For those with a sweet tooth, the true test of a wedding is in the cake. When we come across a creative confection, not only do our mouths water, but we also find ourselves wanting to preserve its beauty . Today, we are sharing cakes we love from our real weddings. We hope you enjoy these delectable masterpieces, and, as Marie Antoinette famously said, “Let them eat cake”!
Great for saving a little money and allowing you to truly customize every detail of your wedding, it’s easy to understand why DIY wedding decor is becoming more and more popular. We’ve collected some of our favorite DIY wedding decor inspiration from Junebug brides for your perusal. Feel free to add these crafty ideas to your Pinterest board!
Grab a few jars, fill them with your favorite flowers, hang them by a string, and voila – the perfect ceremony backdrop!
To add a pretty pop of color to any setting, hanging pompoms and tassels are the perfect way to incorporate a little whimsy in your decor. They’re also inexpensive and simple to create!
If you want to take your DIY skills to the next level, try making your own flower arrangements! Take a floral design class to experiment before the big day and then use your new skills as a fun activity for you and your bridal party the morning of the wedding.
For a colorful ceremony backdrop, cut long strips of different colored/patterned fabric and tie the strips randomly to a rope or wire. You can hang the fabric anywhere lacking personality!
We’re loving these homemade banners that are not only adorable, but tell guests where to find food, drinks, or the dance floor. If you have calligraphy skills, or know someone who writes beautifully, create your own signs. Save some money and add your own personal spin to your wedding banners!
All you need is a chalkboard and some chalk or paint to create your own wedding signage! Draping a patterned blanket over the sign and adding a hanging candle makes the sign above look fun and whimsical.
Instead of using a plain cornhole board, paint one yourself to reflect your wedding theme/colors. You can even go the extra mile and cover the little bean bags with a fabric of your choice!
A wooden box with kerosene jars and rocks is all you need to cook up this tasty campfire staple! Be sure to bring kabob sticks for your guests, as well as graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows!
Katy and Will’s traditional church wedding was a celebration of their love for art and history, as well as each other. Photographed by Michael Carr, the detailed architecture of the University of Chicago’s Bond Chapel, along with the string quartet and vintage rings reflected their simply exquisite English-inspired wedding style.
The Inspiration: We wanted a simple-but-elegant, romantic, smaller wedding that reflected our love of art and history. We had both loved Bond Chapel at the University of Chicago even before we met, and knew we had to marry there–it’s so English and romantic and intimate.
