Tying the Knot – Macrame

Today I want to share with you some ideas for macrame decorations for weddings. Macrame is a type of textile art that uses knots to create patterns and shapes. It’s a great way to add some boho chic and natural vibes to your special day. Off-white and beige are the most common maracame colours as most macrame decorations have a natural feel. But there is nothing stopping you from adding a splash of colour in the form or colourful ropes or colourful beads. And if you don’t master this technique but like the look of macrame decorations, don’t worry, there is a wide range of ready made product to choose from, with bespoke options available.
