VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Saying “I do” is getting even more costly for couples this year, with one recent survey pegging the average cost of a wedding to be more than $30,000. From engagement parties and showers to rehearsal dinners and even the big day, it can all add up. Rust-Oleum, a leading innovator in coatings and paints, offers tips and trends to help celebrate in style without breaking the bank.
The company recently unveiled Satin French Blue as its Spray Paint Color of 2024. This color is quickly becoming the darling of wedding events for its airy elegance and also offers a trending complementary spray paint palette. These colors are beautiful go-to’s to transform sign boards, easels, frames, gift card holders and more.
“Satin French Blue offers endless possibilities for projects that infuse spaces with color and joy,” said Lindee Katdare, creative producer and in-house DIY expert at Rust-Oleum. “It marries everything from the tradition, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue’ for an unforgettable wedding experience.”
Custom crafts on the rise
A company survey of more than 150 brides and grooms showed that they are increasingly turning to DIY wedding projects to save on costs and add personalized touches to their festivities.
Top DIY projects for showers and weddings include:
- Invitations/Save the Dates
- Floral arrangements
- Decorations (centerpieces, signage)
- Guest favors and gifts
“DIY helps you save on costs but also creates priceless memories that resonate for a lifetime,” said Katdare. “With color and creativity, these touches can infuse a special sense of charm and meaning without sacrificing style.”
A few of Katdare’s favorite transformations include using Universal Aged Metallic Spray Paint in Vintage Gold to give wooden or metal easels a classic look. She also likes playing up something blue by turning champagne caddies into personalized bridesmaid gifts or adding unique and unexpected pops of color to floral centerpieces.
Making a statement with sapphire
As more people shift away from traditional white décor, the Pinterest 2024 Wedding Report revealed searches for “blue wedding rings” up 155%. But Katdare says rings shouldn’t be the only showstopper in blue. She says Rust-Oleum’s Custom Spray 5-in-1 in Satin Sapphire Blue is a great choice for painting chairs for an eclectic wedding or bridal shower.
“Don’t be afraid to experiment with color. It can easily elevate any occasion to add your vibes, your way,” said Katdare. “What I love about Rust-Oleum’s new Custom Spray 5-in-1 is how it’s the perfect go-to spray paint for newbies and experts. It packs five ways to spray in one can. From larger surfaces with a wide fan or even intricate and detailed areas with a low-output spray, it’s confidence at your fingertips to help you get the job done right.”
