Paper snowflake boutonnieres for your wintery budget wedding

You can make your own carnival midway-style illuminated letters
Who knows where my love of midway illuminated lettering comes from, but it’s definitely fed by my addiction to Disneyland. More specifically, the part of the park called “Main Street, USA,” which consists of gift shops and ice cream parlors dressed up to look like an early 20th Century bustling downtown street on speed. Too shiny not to love. But I digress…
Typically an illuminated letter like this is made of metal, is very heavy and would cost you a pretty penny. I knew I wanted something to light up at my wedding, so I figured I’d make my own midway letters. You can too! And there are power tools involved!

These were all achieved in one evening using materials found at a major craft store.
