NEW ADHESIVE SATIN RIBBON

From time to time we get many requests for personalised ribbons specially measured, printed and positioned around for bomboniere boxes.  When putting this ribbon around the box, you need double sided sticky tape to keep the ribbon in place.  Recently we looked into some adhesive satin ribbon.  Apparently scrapbookers use this ribbon all the time for card making.  So, we have decided that we will give this a go and see if we can personalise these types of ribbons as well.  It will certainly save time.  Let us know if you think this would be an option for you to use.

We also came across some adhesive lace strips....these look great on invitation.  Add some personalised ribbons and you have a very classy invite...to easy to do.  Even these diamante strips will add some elegance...www.personalisedribbons.com.au

UNIQUE PERSONALISED IDEAS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

SO I WAS BROWSING THE INTERNET TO FIND SOME IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING DAY MORE PERSONALISED.....THESE ARE GREAT (MY FAVOURITE IS THE WEDDING BOUQUET IDEA) LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

The wonderful man, I now call my husband, and I wanted something a little different at our wedding. Hidden in my bouquet were two long stem roses. When my father escorted me up the isle, we paused long enough for me to give a rose to my mother (along with a hug, kiss and a few tears). During the ceremony, my husband and I faced each other, rather than the Officiant. The guests got a better view of the ceremony. After the lighting of the unity candle, we exchanged gifts with each other. The maid of honour carried the bracelet I gave to him and the ring bearer walked up the isle with a necklace on the ring pillow that my husband gave to me. As we started back down the isle, as husband and wife, we paused so I could give the other rose that was still tucked in my bouquet to my new mother-in-law.

After the traditional lighting of the unity candle (which we are planning to make ourselves, thanks to another person on this site's suggestion), the groom and I will then take our still-lit taper candles down the aisle. Each guest will have received a white candle along with their program before the ceremony. I will start with the groom's parents, and the groom will start with mine, and we will each work our way down the aisle, lighting the candle of the first person in each pew. All the while, a couple will be performing "If you Say My Eyes Are Beautiful" (originally sung by Whitney Houston and Jermaine Jackson). Then the pastor will explain that with the lighting of these candles, our families have truly been united with the light of our love, as well as God's love.

Place cards with 4 or 5 wedding tradition on each table. I hope it will be interesting and entertaining for our quests to read and be reminded of the true symbolism of the evenings events

Our photographer suggested this having seen it at another wedding. Our guest book is an engravable tray. We ordered an engraving tool and will be having guest engrave their name on the tray. This way we will have a tray to display in our home, rather than a book that most people won't see again

Whenever we would go to a wedding we always are wondering who the people in the bridal party are and what is their relation to the bride and groom. So at our wedding, in the program we listed each person in our wedding party with a little paragraph on how we know this person and a little fun tidbit and or why they are special to us. It was nice for them to read and gave our guests a special insight of our friends and family and didn't leave them guessing who was who.
For a unique party favour my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.
I will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!

Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.

For our upcoming wedding, I will not carry a bouquet. Rather, as I walk down the aisle, each guest seated at the edge of the aisle on the bride's side will hand me a flower, and I will gather them together. When we reach the front of the church, my father will tie a ribbon around the bouquet
