Gorgeous Classic Wedding

by

Have a look at this gorgeous and classic wedding of Belinda & Michael. The bride wanted her wedding to be a classic one, with lots of flowers, green and candles. If you are looking for an elegant and classic wedding arrangement, you can definitely take some amazing ideas from here. Most of the decors from this wedding can be recreated easily in a budget. Belinda & Michael’s wedding photographs can surely hit all the crafty people with lots and lots of fun and classic craft ideas.

White candles in clear glass candle holders are very classic and we are loving these! You can use left over clear glass vases, jars and glasses to recreate this. add your own twist for a variation.

Face photo props are very popular these days. You can create, customize your own face photo props, print them out, cut them nicely and done! Face photo props can bring life and fun to any event! So, never forget to keep them in your wedding list.

Don’t these standing letter decors look stunning? Another classic piece which can be DIY’ed! You can customize your own letter style by using cardboard and covering the outer side with duct tape do prevent leakage. Mix 60:40 white cement and sand with enough water (not too thin nor too thick), pour the mixture into the mould, wait for 24 hours and you will have a lovely piece of standing letter, handmade with love! If you want a little touch of gold, just sprinkle the letters with golden dust or use a toothbrush to spray golden paint on them!

Flowers! White roses are a must for a classic and elegant wedding. In case you’re a crazy crafter and want to keep a wedding bouquet forever, you can make your own white roses from craft tissue paper or crepe paper.

Okay, enough with all the craftiness, let’s have a look at some of the photographs of this classic wedding

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
