Wedding To Remember

It is all about picking the right alternative. It is all about choosing a simple thing which would make you stand out in the crowd. Here are a few alternatives thought by Daffodil Hotel and Spa depicted in an form of infographic.

1. Why do you need to spend a lot of money on designer envelope? You can create your own customized designer envelopes simply by taking copies of a romantic picture of you and your special one and sticking it on the envelope.
2. You need not spend thousands of dollars on choosing a fancy wedding card. You can create a message in the bottle style wedding card, where all you need in a glass bottle, cork and a paper with invitation. To add more style, you can add some shells, sand, rocks or other things that would match your venue.
3. A lighting effect would take a large chunk of your money. You can create lighting effect by handing tea lights from a jam jar from the branches of a tree and have an outdoor wedding.
4. Instead of spending a considerable amount of money on flowers, you can make a bouquet out of an old book.
5. You can use bubbles as confetti or even dried herbs

CRAFT A WEDDING TO REMEMBER

Adding small touches to your wedding with your own arts and craft skills can turn a memorable day into a magical event.

Creating a beautiful invitation

The wedding invitation is your first chance to add a personal touch to your special day. Let’s make a good first impression!

1. PERSONAL ENVELOPE LINING
   • Find a picture for your envelope’s lining.
   • Trim the picture so it mirrors the shape of the flap.
   • Glue the picture to the envelope.
   • Leave to dry.
2. MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
   • Find your preferred style of bottle.
   • Write/type your message.
   • Roll up the message and tie with string or ribbon.
   • Insert message into the bottle along with any other additions.

Adding magical decorations

1. BUNTING: Personalized bunting can make any venue yours for the day.
   • Decorate the card to suit you/venue.
   • Punch holes into the card.
   • Loop your rope through the cards making sure you have lots of excess at either end.
   • Tie/pin the rope to a secure surface.
2. LIGHTING: If you want your guests to spend some time outside, why don’t you use jar lighting to create a Midsummer Night’s Dream effect?
   • Place tea lights into the jam jars.
   • Find/buy some wire and cut into 40cm long pieces.
   • Create a small loop about a third of the way along.
   • Wrap the remaining wire around the jam jar.
   • Twist the wire around each other at the opposite side of the jam jar to the loop.
   • Trim one end of the wire with pliers.
   • Make a handle shape with the remaining long end.
   • Wrap the end of the handle around the loop and trim.
3. BOOK PAGE FLOWERS: Is the bride a bit of a book worm?
   • Find a book you never want to read again (obviously) and cut out 10 cm squares.
   • Fold diagonally to make a triangle, then fold again into a smaller triangle.
   • Then cut the triangle into a snow cone like shape and snip off the bottom by 1 cm.
   • When you unfold the paper it should look like a flower.
   • Next, cut 1 petal out of the first flower, then 2 petals out of the next flower and 3 petals out of the third.
   • Pull the flower together and glue in place.
   • Once dry, roll back the petals.
   • Repeat with other flowers then stick them together.
   • Largest on the outside to smallest in the middle.
   • Now, glue a stalk of your choosing to the inside of the flower.
   • Repeat these steps to create a full bouquet.

For your first steps as MAN & WIFE

1. Confetti isn’t the only thing you can use to celebrate the ceremony… Why not use something more personal?
   • PAPER AEROPLANES
   • LAVENDAR
   • DRIED PETALS
   • BUBBLES

Quirky wedding favours everyone will love

The key to a memorable wedding favour is making it relate to the theme of the wedding or to YOU!
