The Look for Less: Valentine's Day Wedding

Valentine's Day is around the corner. Hopefully you get more than a box of chocolates and flowers this Valentine's Day. Something sparkly, like an engagement ring:) If so, and you wish to recreate the memory of that special day by having a Valentine's Wedding Theme you came to the right place.  When you think Valentine's Day, you usually think of roses. While I'm not a huge fan of roses mostly because they are overpriced and eventually whither away, I was inspired by them to create your Look for Less: Valentine's Day Reception Decor.

Love all these DIY projects. Before you get attached and obsessed with these decorations, I must warn you they are labor intense...confession from the bride herself. But if you have the time or enough friends to take advantage of, I would definitely go for this. Makes such a dramatic statment.

Absolutely love the roses hanging from the tree. You can spray paint a bunch of branches white to recreate this look. Remember to save money use silk roses. You can use your choice of flower if you  prefer not to use roses.

So in search of an affordable way to create the romantic scenery of hanging roses, I took notice that you can create the Look for Less by following this tutorial to make your roses or you can always buy at the Dollar store, Oriental Trading ($5.00/dozen)or Amazon. Head on over to the House of the Smiths where this awesome step by step tutorial is featured, along with other DIY projects. Warning: the DIY section of this site is very addicting:)
