DIY Wedding Decor

One of the weddings this summer was of an architect friend of mine, M. She wanted to do a DIY wedding with a lot of industrial elements.

She had a vision and several of us helped carry it out with her.diy industrial wedding decor

The Detail

We used purple carnations, baby’s breaths and a few eucalyptus branches along with some other greens.

We used wreath metal rings that you can find at the Dollar Tree. We separated each wreath wire and got 4 circles out of each one! #frugal Then used floral wire to wrap the greens and flowers around the rings.

The Center Pieces

You can learn how to make the geometric “cage” from Home Talk blog.

Additionally, we used aluminum cans as vases to put in the center of the “cage.”

The Party Favor

You can learn how to make these at Ugly Duckling House blog.

Can you tell I’m just trying to show off my ring in these?

These are concrete coasters which were also handmade. M used a yogurt carton to pour the concrete mixture in. When they were completely dry, they popped out. Then, they were painted with a brush using white acrylic paint. She also designed a monogram and made it into a stamp which is what we used to stamp them at the end. So creative right?

The Boutineer

Even the boutineer had an extra detail which M’s sister mastered and hand crafted using copper wire and pliers!

The End ๐Ÿ™‚diy industrial wedding decor

More photos to follow (hopefully) once I get the professional ones from the photographer! ๐Ÿ˜‰

It was a lot of work but I think it turned out great, what do you think? Would you want to do a DIY wedding?
