Candy Buffet Boxes
Boxes from ULine; I thin printed the monograms out on matte photo paper, cut the circles out, ran through my Xyron machine and stuck them on. Took a lot less time than I thought!

Flower Girl Gifts
DONE!!
Using my left-over rhinestones and mylar paper I made this bag with the same principals as the hoodie (see below). I also added the cute rhinestone flowers, which I got from Michales for $1. The canvas tote bag came from Michaels as well :-) So about $3
Also, with my left over rhinestones & mylar, I made this cute shirt for the FG to wear for the rehearsal dinner (cost about $5)

Will post pictures of other things I got him soon :-)

Bridesmaids Glasses
DONE!!
I loved how SummerKutie did her bridesmaid's wine glasses, so I set out to make my own, using the same Etsy vendor as her (ACJInspirations)
Wine Glasses - from Target - $14.99 for 4 - came to $23 with shipping ($5.75/glass)
ACJ Inspiration - vinyl stick letters + dots - $8.50 with shipping - she even did a custom apricot color for me, AWESOME!
Bags to "wrap them" - $0.59 ea (from Michaels)
Ribbon to tie around stems - $3.99 (from Michaels)
TOTAL : $9.47 ea

Personalized Clothing
DONE!!
LOVE emarston1's directions -- easy for me to follow! (the link takes you to her blog)
Rhinestones - (Ebay) - 1440 (10 gross) - 3mm (10ss) crystal-clear HotFix Rhinestones, bought for $5.99 + $2.95 shipping
Mylar Paper- bought 10 sheets of 9.4" x 9.4" Mylar paper for $5.29 (free shipping) - I think this should be MORE than enough
Hoodie (Old Navy) -$22 with shipping
TOTAL = $36.23
still less than buying on Etsy ($39)
+ have lots of supplies leftover for other projects

Bracelet
DONE!! - RE-DONE!!
Decided I wasn't a big fan of the brooch, so I found another one from Fabulous Brooch - which was even cheaper than this one!
Used the directions from Kim as a guide, but modified a bit; namely that the strands of the bracelet are connected to the brooch itself.
- pearls and rondelles from FusionBeads
- wire, crimpers, etc from Michaels

Bridesmaids Necklaces
DONE!!
Found inspiration from an Etsy seller, can't remember who, for a double-strand ribbon tied necklace, so I tried my hand at them..not bad I don't think.
I ended up using super glue on the tied ends, I did this because I had a nightmare (seriously!) that 2 of the girls had there's fall off because the ribbons were just tied to the jump rings. The superglue worked perfectly!

Aisle Runner
DONE!!
This monster of a DIY project is done! With the help of the FABULOUS instructions by Road to the Aisle I was able to recreate the monogram below. **BEWARE** thin, straight lines are HARD, as is fancy script (at least for a perfectionist like me)
Aisle Runner - from "I do originals" I decided to go with this one since the fabric is a little bit more substantial than the ones from Michaels, but not too outrageously priced - $93 with shipping
I went to staples to blow up the image - 400% bigger than a standard sheet of paper works perfectly - $2.12 (have the measure the IMAGE dimensions to determine the price, rather than the actual paper size
Paint & Paint Brushes - already had these on hand, used acrylic paint
Sparkles - used DecorArt "Glamour Dust" in Crystal - $1.99 - You paint on a thick layer of the paint, then sprinkle the stuff on the wet paint - I went in sections of about 3-4 inches
TOTAL = $97.11

Close up trying to show the sparkle :-)
Unity Candle
DONE!!
Found inspiration from all over, used vellum paper, ribbon and candles all from Michaels. To adhere I used mounting squares on all pieces.
