Jewelry Care 101: Keeping Your Treasures Shining
12 Alternative Altars
Many of you that have had a church wedding will be aware of the traditional altar but with outdoor weddings becoming evermore popular it is now possible to experiment a little with the altar in order to make it fit with the style of your day…
♥ A simple wooden or wicker altar can be adorned by bunches of flowers and strings of pearls and crystals
♥ We also thought what an amzing idea it would be to build your own altar that can be easily transferred to the garden in your new marital home as a reminder of your special day
♥ Flowers and foliage from your own garden can be a perfect touch when creating a handmade altar
♥ Brighten your altar up with a colourful flower such as this sunflower covered altar
♥ Trees such as these birch are simple yet extremely effective in making an all white room become a dramatic backdrop for a ceremony
♥ The idea of creating a completely new altar had us in a tiz, these doors carry a wonderful metaphor of opening up a new chapter in a couples life
♥ Be bold and create an arch adorned with handmade fabric flowers
♥ Who said an altar had to be in the shape of an arch?
♥ Odd shaped tree branches can provide the perfect frame for an altar embellished in lace and other beautiful fabrics
♥ We earlier mentioned handmade fabric flowers are a perfect way of personalising your arch but how about making handmade paper pom poms …
♥ …Kites and flags…
♥ …or even crepe paper to create a arch with a midummer feel.
We hope our list of our favourite altars has inspired you to create your own handmade altar. If you made your own altar please share with us your photos, tips and tricks, we would love to hear from you.
Much Bespoke Love

Love the odd shaped tree branch one! The sunflowers are also fun with the bright yellow.
