when i first say bethany's bridesmaid boxes on her blog, rinse. repeat., i knew that was going to be my first wedding craft to tackle. like bethany, my bridesmaids are all over the country. i wanted to make them something that would make them smile and that they could keep!
each box has a different handkerchief inside that the girls will end up carrying with their bouquets during the ceremony (for all their tears of joy, of course!). i included information about the big day and a note to each girl. i couldn't turn down the lovely bridesmaid cards from rifle paper co.
each box also had some inspiration photos and candy that is made in nashville, were we will be tying the knot!
i had an absolutely wonderful time making these! it is such a great way to give the girls a feel for the wedding and share in the excitement!
This is SO adorable. I love the vintage handkerchiefs. I pinned this!
ReplyDeleteSooo adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool. Makes them feel like they are a big part of the wedding!
ReplyDeletethese are so completely adorable. i didn't do anything as sweet or creative. i actually wasn't even going to have a wedding party but then my best friend from college (whose wedding i was in) got drunk, cried, and told me she always thought she'd be in my wedding... so naturally, i asked her to be my maid of honor and asked two other friends to be in it as well :) that's how mine got asked. your story will be so much nicer.
ReplyDeleteahaha that is fantastic! you certainly won't forget that story (:
DeleteThis is such a wonderful idea! They turned out so well :]
ReplyDeleteI absolutely in love with your take on these boxes!! The grey + bunting swag across the inside lid is such a sweet touch.And those Rifle cards? Oh heavens. I thought about buying them for my girls, too. They're so dreamy!

This is so sweet! I was lazy and called my bridesmaids to ask them, but I love seeing the special things that brides do to welcome their maids! Those scarves are so pretty and I love that you included local candy. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I made all my bridesmaids cards with personal notes and each a unique ring that I made. I definitely wish I could have put together little boxes like that though! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
