The DIY Guide to Make Your Wedding Table Look Perfect

It’s no secret that weddings are expensive. Whether you choose to buy or rent those additional decorations that add the extra finishing touch needed for your wedding photos, the costs add up. However, one thing that people forget sometimes is the art of DIY – and the affordability of it too.  

Although getting involved with some arts and crafts projects in your free time might not be your preferred choice of hobby, it is something that could see you save a substantial amount of money on your wedding budget.  

With this said, we discuss some simple yet effective ways to make some quirky DIY additions to your wedding tables and the resources you’ll need to make them. 

Lanterns  

Not only do lanterns make for a cute and cosy light setting, but they can also add the extra finishing touches needed to your wedding theme too. For example, if you’ve chosen a wedding venue in Cumbria, placing lanterns on your tables can enhance that old-school adventurer theme you are trying to achieve.  

Of course, buying lanterns would save time and effort, however, it wouldn’t save you any money. By taking a trip to your local store, you can create a ritzy lantern frame with just a few simple steps.  

The first thing you’ll need to buy is four photo frames and a hot glue gun or super glue. Depending on the theme you are going for, choose your frames wisely in order to keep a consistent style throughout.  

Next, remove the break-off tabs that hold in the matting from the frames and begin gluing the frames together in the shape of a cuboid. By now, you will see the frame of your lantern come together nicely.  

Once the glue is dry, purchase some pillar candles at your local store and position as many or as few as you want in the centre of your lantern. To add an extra finishing touch, place a flower wreath around the lantern in the centre of the table, making for an elegant and simplistic table display.
