Beautiful Handkerchief Vows

I love it when couples write their own vows to each other for their ceremony. Whether part or all of the promises are unique, it makes the ceremony so personal and meaningful! 

Inevitably though, brides and grooms struggle with what to read them from or use as a back-up to memorization.

I found these and thought that they were both beautiful and practical at the same time!

Aren't they pretty? These ones are hand-painted by a calligrapher featured on Martha Stewart's site. Couples finalize their vows and send them to her to get painted on the handkerchiefs in time for the wedding. 

I think that it would make a really special DIY project though too. You can find all kinds of fabric paint pens at various craft stores and hand write them yourselves. I love the idea of such a personal message being written in your own handwriting. 

Are you writing your own vows? How will you be reading them during the ceremony?

DIY Ribbon Streamers

One of our favorite venues here in Gainesville, Florida is the Historic Thomas Center . The gardens, architecture, and ballroom are just beautiful, and completely unique to Gainesville, making it ideal for a wedding. That being said, as a historic building, there are restrictions that go with it. One of the biggies that our couples run into frequently is the fact that you aren't allowed to throw anything - no rice, rose petals, confetti, bubbles, sparklers, etc. We have an amazingly wonderful couple getting married there at the end of the month. They wanted something to help celebrate the BIG KISS and came up with the idea for ribbon streamers for guests to wave. Being the crafty, wonderful, wedding planners that we are, we were on call to help! :) We thought we'd put up the step-by-step DIY instructions for you too! Thing's you'll need: 12 inch wooden dowels 2-3 feet of ribbon, per dowel Hot Glue and Glue Gun Sharp Scissors Start by cutting your ribbon into 2 to 3 feet
