What better way to keep the love alive that you felt on the day you were married, than to figure out how to use your wedding memorabilia for decorating your master bedroom with? The mementos from your ceremony and reception are perfect inspirations for the interior design of your love nest at home, not only because of the feelings they'll invoke when being surrounded by them every night, but also for the simple fact that you already know you'll love the color scheme of the room.

Step 1: Make a Large Shadow Box
Read How to Make a Wedding Shadow Box and fill it with your favorite smaller items from your big day. Grouping them together will create more of any impact than, having them spread across the room. This can include invitations, cards, flowers from the reception tables and the ring bearers pillow as well as any special headpiece of jewelry that was worn.

Step 2: Preserve Your Larger Items
Read How to Preserve Your Wedding Memories for ideas on how to turn your bridal bouquet into different decorations. You can turn it into potpourri or simple dry it to place on your dresser. If you choose the later, display it in it own glass box to keep it dust free.

Step 3: Blow Up Your Favorite Wedding Pictures
Blow up one or two of the most romantic pictures that were taken on your wedding day to decorate your bedroom with. Either place one right above your bed or one on each side above your night tables. If you choose the later, have a sign made with a romantic saying such as "Always Kiss Me Goodnight", a favorite Bible verse about love, or even a copy of your vows to hang between the two pictures.

Step 4: Paint Your Room
Paint the space with colors from the bridal party. The trick in how to bring everything together successfully when figuring out how to decorate a master bedroom with wedding memorabilia is to choose a paint scheme that matches your interior design tastes. For example, if your bridal party wore red, you could either paint the walls in white and trim and moldings in red for a more crisp or country feel or you could paint the walls in red and the trim in white or black for a more modern or dramatic look.

Step 5: Bring in Additional Accessories
Use the candles from the reception as candles in your space when decorating your bedroom with mementos from the day you were married. Buy a comforter in the opposite hue of the walls and throw pillows that complement both. Incorporate as much of the day as possible and every time you walk in the room you'll feel like a blushing bride again.
