Re-purposed Ceremony Elements<\/h2>\n

Take remnants from your wedding dress to trim throw pillow covers<\/strong> (1) or drape a length of lace from your veil over a lampshade<\/strong> (2) for a romantic vintage look. Moreover, you can also use the fabrics of your gown to make your table linens.<\/p>\n

For wall decor, create a lovely framed artwork<\/strong> (6) using a lace appliqu\u00e9 from your bridal gown. Or mount your actual marriage vows as a truly personal art print<\/strong> (9). Wedding ceremony backdrops made of faux flowers can be re-used to make coffee table centerpieces at home.<\/p>\n

Petals from your bouquet can be pressed to decorate a chic serving tray<\/strong> (7), following this DIY tutorial we found. While your flower girl\u2019s basket can have a second life as a charming hand towel caddy<\/strong> (3). You can also have your entire bouquet preserved and placed in a shadow box or frame.<\/p>\n

Reception Items You Can Reuse<\/h2>\n

The topper on your wedding cake can be an actual china teacup<\/strong> (5) that you can use for that daily \u201cspot of tea\u201d at home\u2014recalling your wedding day with every sip. Then, your wedding monogram can find a special spot as wall art<\/strong> (8) in your bedroom. Items that have been engraved from your wedding like champagne flutes and cake knives can also be kept and re-used for special occasions like your wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n

For lighting, wine bottles can be re-purposed as candle holders<\/strong> or filled with fairy string lights<\/strong> (4) for your mantel or window sill. These can also be used as simple centerpieces for a romantic candlelit dinner at home.<\/p>\n

Lovely ideas, and all so doable. Now you can craft your own wedding memento home decor!<\/p>\n
