Large hurricane vases containing floating candles are placed on either side of a path strewn with rose petals. If you are picking from your own garden, pluck them early in the morning when roses are freshest. For a more inexpensive approach, use fake flower petals or just have the large vases as a pathway to the wedding and/or reception.

Monogrammed entryway. Use letters from yours and your groom’s names or of just your soon-to-be last name to welcome guests. Use ribbons and paint the letters to coincide with your wedding colors.

Easy Accessory Idea for your Bridesmaids

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Martha Stewart provided another cute idea for your bridesmaids to wear on your big day. Fabric flower rings. This could be a fun activity to do at a bridal shower or hand them out at the rehearsal dinner.

Start by cutting fabric flowers, such as the ones shown here, from their stems. Wrap ribbon around your finger to determine the approximate length you’ll need; cut ribbon to size, adding about 1/4 inch for overlap. Use a hot-glue gun to join ends together, forming a loop, and to add flowers to ribbon bands. Ta-da! You’ll have an easy and affordable gift for your bridesmaids! Or if you’re not a do-it-yourselfer, check out this new BravoBride Boutique that specializes in ribbon flowers – they are beautiful!
