Fabulously Frugal Fridays {Western NC Wedding Photographer}

Hey friends! I am going to start a new weekly series called, Fabulously Frugal Fridays. I'm hoping I can keep up with this. I always love doing things on a budget and being able to decorate with DIY awesomeness. Today's post is going to be all about DIY wedding decor, heck, you could even use these in your home for pretty and unique decor. But for you brides who are on a tight budgets, these are very affordable ways to make your wedding/reception beautiful and memorable!

This first one I think is so adorable and unique, and guess what, I found a step by step tutorial for how to make these. Check out the tutorial from Free People Blog. I think this would be amazing for a rustic wedding, just fill it with simple little flowers like daisies, baby's breath, forget-me-nots, whatever your heart so desires. I definitely think these would be a conversation piece at your wedding.

In case you haven't noticed, I love simple and rustic decorations. :) I saw something similar to this idea on pinterest. This one is so easy that it can even be a craft for you and your kiddos. Just take any tin can (save those cans that your canned vegetables came in). Clean off all the packaging, then you can decorate the can however you want. Think, twine, lace, paint, etc. You could even turn these into candle holders. just paint the can and poke unique decorations in the can and place a tea light in the can. So pretty for an evening wedding or reception. I loved all the ideas that This Nest is Best had for tin cans. Go check it out! It also got me thinking about other sweet ideas for simple centerpieces like unique coffee cups or glass milk bottles used as vases. The possibilities are endless.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these frugal tips today. Tune back in next Friday for more fun tips! For now follow me on pinterest or facebook for more ideas and to stay up to date with special offers!

Much love,
