MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR WEDDING DAY!!!

Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life. Naturally, you want it to be perfect, a day you will always remember. You can have the wedding of your dreams without spending a fortune if you have a little time, a little help, and enjoy being creative.

Everyone is searching for ways to save money these days and one of the least costly ways to decorate the church and reception hall is to use crepe paper and tissue paper. These are versatile, inexpensive materials that provide color and elegance. Plus, with all the variety available you'll be able to find the perfect combination to make your wedding day an occasion people will be talking about for years!

You'll find that tissue paper and crepe paper both come in many different colors and patterns and you can even get shiny metallic tissue paper. These new colors and prints are ideal for making a variety of decorations and for use at the tables during your reception.

Crepe paper can be used for streamers on glittery tissue paper flowers affixed to the ends of the pews. You'll be surrounded by beautiful flowers during your walk down the aisle and best of all you won't have an exorbitant floral bill. These flowers can be made quickly, as big or as small as you wish, and clean up after the ceremony is fast and easy. Tissue paper flowers can be used for the altar, too, and crepe paper ribbons around the vases you put them in will make them look elegant and realistic.

Some spring wreaths will also look beautiful in the church and reception venue. You can make them using Styrofoam forms or woven forms available at craft stores. Cover them with crepe paper in the colors of your choice and decorate them with tissue paper leaves and flowers. If you're getting married close to Christmas you can make them green and red and use some real pine scraps to make them festive.

In the reception hall you will want to fashion some attractive centerpieces for the tables your guests will be sitting at. You might want to fill inexpensive, shallow glass bowls with tissue paper and insert some tissue paper flowers. You can make tissue paper butterflies, winsome penguins, or hearts to decorate your tables. Making these centerpieces is a fun activity for you and your bridesmaids or younger children that might be taking part in the wedding; the work will be fun and they will know that they are really helping to make your wedding day a fabulous memory. If this is your second marriage and there are children involved, this is a wonderful way to spend some quality time together as a family and make the children feel as if they are truly part of your wedding.

In fact, making your own church and reception venue decorations can be an event in itself. You can easily do all this in a few hours with enough helping hands; hold a crafting party and have fun with it!
