Ribbons Matter

I now have another item to add to my list of "things I never thought I would have such a strong opinion on". Its funny how weddings make you care about so many little previous unnoticed things! I have heard through the "blog-vine" that you could find beautiful vintage style ribbon in different Etsy shops. I always assumed I would pop in to Michaels or a crafting store and pick up any old thing, but once you see the vintage ribbon....swoon. Here's some of my favorites:

These would be gorgeous tied around little favor bottles like these

Or gauzy soft ribbon to tie around bouquets and vases:

Assorted ribbons!

I love, love, love when I find new things that really matter.

Will you be mine?

So, I've been a little MIA recently, but I have been one busy bee. I have just placed a order for custom " Will you be my Bridesmaid Cards?" I went back and forth on how I should ask my ladies and ultimately settled on personalized cards and messages. Each card will be stuffed with a picture from our past. I found these simple little cards on  Little Lady Company  Esty Site.  She was a doll to work with, and although I loved her message, I actually asked her to change the text a bit, and she made me a custom order.  I don't want to share the final product just yet because I want my girls to be surprised! But here's the original listing... and of course they came in yellow!
