Find an old table, sand it down and spray paint it a

DIY Bridesmaid
Flowers & Groomsmen Boutonnières:
Supplies:
Sturdy sticks, white spray paint, tissue paper, hot glue, string, yarn.
Spray paint sticks white & allow to dry. Take 4 various
sized & colored tissue paper squares; (I used teal and light aqua) bunch
& twist to form a flower & glue in place. Take yarn (I used goldenrod) and separate
until fuzzy wool is left. Take a bit of
wool and glue in center of flower. Glue flowers to branches. Assemble branches into a bunch and tie with
twine or string. To make for groomsmen repeat only on a much smaller
scale. Attach to suits using a decorative
push pin.
DIY Bouquet:

broach, decorative push pins.
Arrange fresh flowers (I used all white flowers) and
secure with wire. Hide wire by wrapping
the stems with satin ribbon (I used a teal ribbon). Pin on antique broach in center & push
pins at top/bottom.
DIY Treats Table:
Supplies: Old-fashioned or favorite candy & treats,
vintage bowls, decorative take-away bags, cloth.
Collect candy & treats (I made white/dark chocolate
covered apples) & arrange it neatly in fun, vintage decorative dishes. Cover table with a vibrant cloth. Have guests
take away candy using fun bags. If you desire, make a fun sign to hang above
table (mine said, ‘sweets’ & I used leftover paper & glue).
DIY Whimsical Signs:
Supplies: Old
wood (both flat & in stick form), paint, wood glue.
Paint a white background almost to edges on flat
wood. When dry, add letters (J + H) or
words (Wedding with an arrow or Just Married or Mr. & Mrs.) using a bright
color (I used teal). Glue stick to sign
with wood glue & allow it to dry. Dig hole & secure in ground or nail
signs to trees.
