I’ve mentioned before how much I love DIY decor at weddings and have gone on at length about what a fantastically cost-effective way of making your surroundings special it is, so I won’t do it again now. What I will do is suggest that you go and check out this easy pattern from Once Wed, which shows you how to whip up a lovely garland made from fresh flowers and paper cut-out birds. I think this would look charming at a small, summer wedding, draped over an entryway or even as part of an alter. [Via Crafty Crafty]
