Craft & Hobbies

With Handmade Wedding Crafts, you can create beautiful items at a fraction of the cost of buying new, often in a far more environmentally-friendly way and all with a vintage flair. Betty Bee's 35 step-by-step projects show you how to make your bouquet, centrepieces, invitations, favours and more. Each chapter covers a different theme, so you can stick to one or mix and match. Incorporate some 1920s chic into your wedding with 'Jazz Baby Bride' - with a feather boa fascinator and vintage brooch corsage. Head to the 'Fabulous Fifties' chapter for a vintage plate cake stand and bundles of bunting for postwar-inspired prettiness. For shabby chic style with a nostalgic twist, try 'French Fancies', with a birdcage wedding card mail box and perfect lace parasol. Finally, discover ideas that are a little quirkier in Modern Retro - from felt flower table decorations to a distressed crate flower holder. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a celebration for hundreds of guests, Handmade Wedding Crafts is packed with original ideas that you will love to make.
