Wedding Project: Program and Bubble Holder

I saw these adorable holders on a blog, and decided to make a variation of the combination. Since we are doing bubbles not petals, and since if we hang them and not tie them the hotel will set them up, I decided to do only hanging holder for both the programs and the bubbles to hang on each seat at the wedding.


At first I was going to make each packet myself, but then I had the idea just to buy small envelopes and tuck the flap in, and I found the perfect color and for only $4.64 for 25 at Paper-Papers.com, what a great deal and I am so glad I didn’t spend the time making the packets!


I created a small cover for the holder, cut all of them out and glued each one to the envelope.

I then cut the ribbon and glued each ribbon to the back on the envelope.


It was so easy and turned out so cute!




Now to just finish making the programs...

I found these two on Etsy and will me making one similar to both of these together.



More wedding project to come! I got a lot done last week!

2 months to go!

We are exactly 2 months away from the wedding and most everything is done. I still have to put the favors together, make the card box and the placecards and holder, but really all we have left is fun stuff! I have my shower that my sister and aunt are throwing me on the 20th of February and I can’t wait! Look how pretty the invite is...


Then some time in March is my bachelorette party! Also in March we have a wedding to go to and then of course April 9th is the rehearsal dinner. With so many events I had a lot of outfits to find.



I saw this dress a long time ago before I was engaged and saved the picture and description on my computer because I just loved it, then when I got engaged and thought of the perfect event to wear it to, the rehearsal dinner, it was nowhere to be found, so since August, I had been looking on Ebay for it and finally two weeks ago I found it and its in my size!! It arrived this passed week and is even prettier in person! If I lose anymore weight it will have to be taken in, but my bridal salon said they would do it for me.


I had been eyeing this dress at Saks for a few months, but for no particular event, but then when it went almost half off I had to grab it and decided it’s the dress I will wear to the shower, of course dressing it down without those heels.

Now for the wedding and bachelorette party I have ideas but nothing found yet. I am thinking red for the wedding, maybe something one shoulder also, there is a dress at my bridal salon that I have my eye on, but its pricey since its...yes a bridesmaid’s dress...shocking! and its one size smaller than I am right now, but I still have a month so we will see. For the bachelorette party I am thinking something fun, and little wild and 80’sish.
