I made the programs. I used my cricut to cut the jackets and printed off the four pages for each program. Put them together with a ribbon. This picture is of a sample one that I sent to my daughter to approve it. The actual programs had blue or green bows on them.
I took a free basket that I won on my bike trip and padded it with some quilt padding and put satin fabric over it. Added ribbon on the handle and decorated it with green ribbon and pearls. It turned out really nice. Here is a picture of my 'mess' while doing it. LOL
I made 24 pew bows. They each used 5 yards of ribbon. I also put pearls in each on of them. Bought the pew hangers from Oriental Trading.
I etched a vase for the groom in memory of his mother. The words etched on it were:
"In loving memory of my mother, this rose blooms as a symbol of a life and love remembered Love, Daniel. The back side was the date. It turned out very nice. The groom really appreciated it. He got teary eyed when he saw it.
I etched toasting glasses for the headtable. They had the heart and dove from the Wedding cartridge on the along with their names and date. I etched eight of them but only used six of them for the wedding. That way they had a set to keep for themselves.
These were the favors I made of my daughter's wedding. I made the paper roses in the colors of the wedding and designed the box. I embossed the boxes with the Big Shot Express. Then assembled them with ribbons, pearls, and tags. They choose the saying and we bought puzzles from Oriental Trading to put inside. I made 125 of them. The tag on them says: "We have tied the knot and there's no untangling us."
Only 5 weeks to go! All plans are falling in place. I jsut have a few more things to do but can't do them until later. Last night I mixed up five different types of cookies. Going to bake them later this week and then hopefully next weekend mixed up some more. I'm so happy for my daughter! After the wedding I'll be posting tons of pictures so stay tuned. Love to see your comments so please post.
