Decorated Tin Bucket DIY Project

This project was originally submitted to my Two Moms blogs as a home decor project, but as I was looking over it, I realized how perfect it would be for a beach or garden wedding – or a fall themed wedding!
The bucket is 4″ tall, small enough to make a great wedding favor! Just fill with goodies, a candle, or give as is! These would also make great centerpeices with flowers or sand and a pillar candle in each. If you look at a local craft store or online, you can probably find smaller ones to use a votive holder/favors and larger ones if you want a larger or layered centerpiece.
Do double duty: a small version could be used as a votive holder for romantic lighting, favor for guests to take home, and placecard – all in one. To do this, simple put the guest’s name on the top portion of the tag, with a thank you note, your names and date on the bottom portion! You save a little money – and table space!
For a beach wedding: Use beach colors (sand, blue, etc) and replace the flower cut outs with sailboat, fish, shell and other beach shapes – or even real shells!
For a garden wedding: Use as is, but with colors that match your wedding colors.
For a fall wedding: Use earthy tones like reds, yellows, browns, browns, oranges, etc. Instead of flower cut outs, use leaf cutouts.
You can find the complete instructions on my Two Moms blog. Enjoy.
Some Neat Finds that could be Beach Wedding Worthy
Posted by Crystal in Beach Weddings, Decorations, Destination Weddings, Wedding Favors

Cute Bamboo Torches for lighting! They come decorated as shown! These could be placed around the reception area or along walkways. They could also be used as “candles” down the wedding aisle. They can be planted in the sand to make them sturdy, and they burn on oil and will hold up to breezes better then a regular candle. They are $18.95 for a set of 3, already decorated!

Raffia and Shells Garland – this is really pretty! You could use this inbetween the torches around the reception area, pathways, or even as decor for the wedding aisle, strung from chair to chair. Could be used for the head table, cake table, guest book table, etc. These are 67″ long for $7.95.

Grass Table Skirt – looks kind of tacky with the beach ball and blue table top, but with a dark green or white table top and some garland or tulle swags, this could look very elegant. You could even put icicle lights under it. These are $13 for a 9″ skirt, but would work well to use just on the head table and/or cake table to make them stand out.

These are neat, but not cheap ($40 each) . If you are having a beach wedding, you could set up a few resting spots like the ones in the picture to add to the decor and give guests a place to sit and chat.

At $15 for a set of 3, these sea shell votive holders would work great as centerpeices or even as favors if your budget allows. I love the fishing netting used here. Three of these, with a framed photo of the couple, arranged in a pile of that netting would make a neat centerpeice. Or, arrange a large peice of drift work, one candle and the netting, for another great centerpiece idea!

If you are having a fun, casual beach wedding, these tote bags would make great Out Of Town guest bags or even wedding favors! They are only $15 for a set of 12 – so they are also fairly affordable.
COTW: LIME GREEN Edible Favors
Posted by Crystal in Wedding Favors

The Chicago Chocolate Company is know for exquisite chocolates and their Lime Creams are no different. These tasty chocolate creams would make wonderful favors and are $15.99 for a pound. For an elegant, trendy favor, place one or two creams in white favor boxes and tie witha lime colored ribbon.

For a more contempory feel, these Mojito Cool Bean Mixers are perfect. They are also fairly well priced at $3.75 each including the tin!
COTW: Blue & Yellow Decor Idea

COTW: PINK & BROWN at Michael’s
Posted by Crystal in DIY Weddings, Decorations, Flowers, Wedding Favors

Even Michael’s is getting in on the Pink & Brown craze with this stunning table setting idea! most of the items seen on the table are projects available online at Micheal’s – see them below with links. For the rest, here are our ideas:
Pink Table Cloth & Tableware – for a budget wedding – RENT RENT RENT! Pink table clothes and white china are available for rent in most areas for very reasonable prices. If you can not find the brown charger plates, then we recommend leanign them white and using brown napkins to add the brown color to each place setting. Personally, I think the napkin roll would look better in brown anyway.
Table Runner and Table Number – You can probably rent chocolate table runners. Then, use various widths and styles of ribbon to decorate each runner. Secure the ribbons with pins at each end and at various places through out were the table decor will hide them. For the table number, print your own on blank recipe cards.
Place Markers – If you have your heart set on the picture frame place markers – check out local dollar stores and thrift shops as often as you can, buying any frames that you find in the write color and shape until you have enough, or find out if you can rent these locally.

It’s been a while since I have featured any Ebay items here on the blog. Today, I decided to take a look and see what kind of things I could find for “pink & brown wedding” and “pink & brown dress”- check out these great finds! I won’t link to the auctions as auctions are constantly ending – but visit ebay and do a search! You might find these or better!
I found – garter belts, jewelry, favors, invitations, dresses, handbags, guestbooks, ring pillows and pew bows! Click on images to see larger versions.
Chocolate Covered Fortune Cookies
Posted by Crystal in Asian Wedding Theme, Wedding Favors, Wedding Themes

Here is a neat idea for an asian themed wedding – chocolate covered fortune cookies! When I found these, I knew they HAD to be blogged! These are 75 cents each and they come individually wrapped and tied with a ribbon in the color of your choice! They can also be dipped in colored chocolate or sprinkles. All you need to do is add a tag with your names and the date on it and you are done. I think it is pretty safe to say that even a DIY bride can not beat that price:)

Posted by Crystal in Butterfly Weddings, Decorations, Flower Wedding Themes, Wedding Favors, Wedding Themes
This is the last day of our Orange Week, and I will finish off with some orange wedding favor ideas – unless I find a Must See before then end of the day, lol. Enjoy:)


These beautiful favor boxes are $1.95 from Shophie’s Favors. You can fill the box with chocolates or mints and add a beautiful, floral touch to each place setting!

This Large Glass Butterfly might be a bit expensive for a wedding favor – at $8 each. But, it would make a lovely and inexpensive centerpiece. Surround it with silk daisies for a butterfly garden feel.

Orange Marzipan Roses from Marzipan World are cute idea for a favor. They are $2.63 each including the box, and are Gluten and GM Free! For a special touch, using orange ribbon or an orange stamp to decorate the boxes.

For a more affordable option, you can purchase orange organza bags in bulk and fill with mints or candies. I found these ones on Ebay. You get 100 bags for about $14 including shipping!
Cool find: Pink Polka Dot Purse Frames
Posted by Crystal in Decorations, Polka Dot Wedding, Wedding Favors, Wedding Themes

I found these today on the Favor Ideas site and HAD to share them! They are so cute! At $3.75 each, they would work as favors for a small wedding, table numbers, bridesmaid gifts, bridal shower favors or a garden party. The frames are pink and black polka dot design and they are beautifully adorned with black ribbon trim and a pink satin rose. The black beaded handle adds to the decor of the purse frames. And of course, then can be shipped to Canada – which is always a plus.
