For awhile, I was debating just having my sister and J's sister stand up for me but the more I thought about it I knew that looking back I would be sad to not have pictures of me with all my girls. So, from a bridal party of two I jumped to a bridal party of eight. Eight ladies, I know, that's pretty crazy, but between high school ladies, sorority sisters and family I couldn't not have eight. Eight, who all mean the world to me and who I can't imagine not being a part of our big day.
Once my mind was made up about having all my ladies by my side I knew that I wanted to come up with a unique way to ask them. I had been searching the web and immediately when I came across these vintage hankies on Wedding Chicks I knew they had to be a part of it all.
After many hours of pinterest searching, I knew I also wanted to incorporate elements of kraft paper, lace, baker's twine, chalkboard and a personal message for each of my girls. This is what I came up with.
The materials:
Lace Tape
Baker's Twine
Chalkboard Pen
Chalkboard Tags
Kraft Paper Cards and Envelopes
All from The Paper Source
First, I wrote a note on each card.
Next, I added accents and tied the hankie to the card.
Finally, I sat back and smiled at myself for coming up with an awesome card for my maids. I love that while they were the same concept for each of my ladies they were also slightly different through the personal notes that I wrote for each girl and the slightly different hankie patterns and fonts. I wish I had ironed these before taking the pictures but you get the idea.
I hope you like them as I much as I do!
Love,
Malia E
