This is The Little Canopy’s signature handmade paper flower wedding backdrop!  It’s 9 feet wide by 18 feet tall, and it has about 600 handmade paper flowers on a fabric.  The variety of flower shapes and sizes gives it much depth and texture, and the lighting that’s shooting from below and above give its dramatic finish.  It took about 4-6 weeks to make since I only had after 5pm and the weekend to work on, and probably about 20 bags of hot glue sticks.  You can find it in my etsy shop.  Unfortunately since it’s so big I don’t have a shipping method for this, so it’ll have to be picked up in Atlanta, or you can buy the DIY listing where I ship out the flowers + fabric and you have to glue them yourself.  Anyways I thought I’d dedicate this post to brides who would like to make themselves a handmade paper flower backdrop and find some useful tutorials.  A lot of it is improvising, cutting petals in different shapes using the tutorials below, and just lots and lots of gluing!  If you have paper scrap left over, cut it into a leaf shape and glue it at the bottom too.

Today I have collected the cutest, artsy vintage wedding invitations from Minted.com. They have everything from save-the-date cards, wedding invitations, RSVP cards, bridal shower invitations, menu cards, place card, etc. And even stationery for events other than wedding. Hope you enjoy!

Handmade wedding invitations and stationery can be fun and very affordable.  And what’s the most important factor for a successful handmade wedding invitations? FONTS.  Fonts alone can tell a theme, story, image, and a lot of logos are based on fonts.

It took me a while to put this together… but here it is! FREE 40 wedding fonts for DIY Weddingers from dafont.com.  Remember although most of them are free for personal use, make sure to read their policy.  Some of them are donationware, so if you can spare a few bucks for the author I’m sure it’ll be much appreciated.

I’ll try to update more fonts from other font websites down the road.  These are all from dafont.com
