DIY Wedding - Cardbox - KEH2010's Pink Wedding by Color Blog

What a productive day! We...

1. finally finished the cardbox!

It only took me 3 weeks to do. lol. Im happy with the outcome, but Im upset at the outlining of the hot glue through the ribbon. :(
Does it look tacky, yall? Im thinking about taking the ribbon off and using double sided tape to adhere it?

2. Booked our DJ!
He was so friendly and professional. He really knows his stuff! Im really getting excited now!

3. Started gathering adresses to mail save the dates.

4. Made an appointment with a planner/director for tomorrow.
I really want someone to be able to make sure the reception site gets set up the way I want it and be able to handle other small details for the day. Is anyone else out their getting planners or directors for their day?

5. Found our photographer! Since the photographer who did our Epics are already booked, we started googling local photogs. Turns out, she went to highschool with Fh back in the day. AND... is going to do a photobooth for us. Its not something she offers, but I just randomly decided to ask and she said shed be willing to make it happen. Shes awesome :) So excited about that!

6.Changed my mind on centerpieces yet again. Same concept, different vase. boo. im tired of hearing and thinking about centerpieces.

You made a SUPER cute card box and centerpiece.!!!! good job!!!!

WOW that looks awesome! Great job!

How did you make the card box? Fabric or paper? It's way cute.

Your box looks wonderful! You might want to try spray glue for the ribbon or use the xylon machine with the adhesive cartridge and run your ribbon through. Or even try a glue stick on the ribbon.

thanks yall!

cre8tive- thanks for the suggestions! i never thought about using spray glue. i am definitely going to get some! :)

jirenee85- the box is actually 2 boxes I got at hobby lobby. They are printed with the damask on them. I had to just cut the holes in them and hot glue on top of one another.

Looks good :) I was having that problem too, but I just did dots on a few places and stretched the ribbon. It came out ok..But Im not taking it off and starting over, LOL! Try to spray adhesive. Let me know how it works..

BTW~Youve chosen a beautiful day to get married on, Thats my B-day :) hehe..

Your card box and centerpiece turned out great!!! I have just one question, I kind of have the same concept with the centerpiece pictured. Is that a DIY or did you purchase it. If DIY, how did you go about making it?!? Will you please share? :-)

It looks adorable!!

futuremsmarin, we are some special girls :)

mibride2010- my centerpiece is a diy. I just bought some ribbon, double sided tape, crystal garland, 4' floral ball, and about 4 bunches of silk carnations. First I took all the carnation flowers and put them on the ball. No hot glue required, just take them off the stem and press them into the ball. Once I had the whole ball covered I took a strand of the crystal garland and tied it to a paper clip and stuck it in the center of the ball. I used the double sided tape to put the ribbon at the top of the vase and the bottom.

I hope this helps you. I have a hard time describing the method to my madness. lol

Thanks keh2010!!! I really appreciate it!!! I was making things look more diffcult then they really are. I thought your floral ball was all flowers put together by hand...lol. I think I can accomplish this task...THINK! lol I will keep you up to date on these centerpieces!!! When your name is in big letters on my page you will know I got them right!!! :-)

Your cardbox is really cute! Why not cover the glue with a smaller/thinner piece of darker pink ribbon? I would be afraid that pulling the glue off would ruin the box itself. You're really getting things done! I love your centerpieces too, great job!

VERY cute!!
