. After the wedding, these can be reused as garden decor or in your home.
6. Paper Lanterns and Pom-Poms
Make paper lanterns and pom-poms from tissue paper or crepe paper in your wedding colors. These can be hung around the venue and reused for future celebrations.
7. Reusable Table Numbers
Create table numbers using materials like wood, acrylic, or chalkboards. These can be customised with your wedding theme and reused for other events.
8. Fabric Napkins and Tablecloths
Instead of using disposable napkins and tablecloths, opt for fabric ones that can be washed and reused. You can even add personal touches by embroidering or printing on them.
9. Upcycled Glass Bottle Centerpieces
Collect glass bottles and jars to use as vases for flowers or candle holders. You can decorate them with paint, ribbon, or lace to match your wedding theme.
10. Personalised Reusable Place Cards
Create place cards using materials like wood, acrylic, or chalkboard. These can be personalised with guests’ names and reused for other occasions.
Remember, the key to reusable decorations is to choose materials that are durable and versatile. Have fun crafting and adding your personal touch to your special day!
