Modern''s wedding thread

[modernsparkler]

6 more days! I cannot wait! In procrastinating doing other stuff, I thought I would start a thread with all of the final details we are putting together for the big day. Some of these have been posted on here but most are new things we just finished! Enjoy!

First, our exit sparklers that are 36 inches long! FI did the calligraphy on the signs

OOT gift bags- with our signature M printed with labels from paper source. In the bags are water bottles with a personalized label, an umbrella (wedding is in seattle but the forecast looks great), a $5 starbucks, card, and I will be adding home made cookies later this week

FI''s gifts to groomsmen... cufflinks made from an Etsy vendor with locations important to them. He went to college and spent 1 year in italy with 4 of his groomsmen and most of the cufflinks have 1 Florence cuff and another one! I think they turned out really cool!

I am giving my BM''s some pearl earrings, these pearl necklaces made by one of my BM''s moms, and a gift cert. for their hair at the salon on the day of the wedding. Here is a pic of the beautiful necklace she made

Nicely done! I really like the color blue you have chosen! Where are your BM dresses from? They are just gorgeous!

 

[idreamofcushions]

Everything looks fantastic! I especially love those napkins...what a great idea! Can''t wait to see the wedding pics!

Everything came together so nicely! I love the napkins. I think you posted about them before but I forgot, where did you get them? I may have to steel that idea cause its super awesome.

 

[modernsparkler]

Thanks ladies! We spent a long time picking that blue and I think it will work well for our springy wedding.

I luv sparkles- the bm dresses are Jim Hjelm slate blue!

Emerald- the napkins are from foryouparty.com They were like $90 for 300 napkins!
