Wedding accessories make the celebration special. A holiday becomes personal thanks to simple details that you can often do yourself without spending a lot of money. One of them will be discussed further. We make a box for money for a wedding with our own hands.

Treasury shape

This chest is a modern and stylish way to store money that was presented to the bride and groom. Such a wedding accessory is very practical and at the same time pleasing to the eye. In the future, it can be used as a family piggy bank. In the meantime, he will get rid of antediluvian stockings, like at grandmother's weddings, and will not spoil the image of the groom with envelopes sticking out of his pockets. In addition, they constantly fly out and fall to the floor, which is not very convenient.

The round wedding money box is not very popular. Much more often, a square shape is chosen, adopted in the classic design of gifts, or a rectangular shape in the form of a chest.

Materials for a wedding chest

From what canmake your own money box for a wedding? There are several options:

1. Regular shoe box.
2. Cardboard (but in this case there should be a lot of it).
3. Whatman.
4. If you wish, you can buy a ready-made wooden chest and decorate it in a wedding style, for example, hang a cardboard lock in the shape of a heart with the initials of the newlyweds.

Decoration

Wedding is the birth of a new family. A symbol of love, fidelity of two people, and the purity of the bride. The following elements are used to decorate the wedding treasury:

• ribbons;
• lace;
• rhinestones;
• tulle;
• organza.

As for the shades, they should be pastel so as not to overshadow the bride's white outfit. Usually there are colors in the design:

• blue;
• white;
• pink;
• beige;
• cream;
• red for wedding decoration in Slavic style. In this case, the svetovit sign can be applied to the treasury. In the old days, he was often depicted on household utensils so that there would be prosperity in the house.

"Lazy" chest

This design of the wedding treasury is perfect for those who do not know how or do not like to work with paper and other materials, or if there is a minimum of time left for preparation. All you have to do is go to a gift shop or a special packaging department and purchase a beautiful gift box there. The only condition is that you need to choose the color of the future chest that will be present in the interiorcelebrations. At home, all that remains is to remove the lid of the box, make a hole in it for envelopes and close the box back, that's all.

Cardboard box

This option is a little more complicated than the previous ones, but making such a chest is much more fun. For this we need:

1. The bottom of a cardboard shoe box.
2. Scotch.
3. Scissors.
4. Whatman sheet or cardboard.
5. A clerical knife will not be superfluous either.
6. Decorative elements of your choice: ribbons, lace, ruffles, rhinestones and so on. It all depends on the creative imagination of the young.

Now that the materials have been determined, we can move on to crafting:

1. First you need to make the dome of the future wedding treasury. To make it work, a sheet of cardboard or whatman paper is attached from longer sides. As a result, you should get a cap in the shape of an arc. It is recommended to use cardboard and paper together.
2. Measure the sides. Cut out the cardboard side walls and attach to the blank.
3. Punch a hole in the arched lid for envelopes and banknotes.
4. Make a small cut on the side of the lid so that it can be opened.
5. Bottom of the door, make a hole through the bottom of the door with a clerical knife.
6. Another such hole must be made in the side of the cover in the area of its fastening.
7. The wedding treasury is almost ready. It remains only to decorate it beautifully. It is best to paste over our treasury with a cloth. If not, replace with colored paper. Do not forget that the weddingthe accessory should be decorated not only from the outside, but also inside. The fabric or paper is secured with tape or glue.
8. The hole into which the guests will drop money for the young is wrapped around the edging. It is best to choose white for this purpose. The edging of the lower part is done with a satin ribbon. Remember the two through holes at the bottom and side of the lid? Pass a thin ribbon through them. On the outside of the treasury, fasten decorative elements to your liking.

A few more words about decorations

Ribbons and rhinestones, lace - all these are not mandatory components of the wedding treasury. Show your creative imagination. On the cap, you can write the initials of the young or their names. Think, maybe there is something that both of you like and unite, and what element can express it. This approach will add originality. Look at the photo below, how originally and simply the newlyweds decorated the wedding treasury at the European celebration.

With the hit TV series Vikings and Game of Thrones, many couples wanted to make their wedding celebrations their style. The costumes of the newlyweds are designed in the style of cosplay for their favorite characters, and themes from the series prevail in the style of the celebration. For example: wedding invitations in the style of the coat of arms of the beloved house of Lannister, Starks, Targaryens and others. If this is chosentheme, the treasury for the wedding should be appropriate - made of wood or decorated with a tree. Like the photo below.

In the hall, such a chest for money will not look too appropriate. This is an option for a country style wedding.

For lovers of minimalism

• After the box is dry, fasten a white or cream-colored satin ribbon to it. You can attach a pink one, collecting it in the form of a flower.
