Wedding Ring Pillows

This came totally as a surprise for us. I never even thought originally needing a wedding ring pillow or any other kind of ring caring item. I always thought my fiance's best man would carry the ring in his pocket and give it at some to my future husband. But then me and my maid of honor had a little talk and it came to my mind that it would be incredible adorable if our 6 years old godson would be our usher. He would carry the pillow with the rings and stand near best man by the isle. So suddenly we need a pillow to carry! And there are  some different pillow to choose from. One of the basic things for me is that i want the pillow to be somehow useful after the wedding as well, but still be weddingly enough for the church. Anyway here are some of the pillows i found so far.

This taupe satin ring pillow is decorated on the front side with a darker taupe sash. In the middle is a lighter taupe rose wih a pearl and rhinestone decoration. Found on ebay

This pillow made with bridal quality dupioni silk features golden colored lace, delicately creased by hand, on which sits a gorgeous and lovely light ivory flower. The charming bloom consists of an organza embroidered with ivory floral leaves and lace. The bloom on the golden-colored crease, hand made with delicate craftsmanship, has a sense of volume, making it look special. In the middle of the ivory flower, there are pearl flower seeds and a ribbons. Can a pillow be more gorgeous peace of art than this ? By Mirino

In love with Lily of the Valley

There is a new flower i am simply in love with, and that's is Lily of the Valley ! There is something so delicate and feminine and beautiful in those little white flowers! Our wedding in on 9th of jun. Spring and Summer usually come late her in Finland. So maybe , just maybe i could have some Lily of the Valley in my bridal bouquet! <3

 

The only things i am worried about are this.

• Florists say that Lily of the Valley can either stay well or can die very fast. So there is this little risk that my bridal bouquet will have some very dead looking flowers in it :)
• Lily of the Valley has kinda strong adore. So must be careful with not overusing this beautiful and fragile flower
• The flower as i heard can be kinda  expensive, but hope that it will be less expensive on it's growing season

Making Seal Wax Stamps

 

 photo

So we decided to have a seal wax stamps on our wedding invitations and possibly as decoration at our wedding venue as well. I thought i would try out making some stamps. Here are items i had for making some seal wax stamps.:

1. A spoon ( that you will never be able to use again after making seal wax stamps ), 
2. Stamp itself
3. Seal wax sticks
4. Candle ( in the end i used 2 candles at same time as my spoon was so big )
5. Match
6. Foil (because i want to be able to take stamps off easily for practising)
7. And a cold water cup ( for cooling down my stamp, though make sure your stamp is dry before making stamps )

 

 I break seal wax stick

I then put my spoon with seal wax over the candle and let wax melt. Yeah it take a long time to melt, so in the end i had 2 candles to make melting little faster.

 After seal was was melted i put small amount of wax on the foil and put seal wax stamp on it very fast ( wax cools down extremely fast so need to put seal wax stamp right away)  keep stamp few seconds on wax and take off)

 Here are some seal wax stamps i made. Some are very nice looking, but some are not as good. But i think practise is needed in everything we do, so i hope by the time i will need to send our invitations i will have mostly good looking seal wax stamps!

I like seal wax stamps that are bigger size with nice "chubby" edges :)

Table Name Card Holders

I am right now trying to decide what kind of name cards will we have on our own wedding. So i thought i would first decided TO HAVE or NOT TO HAVE a place card holders at all, and then everything else! If we will have holders i would want something interesting looking, but something that won't make tables look too full of staff, which i think can easily happen with name card holders. But anyway here are some things i found so far, some of which perhaps are little less traditional :)

Picture Frame Name Card by MiLKKrafts

 

An interesting idea would be to use an old  decorated wine corks as a table card holders. I think something like this could be easily done. First you need to start saving all the wine corks.... Yeah LOTS of wine corks. If your wedding is still years from now, then i would suggest to start drinking wine now hehe :) Otherwise you can get this name card holders from Kara's Vineyard Wedding

There we saw some wine corks used as a name cards... But how about champagne cages..?This little chair name card holders are made by Becky Kazana

Or maybe champagne corks with some sparkle ? Karas Vineyard Wedding

Elegant name card or table number holders with pearls by CreativeStamps . I like this kind  of items that you can see been used after the wedding as well. They could be a nice photo holders and a gift for your guest to take home with.

Or how about letting your guests pick their name cards and choose the seats on the specific table by themselves ?  This way less headache on who will seat next to whom and there is no need to find a place for the card on the table. Escort Card Holders by Spotted Ink Shop

Table name card with a flower in each. I think in this case there not necessarily any other flower arrangements needed on the table. And i love the idea of each guest getting a flower to take with them home! Well, you could say this holders hold flower and not a card, but they are lovely :) Photo from here

Adorable heart topped kissing bell place card holders.. I think this silver place card bells look very cute and i think could be a nice little gift for guests to take with them as a reminded about the wedding. I'm not too sure Finnish guests will get the idea about playing bells to make wedding couple kiss, but who knows... And it could turn into a nightmare with all the kids running and playing bells non stop hehe. But otherwise i think it would be a new idea here as i don't think many have seen such on a wedding or anywhere else. One thing i am not sure. Perhaps they are little too modern looking for what i am wanting on our wedding day and the colour silver might be off... But yeah they simply adorable <3 Bell place cards from Light In The Box

Are you perhaps good in making things yourself ? Here is some ideas for those who want and able to make things for the wedding !
