One has only to choose the most suitable for you and make it. In addition, guests will appreciate your efforts and keep these cards as a keepsake.

Classic invitations are made in white or pastel colors. For manufacturing, you do not need so many materials:

• white / colored cardboard or paper;
• scissors;
• glue;
• lace and ribbons for decoration.

First, decide what format your invitations will be. Then select the text to fill the postcard, print it on the blanks.Usually, 2 invitations are made from an A4 sheet, this size is the most optimal. If the edges of the invitation are curly or carved, then the second step will be to cut the outline according to the picture. You can make a hole on top and tie a small satin bow in it.

Cut out an envelope from cardboard or thick paper, into which you then attach the invitation. Its size should be such that the invitation fits freely in it. Decorate the envelope if desired with a lace ribbon or satin ruffle, beads or pebbles.

The color of the decorative finishing of the envelope can be chosen to match the entire celebration. The color of Marsala is considered very fashionable. It contrasts with the lighter colors and makes wedding invitations more dramatic. Additionally, you can make a bow on the envelope, like on the invitation itself, only a little larger.

Young people usually pay much attention to the decoration of the banquet hall. After all, it is there that most of the evening passes, where all guests and relatives gather together to congratulate the newlyweds. To decorate a restaurant, you can also make decorative decorations on your own.

For example, it is not difficult to create a seating chart for guests. Usually, at the entrance to the banquet hall, a map is set up for placing guests at the tables, and also a plate with its number is placed on each table. This way your guests won't get confused and sit down quickly and without too much hustle and bustle. To complete such a kit, you will need:

• cardboard or paper for making table numbers;
• scissors;
• frame or stand;
• self-adhesive colored stickers;
• felt-tip pens or markers;
• decorative ornaments.

On a sheet of the required format, sketch out a plan for the arrangement of tables in the hall. Tables can be designated in the form of circles or rectangles (depending on which ones are in the restaurant), indicate their numbers. On multi-colored self-adhesive stickers, write the names of the guests and arrange them on the diagram in the way you want the guests to be seated. This idea is very simple and original.

Place cards with numbers on the tables in the banquet hall itself. They can be made from thick cardboard of a suitable color. The numbers can either be cut out of colored paper, or drawn in curly fonts, or simply printed. If you wish, you can decorate both the seating scheme at the entrance and the numbers on the tables in the general style of the celebration.

Often in restaurants where the celebration takes place, a photo zone for guests is installed. Its design should also not stand out from the general design of the wedding. It can be a separate room or a small corner right in the banquet hall. Usually, photo zones are decorated with ribbons or flowers, textiles.

With your own hands, you can make garlands of fabric or paper for the background of the shooting area. Making decorative bouquets can also bring pleasure to the bride: small bonsais made of ribbons, ruffles and beads are easy to make, if you wish. Decorations in the style of kanzashi look spectacular in photo zones. Thus, you can make flowers, garlands, wreaths for bridesmaids.

An ordinary slate board can serve as a photo zone. This will be an original solution: guests and relatives can write congratulations and wishes for the newlyweds on the blackboard. And to be photographed in the process of writing and against the background of the inscriptions already made. You just need to decorate the board around the perimeter with balls or flowers, put crayons next to it in a beautiful basket - your photo zone is ready.

There are many ideas for original wedding decoration on your own. The main thing is not to forget about the general style of the celebration and adhere to it in everything. The color scheme can be very diverse: it is customary to arrange weddings in light colors (powdery, white, ivory, peach), but modern couples are increasingly arranging celebrations with bright accents.You can often find wedding celebrations in contrasts of white with cherry, purple, lilac, blue or green. Purple is considered very fashionable in wedding celebrations: with a competent placement of accents, it will not look gloomy and not solemn.

DIY wedding accessories are usually kept for many years as a keepsake of a solemn event. Many ideas are not difficult to implement, but they will become the highlight of the wedding and will not be like anyone else's. A beautiful idea would be to make a set of items in the same style: pillows for rings, glasses of the newlyweds, a bottle of champagne and a bride's garter. You can make these items using the same lace or satin, which will create harmony in the images and emphasize the style of the wedding.

Bracelets for bridesmaids can be made to match the celebration. They can be made in the form of flowers using the kanzashi technique. Flowers from satin will look spectacular and bright, will make your friends stand out among all the guests. In addition, the girls will definitely keep such unusual souvenirs as a keepsake.

The choice of fabrics is wide, from expensive to the most budgetary, and the color palette allows you to choose an option that is ideal for a wedding theme.

Decorating a wedding day in an elegant and harmonious way is not an easy task. It is important to take into account the desires of the young couple, their mood and style, and also take into account such nuances as the season, the venue of the banquet.
