Personalized Jewelry, Bouquets and Bouttonneires made of the shirt you met him in


Confession. I snagged this shirt from my sister-in-law, Laura, in a clothing swap and wore the heck out of it. She had it for years and met her husband while she was wearing this shirt. They just celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary and the birth of their first adorable daughter. Feeling sentimental and wanting a really meaningful gift to give them, I broke out the scissors and crafted something unique and Laura-esque. Dang, I wish I had thought of this for their wedding! She wore an adorable yellow dress to her wedding rehearsal that would have been complemeneted nicely by this necklace...and what a way to share their story with their loved ones at the same time! Then I could have made him a hidden bracelet (shown) he could have worn on his wrist as they got married, and I could have made cloth flowers to incorporate into the bouquets and bouttonneires, and for the flower girl...my brain is teeming with creative uses for the shirt I just repurposed. I may even make some booties for a special little girl who's about to be Baptized...

Anyway, what you see here is perfect for Laura, but you have your own style and your own story to tell. Send me something you'd like to accompany you on your wedding day...a treasured scarf, a dress from your favorite date, the picnic blanket you sat on the night he proposed. Maybe it's a tablecloth or personal item of a deceased loved one who can't be with you on your special day. Think big and I'll meet you there.
