Trend Alert: Macrame Wedding Styling, Decor & Backdrops!

Macrame has been around for donkey’s ages (ok really since the 70’s) but when Macrame and Weddings meet, they make sweet sweet love and the result is a beautiful bohemian and ridiculously romantic love story that will have all your guests talking. Today I have found you a boat load of sweet ideas that you can either BUY or DIY! But before we start, here a just a few ideas to get your Macrame Wedding groove on….

+ Hang simple plant holders on aisle runner posts / stakes
+ Create glass jar covers and fill with wild flowers for table centerpieces
+ Use a macrame tablecloth to add some wow factor to your signing table
+ Create a macrame wedding ceremony arch (how insane is this one?) to walk through at the beginning of the aisle for a grand entrance
+ Hang a group of macrame plant holders behind the bridal table or around the reception area
+ Hang a beautiful macrame chandelier
+ Create gorgeous bridesmaid gift macrame necklaces using this tutorial
+ Replace the hanging pots with macrame covered glass jars / candles hanging for gorgeous lighting
+ Hang your creations in your home after the wedding or sell on to other brides!

Supplies to make your own can be found at…

And check out some of my favourite You Tube tutorials at the bottom of this post, or search for DIY Macrame Tutorials for loads of different ideas from simple to crazy complicated (but amazing!)

P.S Ask family + friends from the baby boomer generation if they still have something stashed away (it was a trend in their younger years too!)
