#143 Bridesmaid Clutches

Yesterday I featured a clutch from EllenVintage, looking at her creations got me thinking about the trend of giving clutches as bridesmaid gifts so I thought now would be a good a time as any to feature a few options for either gifts or for the bride herself.

Here's a slightly different version of yesterdays clutch, as well as more 'something blue' & a of more traditional option...
  
  

My favourites, also from EllenVintage. Check it out... doily design bag!!! LOVE.

 

One from mermaids dream & three from joanyg

   

And quite a 'few' picks from Bagitarian...

                

My close second in the favourite stakes, also from Bagitarian, the 'Love Letters in the Sand' series...

    

Do you have a favorite?

#142 Accessory Pairing

This Vintage 1950's 'Deep in my Heart' fascinator from 13bees is just gorgeous.
It looks so incredibly elegant & striking, even though it's quite large I think that the repetition in the layered ivory felt design coupled with the fact that it is a single medium, without glitz & the like, would make for a surprisingly understated look.

 


This clutch from ellenVintage would be a gorgeous match. Continuing the feathered look without taking it too far, plus there's your something blue!

#141 Custom Wedding Stamps

When you have multiples upon multiples of things to do, you know what is ridiculously handy? Stamps.
Not to mention awesome & somehow both very adult + childish at the same time... Just don't ask me what on earth I mean by that?

Here's a collection of custom wedding announcements & save the dates from Love To Create Stamps...

 

(The following two are my favourites)

   
 

And a return address stamp is, in my opinion, an absolute must. Having one of these is such a time saver when you hand write thank you cards to about 150 people!

   

The time you save is worth far more than the money you spend on these. Trust me.

#140 Zinc Place Cards, Initials & Favours

I love zinc as wedding decor, it's just beautiful. Perfect for so many different atmosphere's too?
Have a look at these offerings from my sparrow

I love these as table numbers...

 

These as bride & groom initial decor or even cake toppers...

 

If your budget allowed they would also make fantastic favours (a guests first initial) that would be gorgeous & also gender neutral!

And imagine these zinc bird tags doubling as place finders & favours, with your guests name written on them in chalk that they can later use as decor in their home, as an addition to their 'festive' decorations, or even as a bookmark? You could also use them as the table marker itself again using chalk to write the number.



These place cards from farmhouse wares are the ones that started my zinc love affair...



Perfect for a desert buffet as well!
