We can make almost any accessories you want. Following are some samples. In line with our goal of making your wedding as inexpensive as possible, we'll tell you when it's cheaper to make them yourselves, instead of buying from us. Feel free to copy our ideas. Also feel free to e-mail us with any questions on how to make anything you see on this page, of the ones we make ourselves.
How cute! A ring of flowers for the Flower Girl or if it's a girl, the Ring Bear to wear. Oops, I mean Ring Bearer. :-) We'll give you instructions on how to make one yourself, or for enough money, we'll make one for you. (They're simple, but we hate to make them.)
Surely we're not the only ones that want our doggies to be part of our special day! Okay, this isn't really our dog, but they didn't want their pictures taken. The bows can be cut to any length to fit your canine friend. Warning: Don't try this on cats! (Unless you have a lot of band-aids.)
Be sure you let us know if you need a matching flower spray for your pillow. We'll include it for free with one of the sets, but you need to order it with the set (pillow not included.) We won't automatically include it, so if you decide later you want it, you'll have to pay seperately for it, plus shipping. If you haven't found a pillow, we can put it on one for you, it will look similar to above and the pillow will be $5.00 (includes the spray and only if shipped with the set. Otherwise the shipping would be additional).
No-Brainer Table Decorations anyone can make
This is just a simple frosted wine goblet. I bought it at one of the close-out stores for a dollar. I filled it with styrofoam packing peanuts, grouped some flowers together (stems taped with florist tape), and put them in the glass. The whole thing cost about $3.00. You could fill the goblet with the glass marbles for a pretty look in a clear goblet. If you do that, wrap the stems in the white floral tape so they'll blend in with the marbles.
This is a topiary ball, covered in flowers with dangling ribbons. You can buy the ball at any crafts store. Just shove the flowers into the ball, in any pattern. I used 2 kinds of flowers and ivy. Then hang ribbon from a florist's wire pick, I used sheer ribbon, and stick it into the arrangement. I took two pieces of tissue paper used in wrapping gifts, set the "vase" into it, and then tied it on with a bow of the same ribbon. Looks hard, really isn't. You can make for $10-15. Buy your flowers at the dollar store and you can make this real cheap! This particular one cost $15.00 to make. It would look good on the head table. If you do this, stand back for the compliments on your creativity!

These are two different types of table decorations. The one on the left is perfect for the head table. The one on the right is simpler to make and would look great on each table at the reception. We sell the ones on the left for $50 a set and the ones on the right are $17 each (includes shipping.) For the ones on the right, the price decreases the more you order as it saves on shipping. If we make either of these, we don't include the candles. Again, to save on shipping. All the candles on this page and the enlarged page came from the dollar store. Any of these can be made in your colors. Again, if you want to make your own, just e-mail for instructions and we'll tell you how! Click on either of the pictures for enlargements and more colors! They're simple to make, but costly to mail!
Check on the favors page for complete instructions on how to make the little roses. Once they're made, just cover some Styrofoam in ivy, add in some small flowers, or not, and push the roses into the foam. Serves double duty--favors and decorations. Very, very simple to do!!!!

Believe it or not, this is a little red wagon.
She batted it and then covered it with material. Wrapped the handle in ribbon, hot glued flowers on the handle and then glued doilies on the wheels.
The perfect "vehicle" for the flower girl. Other of my customers have left it red and wrapped ivy all around it. I like this version best.
