Paper Bridal Bouquet



This wedding bouquet from The Happy Scraps is AMAZING! I wish I had thought of making a paper bouquet when I got married - then I could have kept it for longer. What a neat idea!

Wedding Chalkboard Sign

The Life of a Craft Crazed Mom made this fun wedding sign. This would make a great wedding or anniversary gift!

Handmade Chalkboard Frame

Bohemian Junktion used a frame from Target to make this gorgeous frame. What a cute idea for a wedding, anniversary, or any other time!

His & Hers Mugs

Small Fine Print created these cute, personalized mugs for under $5! These would make such cute wedding or bridal shower gift - and wedding season is still in full swing!

First Dance Wedding Plaque

This plaque from Dear Beautiful You is so unique and charming! This would make a great wedding gift (if you know "their" song), an anniversary gift for a special couple, or even just something special to display in your house.

Single Bloom Fabric Bouquet

I'm loving this single bloom bouquet from Owl Really. She used as her bridal bouquet! I could see many other uses for it. In a smaller size, it would look beautiful as a clippie for hair, a necklace, bag or shirt!

Test Tube Spice Rack

Take some clean test tubes and fill them with spices! Isn't that the cutest spice rack you have ever seen? Dream Book Design has this savory idea! This would be fun for a Christmas or a wedding present.

Check out the test tube spice rack!!!

Crossroads Sign

I love these type of crossroad signs. This one was for a wedding at It's The Little Things That Make A House A Home, but I think it could be used for a party or just as yard decor.

Wedding Gift Galore!

With all the upcoming wedding this month, we all need ideas to give as gifts. Here are a few that I think any bride and groom would love! Link up your wedding gifts ideas at the bottom.

Anything with the couple's new last name makes newlyweds happy! It will be displayed for years (or at least until a new baby comes)! The Creative Crate created this personalized name blocks HERE.

His and Hers gifts are very fun! Make something like this for the bathroom or closet or maybe even a key rack. Lots of ideas for his/hers gifts. This idea is from All Things Beautiful!

Be the guest who gets the most compliments by making a wedding towel cake for a wedding gift. Can you hear the ooohs and aaaahs? The Pretty Policy made this cute You can also make some for the kitchen with kitchen towels or dishtowels, adding gadgets with long handles, like utensils, garden hand tools or anything else long and skinny! Way to cool!

I love these alphabet art photos. They would be great wedding gifts for anyone (especially if you created one with the newlyweds last name)! Read this post at Reinvented by Little Lizard King. She shares how to make these photo words by yourself (with the help of the internet.) See the fun idea HERE.

Monograms on the newlyweds initials with a big ampersand make a great gift! Who wouldn't love something like this hanging on a wall? Are We There Yet? shows how to make these gifts. (via Creative Crate.)

You've seen the fun gifts and signs with words or names spelled from objects. Take that idea one step farther by making a "date" sign or gift using various mismatched numbers. Perfect for a wedding/anniversary! Wouldn't that be fun with the person's first or last name written above or to the side of the numbers? I see this starting a new wedding gift trend. Learn how to make these at Hope Studios. Go HERE.

If the couple is LDS, anything with a temple on it makes a great gift. See how to make these personalized temple blocks HERE at Oopsey Daisy.

I personally think this is a grand idea for a wedding gift. No bride wants to go without knowing the in-laws important dates (namely birthdates). You may need to explain what it is and how to use it in a card, but it will be well-accepted. Learn how to make perpetual birthday calendars for yourself and as gifts for others on Nannygoat.
