When planning a summer wedding ceremony, a mid-morning or early afternoon ritual, a beach or countryside aperitif, and cake cutting under the sweet serenade of cicadas are all part of the celebration.
Wedding fans can serve as both chic and functional decorations for your special day. In this article, we will discuss how to incorporate them into your wedding decor.
How to Decorate Wedding Fans?: All the Options
Wedding fans can be purchased online or at stores specializing in party decorations. While they may be simple and basic in design, there are various ways to customize them.
A simple yet effective way to instantly incorporate wedding fans into your event is to embellish them with elements from your wedding's graphic theme. This is perfect if you have a logo, names, symbols, or distinct colors for your celebration. Consider printing these details on a cardboard cord to wrap around the base of the fans or directly engraving them onto the wood.
For example, creating beautiful wedding fans with initials could be a charming touch.
DIY Wedding Fans: Here's How?
For those skilled in handcrafts and interested in a handmade touch, here are some simple instructions for creating paper wedding fans:
- Purchase popsicle sticks or small wooden sticks.
- Use hot glue or double-sided tape to attach a custom square cardboard piece with your names, date, or a romantic quote to the top of the stick.
This way, guests can hold the fan by the stick and use the cardboard to fan themselves.
The simplest version of these DIY paper wedding fans involves printing on rigid cardboard of any shape without the insertion of a stick.
The weight of the paper is essential for the fan to function properly; opt for roughly 250g/m2 rough paper. You can punch a hole at the bottom with a puncher and add a colored ribbon for both decoration and practicality, allowing guests to hold the fan easily and reducing the chance of losing it.
By personalizing wedding fans, you can add a unique touch to your big day. These fans will not only keep your guests cool but also enhance the overall aesthetic of your wedding celebration.
