Can't Say I Do Without You

Before you start any wedding planning you must gather your girls! I wanted  to do something special and creative for my bridesmaids. I really liked the idea of the bridesmaids box and found several different cute ones online. Here is what I came up with....

Needs:
Cigar Boxes
Wood Marker
Stencils
Spray Paint
Lace
ribbon
Hole Punch
Goodies of Choice

First off you will need to paint your boxes. Make sure to pull the stickers off the bottom, this can be tricky. After your paint drys over night, use stencils and the wood marker for the wording on your box. The name looks best on the front, you may have to free hand some.  I found a map of my venue online, so I used photo shop to make it look vintage.  This made a awesome bottom for the box. Last fill your box with goodies and be creative! Each one of my bridesmaids had a different box.

Use lace to dress it up!

 

 

I used left over paint swatches and made hearts for the wedding date. Use a hole punch very carefully and tie your heart with some fine string or ribbon to the lace. You can slide the bow on and off very easily to open. That's all til next time, thanks for stopping by...
