Check Out Garland with Letters by Material ♡

One of the classic wedding items, garlands with letters ♡

The phrase 〔JUST MARRIED〕 is the standard, right?＊

Such garlands with letters are not only great as props for pre-wedding photos

but also play a significant role in welcome spaces and high table decorations!

They are a staple item for brides who enjoy DIY, so many brides make them in their own style ♡

But what materials are people using to make garlands?＊

In this article, we will introduce the differences in garland designs focusing on materials!

Garland by Material ① Paper

The most classic and easy-to-make material is paper!

Many brides seem to print the letters＊

The black "JUST MARRIED" text on white paper, with a red heart as an accent, is adorable, isn't it? ♩

Garland by Material ② Balloons

I discovered brides using balloons to create garlands ♡

When fluffy balloons are made into a garland, it creates a very festive atmosphere＊

Taking pre-wedding photos using perspective like in the picture looks cute!

Garland by Material ③ Fabric

Fabric is also a classic material for garlands＊

However, just a single piece of fluttering fabric may get blown in the wind during location shoots...

Therefore, many brides seem to use thick fabric or layer the fabric to DIY ♩

Garland by Material ④ Alphabet Objects

The idea of attaching alphabet objects to a string to make a garland is lovely too＊

By the way, this piece can be purchased at Natural Kitchen ◎

Its soft atmosphere makes it even cuter when surrounded by flowers ♡

Garland by Material ⑤ Origami

Brides having a Japanese-style wedding often have a traditional "We got married" garland ♡

Such a Japanese-style garland is usually made by folding origami or washi paper into paper fans and layering letters on top ♩

You can see how to create the pleats (paper fans) of the origami part in this article＊

Garland by Material ⑥ Lace Paper

Here’s an idea using lace paper that can be found at 100 yen shops to make garlands＊

The size of the lace paper is just perfect for one letter of the garland, isn't it? ♩

It's wonderful how colorful arrangements are made by placing origami behind the white lace paper!

Garland by Material ⑦ Twigs

The last material introduced for garlands is twigs!

Some brides go to parks to collect them one by one, while others seem to gather them at home improvement stores＊

The natural feel unique to wood would look amazing when decorated at a garden wedding ♩
