** DIY Project ** Shabby Chic Table Plan

Last week I posted the beautiful shabby chic wedding of Charlie and Marcus which, as you might have guessed, I absolutely loved.  And lots of you guys mentioned to me how much you loved it as well.  So, today I have a special treat for you….

Charlie has kindly agreed to share how she put together this fabulous table plan:

Here’s your set-by-step guide.  Get your best DIY hands at the ready, and off we go….

♥ Rip pages out of some old books and tea stain them

♥ Stick the pages onto a board big enough for behind your chosen frame

♥ Layer small doilies on top of the tea stained paper

♥ Place some bunting across the top (Charlie used a sample of some bunting her cousin made for the wedding)

♥ Place tiny Mr and Mrs lettering over the bunting (Charlie used lettering purchased in Brighton, but you could make your own using stencils and card)

♥ Layer up with corsage flower decorations (Charlie got hers from places like Primark, Sainburys and H&M).

♥ For each table print all the names onto cream card and rip them so they are separated

♥ Mount the printed names onto some burgandy and cream card (or the colours of your choice)

♥ Charlie also added flowers on wire (also bought from Brighton) to decorate around the frame  and made some miniscule bunting using a needle and thread, and tiny triangle shapes in different colours, then drapped it around the flowers around the outside.

And hey presto – you too could have your very own beautiful shabby chic table plan!  Hands up, who is going to be having a go at this?!

Thanks Charlie for giving us the know how – and if you like this and you haven’t already seen the report on the whole wedding, you definitely need to.  Take a look here.

Love, Aphrodite x
