Inspired by Versailles and the Secret Garden, I hope you fall in love with these dreamy details and feel inspired to make them your own when you see that you can do each one yourself!
I poured my heart and soul into this wedding. I planned, created, and planned some more for over 18 months. This day was everything I could have imagined and more. In all honesty, although I made most of everything myself we still spent quite a bit of money on the venue, food, DJ, and photography. Those were things I knew I could not create by myself and be left feeling proud and happy. So I left those things to the professionals. Literally, everything else was a fair DIY game!
Image 1 of Spray Painted Gold. The cost of premade floral containers is outrageous β even at wholesale prices. If your venue provides them, take advantage of that but my venue only offered shabby chic style floral containers and I wanted the feel to be more like the Garden of Versailles β not a secret garden.
The gold urn style fits the theme! Image 2 of I wished for a full table of sequin overlay but alas, much too expensive. Instead, I went down to Los Angeles Fabric District and picked up 5 yards of this navy blue sequin fabric and cut it into large squares to go on each table.
Now each table has a pop of navy and gold sparkle. Image 3 of My now husband build this giant cross for us to be married in front of. We stained it espresso brown and then attached a few heavy-duty nails to the center. We built the flower arrangements inside an extra large Oasis floral foam cage and just hung them on the hooks.
