Our design inspiration on the left and our actual cake by cake concepts.. ;)

accessory for our flowercake

by gerri diokno of home & bridal essentials

im not so solved with the colors used.. i wanted a deeper red (burgundy) and a lighter cream ribbon.. but i failed to monitor the progress kaya ayan, finished product na when i dropped by at gerri's place.. but that's ok.. she was able to elegantly execute our vintage theme and hand painted our monogram topped with swarovski stones.. =)

all these are beautifully packed in a sturdy box complete with instructions on how to use, haha ;)

ribbons, cameo charm & swarovski..

the ring[s]

burgundy ties with dainty vintage designs..
































red wine ties with fine vintage prints..

i borrowed mom's arrhae for "something borrowed".. but she wasn't able to keep it well.. so over the years nag-turnish na.. we decided to just get our own.. presenting our unity coins in two-tone color :)

5 beads representing our 5 years together as a couple.. wala lang..

early on we agreed that in lieu of souvenirs, we will instead donate the allocation for a charity work. but since we're crunch for time and loel (among others, hehe) is still insisting for a souvenir/giveaways, i finally relented. we searched for the perfect giveaways but i cant find the one that we really like. so now, i plan to Do-It-Myself again.. hay, katoxic.. i purchased the materials i intend to use.. in this mock-up i used a pea-sized burgundy crystal for the 10 hail mary's; .o8 crystalline stretch nylon, black glassbeads and silver/brass crucifix.. what do u think? u will receive this already blessed, in a pretty box along with a note! :)
