Letter Perfect




One of the smaller projects I have been working on is finding the perfect gifts for my bridesmaids. Although this is clearly not a time sensitive project it just one of those little things I think I could get out of the way early and cut down on stress later. Plus- I know once we pay the remainder of our deposits spending extra $$$ on pretty necklaces or clutches will seem frivolous. My goal is for the presents to meet the following criteria:

1. Be personal and unique to each girl's personality and style
2. All be united in some way AND coordinate with my dresses so they could be worn the day of the wedding.
3. Cost NO more than $50 dollars each including shipping, packaging, and wrapping.

I also am leaning toward one bigger item as opposed to several smaller items - at least right now. I figure if I purchase one larger item now, if the budget allows I can add to it later. Previously I blogged about finding adorable clutches for each girl and possibly having them engraved with initals. But on a recent Etsy spin, I stumbled up on these lovely initial charms from a seller called Sweet Lavender and Leaf.




And in silver


But, I really like the way gold would look with our yellow dresses. I thought I could match the gem stone to each girl's birthstone or favorite color.






Maybe my MOH could get a special full name disc.



After a inquiring a bit with the seller, I think I can find a way to make these fit my "criteria."

Maybe even pick a little one up for me too.



With a yellow stone of course.

Cutest Wedding Favors Ever


Last week I was searching for fun ways to incorporate vintage ribbon and I stumbled upon the cutest wedding favors EVER on Martha Stewart Weddings. I'm pretty sure I can DIY with plan white boxes and yellow paper. I was thing the boxes could read:

Mr.'s Name loves
My Name 4-ever

or

true love
conquers all
or

love hope
faith charity

Actually, I think these all sound pretty cheesy! I will defidently have to put some more thought into this! Any suggestions?
