Homespun Wedding Details

There is nothing as special as a wedding that feels very personal and unique. One of the best ways to make your wedding feel uniquely your own is to include some handcrafted elements. These are some ideas for homespun wedding details that will add charm to your special day.

Homespun details are especially nice at country or informal weddings, as they will make your guests to feel almost like they are in your home, rather than a wedding venue. One of the best places to start is at the end: the wedding favors. This can be a perfect area to try your hand at making something, or to give a homemade look to a favor that you purchased. A great example would be a homemade jar of jam wrapped in a red check cloth. Tie a little note to each jar with a piece of cotton string or twine thanking your guests for being a part of your wedding.

Your homespun details can also be a part of the bride’s attire. It is often nice to have some sort of a wrap to wear in the evening over your bridal gown; a very cozy style would be a handknit shawl. Another thing that is nice to have handmade is your wedding jewelry. Handmade wedding jewelry feels so much more personal because you know that it was carefully crafted by human hands, not stamped out by a machine.

A very nifty idea for your wedding is to make your own paper flowers. They can be used in bouquets, boutonierres, wreaths, and more. Tissue paper flowers have a beautiful delicate look, and they also make a fun momento of your wedding. Paper flowers will also allow you to have your bouquet be any color that you like, and will even save you money. Just be sure to start your paper flower project a long time before your wedding date!
