Programs

I made our programs over the past couple of days and I'm really happy with how they turned out! I got the idea form someones post on www.weddingbee.com and made it my own. It was tricky working with the eyelets since this was my first time using them. You always have to go through a few rough drafts before you get the perfect one! Luckily, I only went through a few. I bought all my crafts items form "Michael's", "Jo-Anna's Fabric", and "Office Depot".

List of Items

I made my templates in a Word document and printed everything at the BEST quality.

Flower Girl Baskets

Yesterday and today my Mom and I ran out to "Micheal's" and priced out items that we would need to make the centerpieces and bought a few items for the wedding. I had a really good time with my Mom and I'm glad that she is finally really into all the wedding planing. She throw out a few ideas that her and Dad want to do for the Bridal shower. Yesterday we went to "Victoria Secret" and I didn't like anything I tried on! I need to find what I'm going to wear under my dress! I was glad Mom was with me because it would have been really depressing if I was by myself. I also bought a few gifts for the girls in the wedding! Today we bought the items for me to make the flower girl baskets and I LOVE how they turned out. I think each basket cost about $5.00 to make since, I buy everything on sale or I use coupons!

How to Make a Flower Girl Basket

What you need is a hot glue gun, scissors, lots of ribbon, a basket, a few flowers, and roses petals. It took me maybe an hour to make all three baskets.
