I’ve always had a soft spot for all things kraft paper and any lookalikes. Who knew there were so many ways you could incorporate it into your wedding beyond the expected favor bag?! Besides it being the perfect addition to almost any wedding style from shabby chic to modern, it’s easy on the wallet. Score. So, I did a little research to find out just how many ways brides and grooms are getting creative out there. Here are a few of my favorites. – Lauren

How would you incorporate kraft paper into your wedding day?
I used a small heart hole punch and made heart shaped confetti for my wedding invitations from the salmon pink margins of the Financial Times newspaper that my Dad always had around! The color was perfect for the invitations I made!
Love how these add a laid-back quality to an event!

What wonderful ideas to utilize for DIY projects. I love the bag wrapped around the bread, it seems like such an obvious choice, but I never thought of it!
