I also made my hair flower and garter for myself and a necklace and hair piece to each of my bridesmaids. My mom and I collected vintage brooches for 6 months to make my bouquet and bridesmaids’. Grandmillenial Chic Wedding With Chintz, Wisteria and A Cute Bridal Headband There are also paper flowers around the arbor that I made out of tissue paper.
Then attached a flower I made out of an old clothing pattern. We made these by simply cutting strips of paper and using modge podge. I got most of my glassware from our local thrift store so I purchased candle holders and dressed them up by decoupaging a few votive candle holders using music sheets. We also punched hearts out of old music sheets to use as confetti on the tables. We’d have “craft day sundays” to work on projects like this. I estimated we used close to 7,000 coffee filters. Same as the little ones they were just smaller balloons. The huge ones in the middle are actually 3 foott balloons we paper mached, let dry for a few days and tea stained coffee filters to later attache to them with hot glue.
Our first project was the “ruffled balls” you see above the stage and hanging in the middle of the building. I already knew I’d be making things because I wanted to make the wedding our own, but I could never guess how much we’d actually make. But I knew we could make it work and we were so happy we did it. I was worried because the building is rarely used for anything and there hasn’t had a wedding there in 53 years! It’s also not heated. I wanted something unique for our venue, and different but I didn’t want to leave town because of my grandparents so I had a few people suggest the Chautauqua building. They revamp old furniture to be made shabby chic and I borrowed so many pieces of furniture from them! I am so grateful to have them as friends. I also have a dear friend who owns a business with her sisters called Etehl Edith. My grandma has a huge Victorian house filled with antiques and she had anything and everything I needed to decorate. My mom and my Grandma Carolyn were a such a huge help.
I actually looked at Ruffled every day for the year I was planning my wedding so to have this opportunity to be one of THOSE weddings just makes me melt! I wanted to have as many hand made things as possible and for the guests to feel how much time and effort went into every detail.
I don’t know that I’ve ever had such a difficult time narrowing down images for the front page every picture from Deidre Lynn offers up new crafty ideas and beautiful colors!įrom Casey, the bride: The style I wanted for my wedding was dreamy, romantic, like a fairy tale in a lovely garden. Casey and Brett’s wedding was a handcrafted labor of love affair with vintage elements abounding, resulting in a completely untraditional yet perfect day. This young couple is too ridiculously cute for words.
