Ribbons are the first thing that comes to mind when you think about crafts, gift wrap, and things you used to tie in your hair as a little girl… but what about weddings? Recently, different ways to use ribbons have been popping up all over the blogs and magazines. They are an inexpensive, mostly simple way to express your personality in your decor, and the opportunities to customize are endless! So as you read on, re-think those old spools of craft ribbons in your gift wrap closet and how they can inspire you to create something new.
1. Inspired by an Anthropologie floor set, a gorgeous cascade of paper ribbons creates the perfect backdrop for a rustic or empty-looking venue. Oh, yeah, and that’s a DIY made from receipt tape by the way.

3. Streamers of long ribbons act as candy colored curtains to emphasize the sweetness of your dessert table even further. {source}

4. To save money on table linens without skimping on style, just buy an assortment of craft ribbons to match your style and colors and you’ve got a gorgeous table runner. No ‘table linens’ needed. {source} |

5. A few simple loops and twists through the back of a plain, wooden chair… and Viola! Gorgeous. |

9. Let’s not forget the shoes! With the ribbon-bow detail, these plain white pumps are made into the perfect wedding shoe. Ideal for a bride wearing a dress of a shorter length.

10. This adorable DIY ring pillow’s main focus is the text, but that little contrast of a red ribbon adds so much to it. (See source for how-to.)
