Industrial Wedding Decorations
Your normal wedding decorations are vintage, cutesy or glam. But industrial hmmmm you don't see as much. But maybe that's a good thing, because when you do finally see something its a cracker. These wall banners would be so easy to make - with simple messages on a roll of fabric these would look super sweet.
