Inspiration for your road to the altar

Whether you are looking for a cute (and personal) way to package your bridesmaids gifts or a unique way to put some goodies into the rooms of your out of town guests, I love a good tote at a wedding!  There are a lot of adorable options that can be found at reasonable prices, or you can go the DIY route and make some yourself.  I opted to make my own for our wedding using a stencil which you can see in this post.  But to be honest, I think the items pictured above are much cuter than what I made!

If you opt for the DIY route, check out the link I referenced above or this great project from Ashley Ann Photography.  She used a doily to make a custom print, which might be a little overwhelming depending on the number of totes you’re making but I think it’s so adorable.  I found my plain bags online, similar to these promotional tote bags. What do you think? Worth the purchase of a custom option or an easy DIY project?

This definitely falls into the category of “wish I was cool enough to pull this off” but I am so in love with this over-sized organza flower. It reminds me of something you would see at an English wedding…elegant and just the slightest bit funky. {Found at Style by SOCA via Thoughtful Day}

Wouldn’t these signet rings be a great alternative to a wedding band? They are so classic and preppy – I love their simplicity and the idea of using your new married monogram for the engraving. It would also make a great anniversary gift! {Found via A Cup of Jo}
