Wonderful Wacky Wedding Ideas What Work - Imagination Is the Creator

If ever there was a time that the "yippee" emotion kicked in was after logging into Searchwarp to see not only one writing contest, but four. It was the "How to be creative" contest that set the brain into overdrive as to what creations to come up with that would excite and save money. No matter how hard some of us juggle our finances to buy some of life's little pleasures regardless of effort and sacrifices made, it ain't happening. The list of creations is endless for a thriving imagination. If you can imagine you can create.

Instead of paying for an expensive veil or tiara consider creating unique bridal headwear yourself.

1 Take a shoulder pad from an "old" item of clothing; this will be used as the foundation to build upon. Some pads are of awkward shape but you can remedy this by moulding the shape you want. Have whatever accessories you wish to decorate the pad with close to hand. Glue, needle and cotton are all you need along with a little imagination. Cover the pad with lace or plain material. Lace oozes elegance so let us work with that. Once the pad is covered take some stiff lace and scrunch it into layers so that it sits on top (like a cockerel's comb) or around the side, the choice is yours. Soft lace will hang. Take a string of pearls and cut sizes appropriate to make a teardrop shape, then glue together. Once you have the required amount of looped teardrops they can be tacked or glued to the pad. Having them fall over the forehead is pretty. Sequins, rosebuds and mini jewels can be used. Go to a second hand store and pick up a cap or beret if you feel uncomfortable with the pad suggestion. Your creation when finished can be secured with hair clips. Do not use heavy materials or weighty trinkets.

Wedding hats, why pay through the nose when you can buy second hand and decorate accordingly to suit your outfit. For example if you are wearing navy blue and your hat is a plain navy or white boater shape, then decorate the edge where it sits on the head not the actual brim. Find matching material to your outfit or you can use chiffon for this fabulous idea.

2 Cut 3 strips of material of the same length and neatly trim the edges by sewing or gluing. Strips should be long enough to wrap round the skull base. Now cut a line of pearls of the same size. You are now going to braid the material with pearls running through. Secure and tack the 3 material strips at one end and interweave the pearls. The end result will be one long plaited piece of art. Now wrap the braid around the hat and secure with glue. You now have a hat fitting for the occasion or that of ladies day at Ascot. Feathers make fabulous decoration; the peacock is proof of this. Shoes and handbags are very simple to decorate also, if you can imagine then you can create. Once again a tube of glue will fix bows and feathers on to shoes or jewelled menageries. If a glue gun is used be careful because they get very hot.

3 In home décor or venue hall can be decorated by stencilling tables and walls only without the stencilling kit. Save money and create pretty designs using an old lace curtain, paper doilies and a can of spray paint. If you wish to liven up a wall with colour then select the area, wash and let it dry. Pin the curtain or doilies in place and spray all over with the paint. This is a very affective and an original idea that will not hurt the pocket. Use a mask for protection. Make sure the curtain is an old one. Make stunning pictures using this method.

4 Create a fun cake guaranteed to make you laugh as well as lick your lips? This idea is a great money saver. Ever heard of jelly on the plate then how about jelly is the cake, yes that's right the wobbly sort. No in-depth recipe for this simple quick and yummy wobbler. Whatever the celebration where guests sit at a table have the jelly cake (disguised with cream and chocolate sprinkles) located in the middle. Inform the guests that they are about to get their just desserts so as to speak (dessert). Make a specific time for the cutting of the cake. If there is to be separate tables then arrange for a cake on each one. Watch every ones expression when the knife is used.

5 If in the case of an emergency should the best man forget the wedding bands have a coca cola can easily to hand and use the ring pull or seek out a curtain ring, or, worst case scenario if the bridegroom after his booze up the night before forgets to put his shoes on – then gloss the feet with boot polish. If you do not have many friends and feel embarrassed because your wedding guest list is near to non existent – then this is easily remedied by having wall to wall mirrors. This will make it look like you have friends in abundance, who later into the night after a belly full of beer will think they are seeing double or funnier still have a conversation with themselves.

6 On a more serious not why not create a new you, that is, if you are unhappy with how you look. If you carry weight and are unhappy, then diet. If you are unhappy with the shade of lipstick you wear then change it. If you are unhappy with the colour of your hair then dye it.  You will be surprised how little changes like these can contribute to you being "HAPPY".
