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

Designer Spotlight: TesLime Cross Stitch

If your cross stitch tastes run to anime, fantasy, Disney, gnomes and the like, you’ll want to check out TesLime Cross Stitch on Etsy. This Dublin-based Etsy shop boasts more than 1,000 cross stitch patterns, with a strong pop culture bent.

The largest category in the shop is Disney, and there’s a separate Disney princess category, so there’s nearly 300 Disney themed cross stitch patterns in all. Some of these are chibis but a lot of them are pretty direct copies of Disney characters. Do with that what you will.

There’s also a large fantasy section that’s heavy on Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, dragons, aliens and trolls. In the hero section you’ll find Star Wars, Harley Quinn and the Joker, the Avatar, and Marvel characters. And in anime, there’s lots of Pokemon, Attack on Titan and Ghibli-inspired designs, to name a few.

The thing that caught my eye in this shop wasn’t any of that, though. It was sardines.

There are actually several different patterns in this shop of cans of sardines. I don’t really know why, but they’re just so weird and silly that’s what I had to share. In particular this one, where the little fish are wearing little shirts. Why? Again, I don’t know, but it’s kind of cute, right?

This design is 100 by 130 stitches and uses 21 colors. It comes out to 7.14 by 9.29 inches, or 18.14 by 23.59 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric (the pattern includes measurements for some other counts, too, if you want to make it smaller).

And all of that barely scratches the surface. There are more than 100 Christmas cross stitch patterns (these are heavy on Disney, too). A steampunk raven. A large collection of gnomes.

I think you’re just going to have to go check it out for yourself and see what strikes you. If you end up buying one of their patterns, I’d love to hear what you chose! Check them out at www.etsy.com/shop/TesLimeArt on Etsy.
