Review by Library Journal Review
Handmade wedding decor adds a personalized touch to a festive occasion. This collection of projects demonstrates that wedding crafts can be sophisticated and easy to make. The emphasis is on florals and nature-inspired decor, including leaves, butterflies, wisteria, roses, and daisies constructed from an assortment of materials (tissue paper, coffee filters, recycled books), and incorporated into everything from table toppers to a groom's boutonniere to a bridal bouquet. While most are nature-themed, there are a few outlier projects, including a midcentury modern-style paper ball backdrop, a music-themed centerpiece, and a starburst wedding cake topper cut from white cardstock and embellished with a touch of glitter. The directions are easy to follow, with line drawings illustrating key steps and a host of crafting tips for additional insight into the process. Few, if any, specialized tools are needed, and basic scissors-and-glue-gun skills will suffice for most of the projects, making them beginner friendly. VERDICT Wedding crafts are a consistently popular category, and the projects here will draw in couples who delight in handmade floral decor. © Copyright 2016.
