10 Cricut Tips & Tricks to get started with HTV Wedding Crafts

Bride Society Leave a comment

(Aka Heat Transfer Vinyl or Iron-On Vinyl)

How to get great results on your Cricut projects everytime with iron-on vinyl!

***

You’re excited for your wedding (congratulations on your engagement by the way) and decided to get hands-on.  You’ve run out and bought a Cricut (congrats on that too!  Soooo wish I’d had mine back when I got married!).  It’s sitting in your spare room, all pretty and new, with endless possibilities and potential.  Your mind is brimming with ideas for all the beautiful things you’re going to make for your wedding…but how do you actually use it?

Some things are simple, straightforward, even intuitive, but there is also a definite learning curve with Cricut.  Not everything is super obvious – but don’t worry, that’s ok.  Knowing that a lot of people start out with Cricut for their weddings, we got to creating a whole stack of Cricut tutorials demonstrating step-by-step how to create basically anything you can think of for your wedding (we’ll also take video requests if you can’t find what you’re looking for!).  You can find that YouTube playlist right here by the way!

And whilst there’s already that wealth of information ready and waiting for you on our YouTube channel, we thought we’d specifically create a video to round up some of the essential and nuanced tips for a certain genre of Cricut crafts – working with iron-on vinyl (also known as Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)) – to help get you going quickly with your chosen project.  These are the big, and small, things I learnt along the way that really make all the difference to the success or failure of an iron-on Cricut project.  Let’s jump you to the top of that learning curve…

Watch on YouTube

We hope these 10 tips give you the confidence to try out that iron-on project you’ve been wanting to make, and that it comes out as well as you imagined.  If you’ve got any follow up questions from today’s video, or if you’ve tried something and can’t work out where it’s going wrong, let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to help.  Don’t forget, for more in-depth beginner Cricut content, using iron-on vinyl and beyond, you can find them all in one handy playlist over on YouTube.

What are you making with your HTV?  Tag us in your photos over on Instagram @bridesociety_uk, we’d love to see!

How to include the Mother of the Bride in your Wedding

Bride Society Leave a comment

The role and duties of the MOTB, and other ways to include her in your special day

***

You’re busy planning one of the biggest days of your life, when you realise, there aren’t actually many significant moments or roles just for your Mum, which seems odd, right?  Traditionally in the UK, Dad’s get quite a few key moments…there’s the walking you down the aisle, giving you away, his name on the marriage schedule, the FOTB speech, father-daughter dance…but what about Mum?

A lot of these traditions are obviously a holdover from when marriage was an exchange of property, your father was literally handing you – his property – over to your future spouse.  And whilst we’ve gladly moved a long way from the origin of these traditions, we perhaps haven’t done the best job of creating new, more inclusive ones. 

We’re not saying these traditions need to be abolished, if your father is significant in your life then of course it still makes sense for him to participate in key moments of your big day.  If you like some of the traditions or indeed all of them, keep them simply for the desire of having your Dad / father-figure involved, it doesn’t matter how they came into being.  Though what we are here to say is that they are traditions, not rules, you can do things differently if you want to.  YOU DO YOU!

Your Mum could of course take on the roles that historically would have been that of a father-figure, or indeed share them – they can BOTH walk you down the aisle (if it’s wide enough!), but if you want to maintain the traditional duties for your father, or even if you’d rather abolish any remnants of the idea you are someone’s property altogether, there’s still a whole host of meaningful ways to include your Mum (and Dad!). 

In today’s YouTube video, we’ll highlight those traditional ways the MOTB is already included throughout the wedding planning process as well as on the day itself, just in case you’re worried you’ve missed something, before we dive in deep to those other ideas, all significant in meaning but vary from showy to subtle, so you can pick and choose based on her personality, your type of wedding and your relationship with her.

If you’re here looking for ideas on how to include a lost loved one in your wedding day, we’ve focussed on this in a separate video, which you can find here, we hope you’ll find it helpful: https://youtu.be/wX6CgVi-YJI

Which ideas do you like for your Mum?  Is there anything else you’re doing that we didn’t mention?  Drop them in the comments to help out our other readers!

2025 Wedding Trends

Bride Society Leave a comment

As we’re hurtling towards the end of the year at an alarming rate (August was blink and you miss it) we have been putting our heads together for one of our favourite annual videos, the 2025 Trends video! Year on year it’s so interesting to see what trends have stuck around and what completely new concepts have exploded on to the wedding scene.

And while we love to share the popular wedding trends, it is also worth remembering that just because something’s popular, and a trend, it doesn’t mean you have to have it in your wedding. Weddings should be personal and reflect you as a couple, if the trends we’re sharing don’t align with you, then don’t include them!

An overarching theme of this year’s trends video is all about capturing content. Whether that’s the continuation of the rise of wedding day content creators, magazine photo boxes or audio guestbooks, couples are choosing to capture memories on their big day in lots of different ways. We’re chatting about all those and many more trends for the upcoming year.

Do you agree with our trend predictions? Have you noticed any other trends you think we’ve completely missed for 2025? And are you featuring anything we’ve mentioned in your own wedding? Let us know in the comments below!

Thanks for watching!  Looking for more content from Bride Society?  Join us in all of these places:

DIY Flower Box Wedding Welcome Sign Tutorial

Bride Society Leave a comment

Since they exploded on to the wedding scene a couple of years ago, we’ve been big fans of the flower box wedding welcome sign. Easy to personalise to suit the theme and style of the occasion with different colours, flowers, writing, we thought it was about time we had a go at making one! And now we’re showing you how to as well!

Equipment used:

  • Electric drill & drill bits
  • Ruler & pencil
  • Wood pieces
  • Hinges x 2
  • Screws
  • (Paint & flowers to decorate)

The dimensions and type of wood we’ve used are to give you an idea for you to make your own. The method will work with whatever size and type of wood you choose. Just make sure you choose the right size screws for the thickness of wood.

Approx. dimensions of wood used in the video:

  • Main pieces 60cm x 45cm x 18mm MDF
  • Front of box 45cm x 12cm x 18mm MDF
  • Ends of box 12cm x 11cm x 18mm MDF
  • Base of box 45cm x 12.8cm x 6mm MDF
  • Hinges approx 7cm in length
  • Screws of appropriate length for wood thickness. 

***

Method: (To be used in conjunction with watching the video)
Assembling the A-Board Sign:

Mark out the position of the hinges at the top of the first board. We put them 3cm in from each edge, mounted on the underneath of the board. The round section of the hinge should protrude above the board. 

Mark the holes for drilling.

Pilot drill the hinge holes most of the way through. The drill bit size should be the thickness of the screw shank (the thickness less the amount of thread).

Attach the hinge with the screws.

Offer up the other side of the A Board and mark out as you did before. Remember the rounded section of the hinge should sit in the gap in between the two boards and again should be mounted underneath. 
Repeat the method above to attach the two parts of the A Board together. 


To assemble the flower box: (Starts at 2mins 13secs)

Start by marking the position of the screw holes into the long front of the box. We used the short ends to draw around, then finding the centre and marking the drill holes 3cm in at each end. 

Drill clearance holes through the front using a drill bit the same thickness as the screw you have chosen to use. 

Optional – We also drilled countersink holes into the front afterwards to slightly recess the screw heads when you put the box together later.

Next, sit the short end pieces under the front piece of the box, align it carefully and then, using the drill through the clearance hole, mark where the pilot holes should be drilled on the end pieces.

Drill the pilot holes, remembering that pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the thickness of the screw to go into them. 

To add the short sides on, place the pieces together with the front piece and add the screws you have selected. You will now now have 3 sides completed.

To finish the box, take the base, sit the constructed sections on top and draw around them. 
Find the centre of the outlined area and mark appropriate drill holes. We went for 5 in total as you will see. Avoid the corners to make sure you don’t hit other screws by mistake. 


Sit the base onto the 3 sides of the box and drill through into the sides underneath. Because the wood for the base is thinner and the screws smaller, you can get away with just drilling pilot holes straight through. 

Add the screws to complete the box. 

To put it all together: (Starts at 6mins 02 secs)
Measure or offer up the box to the A Board and mark how far you want it up from the bottom. We did this on both sides of the front piece of the A-Board.

On the inside surface of the A Board, also draw around the box.

Mark the centre line of the outlined area and then mark the position of two drill holes. We used 4cm from each edge. 
Drill clearance holes in the A Board surface.

Offer up the box and drill pilot holes through the A Board clearance holes into the box sides underneath. 
Finally add the screws to join the box to the board. 

Stand it up and be proud! 
Decorate in your chosen method, we used paint in our example, 2 coats recommended.

We also finally get to the box itself! Prepping it with primer, painting, applying your design and adding finishing touches like sealant and a box liner to give it that premium look and feel.

Cricut Keepsake Memory Box

Bride Society Leave a comment

How to make the perfect place to store precious wedding keepsakes using Cricut.

***

We all know memories are precious.  Through our lives we understandably gather items that have sentimental value to us for exactly that reason.  Hopefully you’ll experience many moments in life that you want to hold on to the memories of, and your wedding, and by extension, your honeymoon, are naturally going to be high up there in the sentimental stakes. 

You’ll no doubt want to hang on to little mementos that will remind you of those special details, like a copy of your vows, the Order of the Day, your wedding invitation, a few petals from your bouquet or a packet of the confetti and, of course, your wedding cards.  But what do we actually do with those things? 

Well, we already have a whole video giving you ideas for Wedding Keepsakes (which you can find here), so you can showcase your memories to the max.  However, for those items that you maybe don’t necessarily want to have out, we’re thinking you’d still prefer to do something more special with them than shove them in an old shoebox under the bed? 

With that in mind, we got out our Cricut to create a personalised Keepsake Memory Box tutorial for you.  The perfect solution!  Create a beautiful place to safely store those mementos that you’ll love to keep in sight and look through on future anniversaries, reliving the memories together.  We made this one as a wedding gift and chose to create a design in keeping with the couple’s wedding invitation (in the hope they liked it! Obviously easier if you’re making this for yourself!) – from fonts, to colours, to patterns. Whilst you can more simply create this whole design using vinyl, which will still look amazing, we decided to emphasise the family name by cutting it out of basswood, giving it more of a premium look.

Our Cricut tutorial assumes no prior knowledge, we walk you through the entire process of creating our Keepsake Box step-by-step, so if you’re a Cricut beginner, fear not, we’ll get you there – also feel free to ask questions in the comments, we keep an eye on them to help out where we can.  And of course, we make it really easy for you to adapt our tutorial to the design you need by sharing all the skills and techniques you’ll need.  If you’re more advanced and just looking for tips on a particular step in the process, you’ll find time stamps in the video description box over on YouTube so you can jump ahead as you like!

In case you’re keen to know which Cricut skills you can expect to pick up in our tutorial, here’s the list (though there’s lots of bonus tips and tricks sprinkled throughout!):

  • How to create a project/design using Cricut Design Space.
  • How to add and manipulate text in Cricut Design Space, including using the ‘unite’ function.
  • How to alter an image using the ‘slice’ (aka how to crop an image) and ‘unite’ functions.
  • How to prepare your design for cutting – how to prep your mats and materials, and how to tell the machine where you want it to cut.
  • How to load blades into the Cricut machine.
  • Everything you need to know about cutting wood using a Cricut Maker (NB. This section of the tutorial can only be done with the Maker machines, as the required Knife Blade is only compatible with those machines).
  • Everything you need to know about cutting vinyl and how to transfer it to the project.

As you might be able to tell from that list, that’s quite a lot to get through…and that’s before we’ve primed, painted, sealed and added the finishing touches to the box itself.  Consequently, we’ve split this tutorial into two parts so it’s more digestible!  Part one is live now, but you’ll only have to wait one week for part two, which drops August 16th, 4pm BST.  Once it’s up, we’ll add the video link here for you too!

Top Tips for Walking Down the Aisle

Bride Society Leave a comment

You’ve spent months, possibly years, planning for this one day and the Big Day has finally arrived! Now all eyes are going to be on you as you take your final walk as a fiancée down the aisle. While this may not faze some people, it might fill you with some trepidation. Especially if you’re not always comfortable being the centre of attention.

But fear not, the great thing about weddings is, other than the legal bit, you can pretty much do whatever you want! Throw out the traditions that don’t work for you and embrace whatever works for you as a couple. So, if that means you’re more comfortable walking down the aisle solo (and not being “given away”) go for it, or if you decide you’d like to walk in together, you can! Or, if you’d just like a bit more confidence to be able to glide down the aisle with ease, we can help with that too. We’re sharing our top tips and advice to help you walk down the aisle with your head held high and a smile on your face.

If you have any more suggestions to help other couples to be, please share them in the comments below.

Ready, Set, Go!  Your Ultimate Honeymoon Packing List

***

Who doesn’t love a holiday, and a honeymoon even more?  But let’s be real, no matter how excited we are, packing for your trip is never the fun part.  Even if you’re a super organised packer with your washed and folded clothes set aside weeks ahead, the peak of excitement is still only going to be experimenting with your new packing cubes (though side note, they weren’t for me and just turned out to be a stress, but Laura loves them, so let us know in the comments which side of the cube debate you come down on).

Obviously, a packing list is always helpful in making the process as low stress and efficient as possible, but when it comes to honeymoon packing, what should you be taking?  What are those extras that you might not have thought of?  To maintain your newly-wedded-bliss mental status, we’ve put together your ultimate honeymoon packing list so you can just slide from wedding dress to swimsuit with packing ease.  No packing regrets here!

How to Make Watercolour Place Cards

Bride Society Leave a comment

Sometimes you might want to get creative and, if you’ve got the urge to put some of that creativity towards your wedding planning, this simple DIY might be the one for you. Especially, if like me, you already have a stash of watercolour paints in a cupboard from your teenage ‘artistic’ phase.

Although if we don’t have that shared experience, this Watercolour Place Card tutorial still doesn’t break the bank if you choose to buy a watercolour paint or two.

This is a DIY project that ticks all the boxes. It’s easy to do, budget friendly and means you’ll have unique, personalised place settings for all your guests, which can be tailored so easily to match your colour scheme. Plus, it’s a DIY that won’t actually take too long. Although just make sure you allow for some drying time!

To create your place cards you will need:

  • Watercolour Paper – we used an A3 watercolour paper pad but any watercolour paper will work as you tear it to the size you want your place cards to be.
  • Watercolour paint in the colour(s) of your choice
  • Paint brush
  • Sharpie/Marker pen
  • Hole Punch
  • Ribbon of your choice

We’d love to see if you give this DIY a go. Tag us in your photos over on Instagram! Want to hear even more from Bride Society?  You can find us in all of these places:

Hobbycraft Wedding Haul 2024

Our picks from Hobbycraft’s 2024 Wedding Collection

***

It’s no secret we love a wedding DIY here at Bride Society – shockingly our YouTube ‘Wedding DIY’s’ Tutorials playlist already contains 184 videos…and counting!  But sometimes there’s just not enough wedding planning hours in the day to DIY every single aspect of your wedding, shhh, we won’t admit that twice!  Well, the joy of Hobbycraft is you can go either way – materials for DIYs, the basics for your own additions, or even ready to go, they’ve got you covered.

For this week’s YouTube video, we’ve been shopping to see what Hobbycraft have to offer for the 2024 wedding season, bringing you a sample of our favourite offerings (though of course there’s always more!).  We’ve gone for the slightly more unique items they had, aka, not their guest books or invitations, giving ideas about how you might use them in a wedding setting.

We’re in no way affiliated with Hobbycraft, we honestly just love them because you can pick up the raw materials to get super creative, like with these acrylic signs – turning them into your table numbers / guest book sign / cake menu…, or you can pick up their pre-cut confetti cones with slits and slots ready to simply be assembled. 

The confetti cones and holder they’ve got this year are plain and classic, perfect just as they are or as the bare bones if you’re wanting to add embellishments, such as your wedding monogram.  That said, if you want to DIY confetti cones from scratch, or indeed the confetti cone box, you totally can with our tutorials!  Do some of the work or all of the work, it’s up to you (and maybe your budget and skill level)!  Product links below video.

If you like something you see in our video, you can find the link below (in order of appearance).  Prices correct at time of filming (June 2024).  NB.

Wedding Gift Inspiration

The invitation’s landed on the mat, you’ve RSVP’d well before the deadline and now all that’s left to organise is the gift. If the couple have opted out of a wedding registry or, have created one, but you’d still like to give them a small extra, token gift that’s more personal, it can be tricky to come up with the perfect idea.

Or, you may be reading this as a married person to be, and have just started thinking about what you might put on your gift registry.

We’re here to help on both counts! Wedding gift inspiration at a wide range of price points, that basically tick all the boxes. Thoughtful, personal, and/or useful!

Whether it’s something as simple as a personalised card, to a larger splurge (neon light anyone?!) we’re sure there’s something in our gift guide to help give you the inspiration you need to find the gift you’ve been looking for.

How to Plan your Wedding on the Internet!

Bride Society Leave a comment

Budget friendly online wedding planning tools and resources.

***

These days you never really need to step out from behind your devices to plan anything, and a wedding is no different.  Not that we’re advocating for zero in-person contact, things like picking your venue or your wedding dress – probably best done in the flesh!  Though of course you can do a lot of that leg work – like finding options, narrowing them down, and booking appointments all via the internet!

How we plan weddings has changed beyond recognition since 1983 (the ‘birth’ of the internet in case you were wondering), chances are your parents’ generations experience of planning their weddings was, well, somewhat different!  We all know the world wide web has become a powerful resource tool in our everyday lives, but how exactly can it help you plan your wedding?  Where should you be looking (no Googling recommendations here!)?  What wedding specific tools are out there that you might actually find helpful or worth your time?  How can social media help you plan your big day?

We’ve done the digging so you don’t have to.  Sites that have been tried, tested and reviewed by engaged couples, tools that we at Bride Society love to use, plus resources you’ve probably come across but never thought to use for wedding planning. 

Ready to dive right into your streamlined wedding planning experience?

How to Style Your Wedding Chairs

Bride Society Leave a comment

Wedding Chair Styling for Cross Back and Chiavari Chairs with the Secret Bridesmaid

***

Times have moved on since the only option to decorate your wedding chairs was a white chair cover. These days many venues have invested in chairs that don’t need hiding (hooray!), but you still might want to add a bit of something to add interest to both the chairs, and provide decor for the room.

Enter chair drapes!

Available in every colour imaginable, chair drapes are an extremely versatile option to style your wedding chairs.

We are welcoming back Steph from the Secret Bridesmaid this week to demonstrate how easy it is to style your chairs. We’re sharing four styles to give you inspiration for how you may want to dress your wedding chairs. Two are suitable for cross back chairs and two for chiavari chairs. But, these four styles can still be personalised in numerous ways, simply by changing the decor you add to them. e.g. switch the ribbon and add a floral posy and you’ve automatically got a completely different look.

If you’re a DIY wedding couple, this is something (with enough time) you could easily do. Or you may just use the video to share ideas with your wedding stylist.

Something to factor in when choosing your wedding chair dressing. Whether you’re setting up your room yourself, or employing a stylist to dress the chairs for you, choosing a style that uses multiple drapes per chair will be more time consuming and potentially more expensive.

Which style is your favourite?

For more wedding chair inspiration, check out our chair cover alternatives video.

Special thanks to Steph for demonstrating the chair styles this week.  If you’d like to see more of what she has to offer (including her multiway dresses and styling services!), you can find her website here and Instagram here.
