Bouquet for Throwing...

My friend (and soon to be bride) came up with a brilliant idea for throwing the bouquet at her wedding.  She asked me to make a bouquet that was created with items that every lady in the room will want to take home.  Delighted, of course, to be involved, I got busy. This is what I came up with. I am still working on wrapping it in ribbon, but it is almost done (unless the bride objects!).

 Bouquet Includes:

• 2 mini B&B hand sanitizers
• A pack of gum
• Two Ghirardelli chocolates
• Three chapsticks
• Two mini nail files
• Two $1 lottery tickets
• 2 oz. bottle of B&B Sweet Pea lotion

Gifts for the Bride

My two best friends are getting married this year! Though I am thrilled about their upcoming nuptials, I am not so secretly delighted to craft and create for them. This was my first "Bride" hanger, so it is a little rough. Next time I will use much thinner wire.

My friend did the embroidery on this coffee/drink coozy for me and then I sewed it all together and added the button. Why, you might ask? Because you only get to do all of this once. If you do it a second time around, you should definitely elope!
