Five DIY touches for your wedding

Weddings are hands-down one of the most important days of your life, and every couple is different, so no ceremony or reception is the same.

Thanks to Southern California wedding and events planner Lace and Likes, we are presenting five ways to make the most of your day by adding personal touches where your style can shine.

For a homemade touch at the reception tables, consider making your own table numbers.

Supplies:

• Fabric glue
• Tacky glue
• Scissors
• Photo frames
• Fabrics
• Buttons
• Paper

Instructions:

1. Gather fabrics and paper. Lace and Likes went to craft stores and bought sample and scrap fabric pieces by the yard.
2. Collect vintage frames.
3. Attach fabric to cardboard or backing of frame.
4. Cut number and follow the same pattern

This is an affordable and effective way to put your brand on wedding details.

Supplies:

• Stamp
• Stamp ink
• Small burlap, fabric or paper bags

Instructions:

1. Whether you make the stamp by hand or order it from a site like rubberstamps.net, be sure it is the size you want.
2. Use stamp to personalize bags and thank-you cards.

Another affordable way to add a vintage look to your wedding.

Supplies:

• Cardboard boxes
• Hot glue
• Old books
• X-Acto knife

Instructions:

1. Trace letters for monogram on cardboard and cut out with X-Acto knife.
2. Rip book pages from old books and roll into cone.
3. Pinch the bottoms of the book pages and hot-glue the bottom to cardboard.
4. Continue until you cover the entire letter of the monogram.

Note: Use more book pages for a fuller look.

These multifaceted programs are easy to make, budget-friendly and perfectly embody each couple’s style according to its design. Here, Lace and Likes kept to a simple program list while adding a detailed edge to match the wedding’s theme.

Supplies:

• Card stock
