Materials:

• 3 inch brushed silver cake topper from Ebay seller Blueargyledotcom.
• 60 clear/slightly pearlescent Swarovski crystals from Hobby Lobby.
• 60 Rose Swarovski crystals from Hobby Lobby.
• Jewel glue from Wal-Mart (meant for jewels on fabric, but it still works peachy!)

Thoroughly clean the cake topper. Stick toothpick in top of glue nozzle. Place small amount individually on the metal cake topper. Place crystal with tweezers. I did mine in a pattern alternating colors. Scrape off excess glue in between crystals with clean toothpick.

Toasting Glasses

I found our toasting glasses! Found these for just $10.50 of these at Belladonna Spa and Retail Therapy in New Orleans on Magazine Street. Since I wanted them for the whole bridal party, I bought 15! So excited!

Tissue Rehearsal Bouquets

Materials:

• Four sheets of 10 X 5 inch tissue paper per flower.
• 18 inches of floral wire per flower.
• 6 in of faux flower stem.
• Raffia ribbon
• Tape

Stack four sheets of tissue. Make 3/8-inch-wide accordion folds. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, slip over center of tissue, and twist to secure. Trim ends of tissue. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.
Place stem next to wire. Wrap wire pieces around stem. Wrap raffia ribbon around stem securing at end with tape.

Cake Knife Set

I found this steal of a knife set on sale at Pier One a while back. I tried to bead it, but it didn't work out. Instead I tied on a pink, plastic raffia around it. I think that's good enough!

Frames

Materials:

• 12 2X3 frames from Dollar Tree
• 25 5X7 frames from Dollar Tree
• Metallic silver spraypaint from Wal-Mart
• Black spraypaint from Wal-Mart

I bought some basic frames in various sizes to use at our reception. I bought (12) 2X3 frames and painted them silver. These will be used for the candy buffet to identify each candy on the buffet.

I bought (20) 5X7 frames that I painted black to go on each reception table. I will put directions for using the disposable cameras in these at one per table.

I bought (5) 5X7 frames that I will paint silver. These will be used to mark the reserved tables and one will be for our sweetheart table.

I will post completed pics once I have the contents placed in them after I receive all my paper.

I created my Save the Dates by using Publisher. I ordered them through Vista Print. I had to get them to resend some because they weren't all great! They were more than happy to accomodate my request. I heart Vista Print! I jsut sent them out this week. People love them!

Below are the picture of my STDs and I attached a template for you to use if you'd like!
