WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR DIY WEDDING WELCOME SIGN

Gathering all the supplies for your wedding sign décor is the first step. What you'll need for this craft is as follows:

• 1 Designer Flower Box 
•  2 Eucalyptus and Willow Leaf Greenery Garlands (6.5ft) 
•  Floral Wires 
•  A welcome sign of your choice 
•  Pliers

To create this beautiful DIY wedding sign decoration, we used a designer flower box in dusty blue and navy. You can also make your own using different colors from our designer palettes.

HOW TO MAKE A DIY WEDDING WELCOME SIGN

Whether your wedding is traditional or trendy, our 5-step guide will help you create beautiful sign decor to match your theme. This vibrant, rich, and floral DIY wedding welcome décor would benefit any signage.

We have the tutorial; you have the creative spirit. Here are five simple steps to build a homemade wedding welcome sign.

STEP 1. CUT THE GARLAND

Let's start by removing one long cane and untangling the greenery garland. Next, trim the garland into more manageable pieces. Two pieces of ¼ and four pieces of Ⅻ are your objectives.

STEP 2. CREATE A BEAUTIFUL BASE

Take another long cane and attach the newly manufactured short canes from top to bottom to prepare the base.

The floral wire will be used to secure the canes. Attach each cut piece to the other longer canes using tape. Keep in mind that each flower arrangement attachment point will have many wires. Your do-it-yourself project might appear disorganized now, but don't worry—we're not done yet.

STEP 3. ADORN WITH FLOWERS

Adding the flowers is the exciting part now!

Arrange most blooms (about 5–6) to the second attachment point on the garland and use a hot glue gun to secure them.

STEP 4. ADD IN MORE FLOWERS

To make the garland look more realistic, add 2-3 artificial flowers to cover the attachment points.

STEP 5. PERSONALIZE YOUR WEDDING SIGN

Complete the flower garland by adding as many decorations from Ling's creative flower box set as you desire.

Here's another tutorial stage where you can use your imagination to incorporate your wedding theme. Be bold and play around with your sign; add more flowers, add shells for a tropical wedding, or even weave some twine in for a rustic ceremony.

Any wedding decor may be easily personalized and customized with Ling's Moment. You can customize the garland's size, add additional accents like lights or ribbons, or select from a variety of artificial flowers and greenery from our collections made by our designers.

 ALL DONE!

You've finished your do-it-yourself project. You now have a lovely welcome sign for your wedding that is entirely personalized! Continue reading for answers to frequently asked questions and a few additional pointers.

HOW DO YOU PUT FLOWERS ON A WEDDING SIGN?

How do you put flowers on a welcome sign for a wedding? This can be accomplished in a few simple ways! These are our best recommendations:

Pins for boutonnieres. These pins are sturdy and may be used for crafts. You can use them to add flowers or light floral swag to your wedding welcome sign. 

Warm adhesive. You may have just discovered the most straightforward solution if you've been attempting to figure out how to glue fake flowers to a wooden sign.

Hooks for commands. Attach command hooks to your welcome sign to hang ribbons, cloth, or other tiny fabric embellishments. Command hooks are readily available at most dollar or hobby stores.

Pins made of metal. Use the metal pegs designed especially for tiny, light artwork to hang on the walls.

WHAT IS THE BEST MATERIAL FOR WEDDING SIGNS?

You have choices of materials you can use to make your own DIY welcome wedding sign. Take into account these options for your signage:

Wood. Wood is used not only for rustic weddings, but also for other occasions where it pairs well. Among the many benefits of a wooden wedding sign are its longevity and its recyclable or biodegradable nature. We also adore the timeless and sturdy vibe that wood evokes.

Foam-filled boards. They are not only easily found but reasonably priced, lightweight, strong, and fully adjustable.

Acrylic. More resilient than glass, acrylic (Plexiglass) is a stiff, plastic-like substance that is lightweight and weatherproof. This is typically the most costly option for a welcome wedding sign. 

Mirrors. Mirrored wedding signs have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their heirloom-like, vintage vibe. Remember that the writing may occasionally be challenging when selecting a mirror. However, you can always address this by adding an opaque element—for example, writing your message on paper.

HOW CAN I REPURPOSE MY WEDDING SIGNS?

You're not alone if you're thinking of reusing your wedding sign! Who wouldn't wish to utilize a component again from one of their most treasured days? Here are some suggestions for repurposing your welcome sign—or any sign—for your wedding:

Artwork for walls. Putting a frame around your homemade wedding signs is one of the simplest ways to use them as wall décor. Anywhere in the house, utilize the frame as an artistic focal point or added to a gallery wall.

décor for the entryway. You may recycle your welcome signs for your entryway if you don't use dates on them.

Other happenings. Repurpose your wedding signage for other love-themed occasions, such as an anniversary or Valentine's Day. On their fifth wedding anniversary, many couples follow the tradition of giving gifts made of wood.
